kWh Metering [RE-wrenches]

[August Goers]

Travis and Wrenches,

Sounds like a neat product. As another option, most of the remote monitoring
products such as Fat Spaniel offer clamp on current transducers to measure
usage. But they can get expensive. 

If you want to measure the customer's usage wouldn't you need to put the CTs
on the load side of the panel rather than between the utility meter and load
center?

http://www.theenergydetective.com/index.html  might be just the ticket.
Cheap and easy to install.  We've used a qty of these and are really
impressed with them.  The only trouble I've had is at my own house where the
local COOP uses a remote meter reading system (Turtle?) and the read pulse
caused mine fits.  They claim to have resolved this issue with new models.

Wrenches,

We have a net-metered client who wants to add a kWh meter for metering her
house loads. She presently has a standard utility type kWhr meter for the
output of her Sunny Boy inverter in addition to her utility meter. Is there
a reasonable alternative to an in line (between the grid and her load center
panel) utility type kWh meter?

Thanks,

Dave
