Re: I've gone and done it ... solar installHow does Duke "know" how much power you generate?
Say for example at a given point in time if you're burning 4KW and your production is 4KW, the utility meter sits idle.
Is there any method of capturing your generation production ? (other than through the Enphase Enlighten website)
I find the production data listed on Enlighten is close to what my revenue meter registers on a monthly basis, but what they are reporting is consistently somewhat higher.
My SREC's are based on total generation regardless how much of it I used myself. |

I got that... I was curious how you will measure how much power is being generated. |

I have a device that each inverter reports to, it uploads the data to the companies server to show it online. » enlighten.enphaseenergy. ··· ZFS75933I also use my Ted5000 to give me my usage information. It measures the mains from the meter and the feed from the array, using the 2 measurements to give me all the information I need. |

I'm also using a TED-5000 with two sets of CT's and the Enphase Envoy. I like how you have an image in the background, How'd you do that?! I also use a free firefox add-on, Ted the toolbar, it gives me a real-time view of the system voltage and net KW while browsing. It also has full-window graphs you can launch. » addons.mozilla.org/en-US ··· toolbar/ |

My installer was dragging their feet getting it setup, so I did it myself. If you are not able to get to it, send an image to your installer and ask them to add it. |
