Many solar inverters show how much the panels produce, but not how much of that energy your home or business uses, or how much you import from the grid in the evening. Without consumption data, it's hard to judge whether a battery would pay off, which appliances drive your bills or whether your system is performing as it should.

An energy monitoring dashboard uses current transformer (CT) sensors in your switchboard to measure grid import, export, solar production and, if you choose, individual circuits such as air-conditioning or hot water. Our licensed electricians install the hardware and we set up the dashboard with you. Pricing starts from $590 per site, installed and set up. This is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after we check your switchboard and the circuits you want to monitor.

What's included

  • Switchboard check to confirm sensor locations and space for the monitor
  • Supply and installation of the monitoring unit and CT sensors on the main supply and solar
  • Optional sensors on selected circuits, quoted per circuit
  • Connection to your Wi-Fi and set-up of the online dashboard and app
  • Entry of your tariff details so the dashboard can estimate costs
  • Testing to confirm import, export and production readings are correct
  • A walk-through of the dashboard and how to read your self-consumption

Why Blue Energy Solar

We rely on monitoring data when sizing batteries and diagnosing solar performance, so we set it up to answer useful questions, not just to show graphs. If your existing inverter or battery already offers consumption monitoring, we will tell you before you spend money. We are a New Energy Tech Approved Seller with $20 million public liability cover, and installation is carried out by our licensed electricians.

Recommended for

Homes and businesses that want to see exactly when they use, import and export electricity before deciding on a battery, EV charger or tariff.

Monitoring shows the problem; it doesn't fix it. The value comes from what you do with the data, such as moving loads into solar hours, choosing a better tariff or sizing a battery correctly.

Three-phase supplies, multiple solar inverters and extra circuit sensors add hardware and time. Readings are for your information and may differ slightly from your electricity meter, which remains the basis for billing. A stable Wi-Fi signal at the switchboard is needed; if the signal is weak, we may recommend a network extender. After several months of data, a battery or tariff review becomes far more accurate.

Directions

1. Request a quote and tell us what you would like to monitor.
2. We check photos of your switchboard, or visit, to confirm sensor locations and Wi-Fi signal.
3. You receive a fixed written quote, including any optional circuit sensors.
4. Our licensed electricians install the monitor and sensors, usually in a few hours.
5. We set up the dashboard, check the readings and show you how to use it.

Warnings

The listed price is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after we check your switchboard and monitoring needs.
A stable internet connection at the switchboard location is required for live data.
Additional circuit sensors, three-phase monitoring and switchboard upgrades are quoted separately.
Dashboard readings are indicative; your electricity meter remains the basis for billing.
A brief power interruption may be needed during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most standard inverter apps only show solar production. Without a consumption meter, they can't show what your home uses, when you import from the grid or how much solar you export. A monitoring dashboard fills that gap. Some hybrid inverters and batteries already include consumption metering, and we check yours before recommending extra hardware.

You can monitor individual circuits, such as air-conditioning, hot water, a pool pump or an EV charger, by adding a sensor to each circuit at the switchboard. Appliances that share a general power circuit can't be separated this way. We suggest which circuits are worth monitoring based on your likely biggest loads, so you don't pay for sensors you won't use.

Yes, and it is one of the best reasons to install it. A battery quote is much more accurate when it is based on real evening import and daytime export, rather than estimates from bills. A few months of data across different seasons shows how much surplus solar you have and how much you use after dark.

Your data is stored by the monitoring platform under its privacy terms, and you control who can see your dashboard. We only access it with your permission, for example when you request a battery sizing or performance review. If you sell the property, the account can be transferred or closed. We explain the account set-up and sharing options during installation.
