So easy to set up. Results are better than I had hope. Now I can see at a glance solar used, grid feed in and power used giving me an overall instant view of what is happening. Very happy.

powersensor vs Powerpal
When you have had the two running together it very obvious that the Powersensor Solar Monitor is by far the better way to go. It allows you to see just what the system is doing, then shape your load to suit. Very, very Happy.

Great product
Very accurate
I was sceptical at first but I can reference my solar product on my invertor and compare it to the app and it's within 0.2kwh difference at the end of the days production
I also purchased additional wall plugs to monitor heavy use items like dishwasher and airfryer
