Hi All, After chatting with Rich, I put together this infographic to help people check their meters. It seems like the biggest commonality and should be fairly easy for them to find. Unfortunately, there's still a good deal of variation in meters, so it's not exactly a simple infographic. Let ...

Hi Samuel, Thanks for posting your question here! It's quite doable to add to an existing system. Based on my understanding of the issue, the primary hurdles you may face are: Inverter capacity -- If your system uses a single string inverter rather than microinverters on each panel, you may need ...
