What is an Energy Consumption Meter?

A solar customer may want to add an energy consumption meter to their home for several reasons. One of the main reasons is to monitor their energy usage and identify areas where they can make changes to reduce consumption and save money on their energy bills.

Track Household Energy

Having an energy consumption meter can help the customer to see exactly how much energy they are using in real time, which can be useful for identifying patterns and habits that lead to high energy usage. This information can be used to make changes to reduce consumption, such as turning off lights or appliances when not in use, or investing in more energy-efficient appliances.

Track Solar Performance

Another reason a solar customer may want to add an energy consumption meter is to monitor their solar system’s performance. By tracking their energy consumption, they can see how much energy they are producing and using from the solar system, and how much they are still purchasing from the grid. This information can be used to optimise the solar system’s performance and ensure that it is working at its most efficient.

Identify Energy Problems

Additionally, having an energy consumption meter can identify production issues with the solar system, such as a malfunctioning panel or inverter. By monitoring the energy consumption and production, the customer can quickly identify any issues and have them resolved before they lead to significant problems.

Furthermore, an energy consumption meter can be useful for customers who are interested in tracking their home’s carbon footprint, it can help them to understand the impact of their energy usage on the environment and make conscious choices to reduce it.

In summary, an energy consumption meter can be a valuable tool for solar customers, allowing them to monitor and reduce their energy usage, optimize their solar system’s performance, identify issues, and track their home’s carbon footprint.
