http://egauge2574.egaug.es/ Now, what do you want to measure. Being an off-grid system, all you can measure is the output. The normal use for an egauge is to compare load with output in a grid tied system, or output to utility export/import in a hybrid system. In the system I just set up, it would

The eGauge can measure battery voltage now (using L3 input), been running with it for months, and they are finishing up work on a DC CT to show amperage too. Fantastic product, and now even more so for the off-grid crowd. This is the first time we can really see what it happening in remote

Nice to hear they are working on a DC current sensor. Without that, the e-gauge is of no use to my off-grid clients (for the price). They need to see solar and wind input, too. -- Dan Fink, Executive Director; Otherpower Buckville Energy Consulting Buckville Publications LLC NABCEP / IREC
