DeepBass9 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I am going to install a wind generator to supplement my solar system. The controller for the turbine only has an analogue ammeter on it. I would like to monitor the power production on an instantaneous, daily and monthly/ total basis. Is there a gizmo that will do this? I guess you need to monitor the power going from the charge controller to the batteries? So measuring volts and amps there will give you the power. What can I use to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepBass9 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Is there something like this which works with DC? http://www.sustainable.co.za/efergy-e2-wireless-single-phase-electricity-monitor.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepBass9 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Found some meters on Amazon, quite cheap and look like they will do the job : https://powerwerx.com/watt-meter-analyzer-inline-dc-powerpole https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JOUZELG?psc=1 Chris Hobson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdiy Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 A battery monitor, e.g. BMV? It will measure volts and current and can be logged... ___ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
