In most homes, you can monitor your electricity consumption by checking the meter in the breaker box. Using this meter, you can learn to reduce energy use by understanding which devices are pulling power and when. You can also see how much of your energy is coming from the grid if you live in an area with net metering. However, most meters only provide a snapshot of your overall energy usage. Newer smart meters give your utility company insight into your specific power usage, which can impact the way you are billed. For example, some utilities offer time-of-use rates, where you pay more for power when the demand is high, and less when demand is low. A smart meter will help you know when your peak times are, so you can plan accordingly.

Panel Power Meter are powerful, three phase instruments that can help with a range of monitoring needs. Often used in building management and commercial facilities, these meters come with a multitude of functionality including kWh measurement, data logging, time-of-use and power quality detection. Many of these meters also come with an option to communicate over a variety of protocols. These meters are ideal for OEMs who wish to incorporate a greater level of functionality into their products, and they can be easily mounted on panels.

The meter can be installed inside the panel or behind it. The meter measures the voltage, current, power and a number of other electrical parameters. It then displays these readings on a large LCD screen. It can also be connected to a computer to display the information in a real-time data table, making it easy for users to understand what they are doing with their power. A meter that connects to a computer can also send the data directly to a building automation system, making it easier for users to make smarter decisions about their energy usage.

Besides displaying the information on a screen, these meters can also be used to record and store the data for later use. Most of these meters are equipped with a USB port to facilitate this process. The data can then be exported in different formats, and the user can access it whenever they want. This can be especially helpful for users who are looking to save on their energy costs, as they can keep a close eye on their electricity usage and determine where the money is going.

If you have a solar panel, these meters can help you track your energy production and consumption in real-time. Some of them even come with a solar ready option, which will allow you to connect the device to your solar inverter and measure your energy production as well as your energy export back into the grid.

In addition to being useful for tracking energy usage, these meters can also be useful in identifying problems with your home's wiring and other electrical issues. If you notice a lot of volts, amps or watts being pulled from a particular circuit breaker in your house, it is best to consult an electrician for assistance.
