    Monitoring.

    Hi,

    The controller I have the Morning star one has the ability to connect to your computer and store data points of amps / voltage the system is putting out.


    There are other devices out there that do the same, that can be plugged inline and do data logging.
    See my experiments here...

    You do not have to prove something for it to be true. However, you do have to prove something for others to believe it true.

      You can start by connecting an ampermeter and multimeter to you power circuit.

      It is connected directly to your home network ?

        Watt's Up

        If you are not grid tied, and using batteries, this is nice (and affordable) tool, the Watt's Up meter:

        Watt's Up Meter on ebay

        If you are on a very simple grid tie you can use your existing meter outside, and also a kill-a-watt meter.

        Has anyone seen my Bedini Ceiling Fan that pushes the warm air down, and charges batteries as an added bonus? Me neither. 'Bout time I made one!!!!! :P
