PV TOU Meter [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

Hi Joel,

One option is to get another TOU meter, hook it up to your inverter, and
since it only runs one way, will keep track of all power producted in each
time period.  I have a standard KWH meter ( dial type) to keep track of
mine.  ( I run my forward as its easier to count).



Hope that helps,,

jay
