Hey all!

My name is Dave. I installed a solar system last spring and discovered the amount of power we were actually using! I knew we had hefty electric bills since we have an all electric house. I really never thought about how much until I saw the usage detail from the inverter. With that big shock there came the urge to get more detail and try to cut usage down where we could. Using a clamp-on amp meter just wasn’t working very well. So, my journey in the Emporia world had begun.

Our solar system consists of two Sol-Ark 15K inverters, 32 – 480 watt solar panels and 30Kw of battery backup. We recently bought a new  EV, which really pushed me on this journey.  I installed an Emporia EV charger. If I am going to install the EV charger, I gotta have the Vue2 also!

I am still working out how the Vue2 is calculating and displaying items. It hasn’t clicked yet in my head exactly the meaning of some of the stat names (net usage, total usage) and the display differences when switching from watts to amps. I think I’ll be able to figure it out. If not, I can give support a call.

Have a great day!
