Curiosity...
Can this meter "understand" negative power loads? That is...if I hook up a set of solar panels...or Wind Mill...will it understand the "negative" load that I am putting on it?
I was thinking about this, and since the power that is "grid-tied" would go through a branch...I would be able to predict how much of a savings I am getting by monitoring the output of the grid tied inverter.
It would help with quite a few metrics of the alternative power system.

The data from the ECM-1240 (CH1 & CH2 only) provides enough information to determine:
Energy generated
Energy to & from the grid
Energy sold/returned to the grid
Total Energy consumed
Hope this helps.

Any further info on the correct way to hook up Net Metering on the 1240 using the MicroCTs (for Ch2) and what Type and Range to use???
I may need a documentation rewrite to something like "Net Metering for Dummies" on this one...help!!!
