I would agree. Hence why I said "This isn't how I'm doing my personal solar power."

Apparently American units are coming with an outlet you install in place of a standard outlet which does monitor the combined power, so the building will have to be modified slightly. Still...any more than a couple hundred watts, if you can, have a proper system installed.

    This doesn't sound right: measuring at one outlet doesn't grantee you're measuring the full circuit load unless you can be absolutely sure it's the very first outlet in a branch circuit specifically. A ring circuit throws that idea out entirely. To measure reliably, you'd have to measure at the breaker itself as well as the solar inverter.

    Maybe a replacement breaker, that measures and comunicates with the imverter?

    You run into compatibility issues with the different electrical panel manufacturers though...

    Idk, I'll have to get my hands on one of these kits when available and look closer.
