Enphase EN-CT-200-SPLIT

I researched these and verified that these are, indeed, the same consumption monitors that the solar company I used in South Carolina would install if I paid them to do so. There's lots of videos online to help you through the installation because it really is not that difficult. Nice to see where your electricity is going. Good addition if you have solar panels.

I have a solar array and wasn't setup to see my consumption. Called my solar provider and they were going to charge $250 for installation and have a long wait for a tech. I got a 3rd party work release form and ended up doing it myself. I don't have access to the enphase installer app, so I called them and played dumb and they were able to activate them remotely. Saved alot of money, there's plenty of YouTube videos showing how to hook them up.

I forgot to answer a question about where to place these units, I think because the leads are rather short. As you can see I installed mine at the drop outside. Had to install underground conduit to go 30 feet. Leads on the units are a mite short for that. Just solder on to the leads what you need and keep track what leads go what unit.

I purchased the monitor to use with my Enphase solar system and the continuous energy monitor proves so much information! I can finally see how much energy my home is using REAL TIME along with solar energy production. This device is a MUST have!!

The direction arrow on the CT was backwards. Using this on an Enfase combiner panel to record consumption parameters. I'm a retired industrial electrician and have installed dozens of these.

They started transmitting data almost immediately. Make sure you use a competent installer. First guy couldn't get them arranged so the cover would go back on and they didn't have them oriented correctly. Had problems with the app for a week before they came out and installed everything correctly. But the product works splendidly.

I just wish there were some kind of mounting hardware or other way to fix it securely to the conductors that it's measuring. In my panel, without electrical tape, it just hangs on the conductor. Works fine, but this is not what the inside of a load center should look like, and may not even conform to code in some jurisdictions.

Make sure you buy two of these. Install is very simple and no reason to hire an electrician to do it unless you just aren't comfortable messing with your panel.
