Hi all... First post after lurking for a long time. Hopefully its posted in the right spot.
I have a house which is wired up three phase.
Currently I have a 9.88kw solar system on it with an SMA tripower 10KW inverter.
In order to plan for a battery system I would like to first connect a data logger on the main supply to see what my grid in vs grid out vs consumed solar is and the total, peaks and average power consumption numbers are.
I've previously monitored the house but this excluded many things in the shed such as freezers, lights and welding equipment and it wasnt a logging device just a cheap, "keep an eye on it" type thing.
Does anyone have a suggestion for such a device (used is very much OK) that can be attached in there somewhere and log the data to a memory card?
I'm wondering if I need a 6 clamp device? 3 clamps for measuring solar power used and exported and 3 clamps for grid used as the output on grid wires will be measured on the solar exported clamps.
Hopefully this makes sense?
Cheers
Tony
