Stop guessing and start measuring. Most people make a massive, expensive mistake when going solar: they size their system based on a hunch. In this video, I’m showing you the exact device you need to install before you buy a single solar panel, battery, or inverter.
The Refoss Open API Smart Energy Monitor is a game-changer for anyone looking to go DIY solar or just lower their electric bill. By collecting a year of data first, you can save thousands of dollars by not overbuilding (or under-sizing) your system. Plus, with its local Open API and Home Assistant integration, you get total privacy and the power to create smart automations that squeeze every watt out of your solar production.
