Solar Analytics Smart Monitor quoted separately by your retailer
Having a consumption meter means you can keep an eye on how much power you’re using (and when), and take advantage of load shifting i.e. using energy-hungry appliances when you’re producing your solar. Tracking your consumption patterns will also make it easier for you to decide when to invest in a battery
Note: Our Classic solution already collects consumption data via the Solar Analytics smart monitor
