eGauge offers a low-cost solution for PV generation monitoring, with net and branch-circuit demand monitoring on up to 12 input channels. Data is sent over PLC to the homeowner’s router. The company is working on a half-height enclosure for easier installation in the breaker panel. The device has a built-in Web server for local access, which displays the same highly detailed charts as the eGauge Web site to track energy generation and consumption. It also syncs with the Google PowerMeter Web site.
