If the inverter(s) provided energy production data, you would
already have all the information you really need. Sounds like it
must not. So, if you are looking for something that is relative
inexpensive and reasonably accurate, but not revenue grade, you
could use an <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://efergy.us/efergy-tpm">Efergy True Power meter</a> to
measure the solar energy produced. It provides daily energy produced
or used on the circuit being measured for seven days. Then the data
roll up into weekly and monthly totals. This device doesn't
communicate via the internet so there is no data storage on a cloud
server. I have been using one on my personal system for many years.
Transmits about 200 feet from the PV array to the portable monitor
that I keep at the house.<br>

Does anyone have a recommendation for a high quality meter that can be installed near the Main 200 Amp Electric Service Panel at the Point Of Interconnection in the Main Service Panel for a Grid Tied System
The client wants to be able to track the electricity the household is actually using
And how much the solar electric system is producing
In the net metering arrangement with Central Hudson in NY, all the client gets to see on their bill is the net result of the solar credits subtracted from the actual usage. In this case, the solar generated credits is consistently zero because the usage exceeds the production
