The perfect complement to solar energy

I fell in love with the meaning for a few years. I just added solar panels but the connection was more than 30 meters away so I figured I'd never get dense solar panels to work. Bought a shield wire coil and paired it with this kit to get it up to 100ft where my solar panel comes into my house and it works perfectly.

Pros
  • Compare solar power production to your home's energy use over time to maximize your solar investment.
Cons
  • Hard to say

An excellent upgrade!

Great addition to a Sense if you already have a Sense and are adding diesel. It would be nice if the cables were longer as not everyone has a solar panel connected to the switch. I have a 20kW system and my equipment is outside. Luckily the company that installed my panels was able to connect a longer cable. At least she could offer an extension cord for it. Apart from the length, the sun sensor works great!

Pros
  • Connects directly to your Sense Home Energy Monitor, no additional hardware or cables required!
Cons
  • Damaged

Great Solar Power Generation Monitoring

Easy to install, works great. The number reported by Sense Solar matches the monitor built into my solar inverter. BUT unlike my solar inverter, I have useful access to the Sense data and it is displayed along with a detailed report of total energy usage. in my house. (Inverter cannot do this.) VERY SATISFIED with this unit.

Pros
  • Must be installed by a licensed electrician or solar panel installer.
Cons
  • Expandable

Sounds good in theory but doesn't work at all

I already had a sense installed before buying solar. I was happy to see that I could only add $50 to the solar data, but this $50 addon is just 2 4ft cables that cost about $5 and I can't even use them because you use them The only way to use it is to leave them stuck between boxes, creating a fire and electrical hazard. If your solar panels and backup modules don't connect directly, this is a worthless purchase.

Pros
  • Track solar power generation directly in the free Sense app for iOS and Android.
Cons
  • High price
