Often when I am wiring a solar panel system I want to know the exact voltage and amperage in different scenarios to make sure I have the wiring correct going into the charge controller or solar generator. This can be a bit tough just trying to use a clamp meter and for as little as $15 there is a better solution you can get from Amazon which will provide much more information on your overall system performance.

will do 👊
I spotted a potential flaw in the testing. The Yunsailing 100V watt meter uses 12AWG wires. So it would automatically add 12AWG loss wherever you add it in the chain. I imagine for more accurate results you would need to resolder 8AWG wires to the Yunsailing, or get a higher quality meter such as the Powerwerx Watt Meter Plus, which uses 8 gauge wires with preinstalled SB50 Powerpole connectors.
Thanks for the info, I was literally debating between getting a clamp meter or an in-line meter last week. I'll probably get both now 😆
Looking forward to your ecoflow delta pro testing. We just picked up one of those during Prime Day
Nice, yeah Prime Day is usually the best or one of the best days to purchase an EcoFlow 👍
Rather than buying a MC4 crimping kit that I'll probably never use again, I bought a pair of terminated Y cables for less than $10, cut the ends and solder/spliced them to the meter leads and covered with shrink tubing.
Hi, (sorry for my English, but I'm using a translator) after seeing your video I decided to buy 3 power analyzers to monitor the production of my panels, but I'm encountering a big problem:
Leaving them connected "source" to the PV panels and "Load" to the charge controller, logically when the sun is no longer shining the analyzer switches off and resets, but when the sun returns and the PV panels start producing again, the analyzer it only displays a blue screen without any value and to display the data again I am forced to disconnect the cables (the two Rossi ones are enough) and everything starts again.
Is all this normal or are my analyzers not working properly?
Can you recommend any other power analyzer that is right for me?
Thanks for your answer
Greetings @Tetotech
I have (2) strings in series feeding my (2) Delta pros. Each string produces approximately 110 volts and 13.73 amps. I’m can’t find anything tells me if I should install disconnects or inline fuses? Can you please help?
This device is almost usable, but for anyone serious its useless. My open voltage per string is 133.2, do you know of any device that can monitor this array?
Yeah, I have been on a quest for one that can go up to 200V but no luck yet.
First!
