Wattage produced by the generator. This is a specific need this
particular client has, although of course we will be monitoring usage by
at least two sub panels as well as well pump usage if
practicable.<br><br>
I have finally figured out how to scan the home screen of a gird-tied
E-Gauge system. Once I reviewed the correct You Tube video it all
made sense. The colors and the white are all combine to give a
clear image of a grid-tied system operation.<br><br>
I am assuming that if I configure an off-grid E-Gauge system correctly,
the green area above the pink line will represent battery charging minus
efficiency losses. Is this your understanding?<br><br>

</dd><dd>Now, what do you want to measure. Being an off-grid system, all you
can measure is the output. The normal use for an egauge is to compare
load with output in a grid tied system, or output to utility
export/import in a hybrid system. In the system I just set up, it would
only show the power output of the inverter, as the CTs cannot measure the
DC output of the solar system.</dd></blockquote></dd></dl></div></div></blockquote><br>
