Kilowatt Hour Meter with interface [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Nick,

Unless things have drastically improved with the 5548s, your customer might
experience high starting amperage shut-downs (usually on Saturday evenings
or Sunday mornings) and call you to come fix it!
Most off-grid installers (like myself) use the 4048s, since they have a much
better motor starting/surge capability than the 55s. I've never encountered
a kWhr meter that can talk to a computer (except in the SunnyBoy of course).
If you find one, let us know!

Good luck.

Matt

Hello Wrenches:
    We are installing a 6.6 kW off grid system with the power building 500'
from the residence.  The customer will be connecting to the SW5548s with SW
Communication Adapters, but also would like Kilowatt Hour Meters that could
communicate with his computer.  He will use this to monitor his sub system
power usages and total system usages.  Any suggestion would be greatly
appreciated.
                                Sincerely,
                                Nick Nicholas
