    Yes, the system can do that for you. You can monitor individual circuits with the use of the individual 50A Current Transformers attached to a circuit. You can see stuff in real-time, over the course of a day, or weeks/months/years. Here’s what mine looks like for charging:

    I ended up moving the 200A CTs to the meter panel before where the solar is connected, so it is now correctly monitoring.

    Here’s the main meter panel. Solar is fed from the bottom. I connected the 200A CTs right below the breaker. Feeding the leads through the rear conduit was  amusing (difficult). But it now works properly.


    And here’s what the monitoring looks like now:

    One note to add. If I subtract the solar production of 28.362 from the net usage of 25.707 I get -2.655. If you round that up, you get the 2.7 kWh that my utility says I exported.

    Alternately, you can subtract the 28.362 from Total Usage of 47.251 to get 18.889. And then if you subtract the 21.544 Balance from that, you once again end up with -2.655. So the data to compute what I’m exporting is there, it just can’t be easily presented in the app.
