Jay; I'm happy with the Emporia system, there's no hassle with the software trying to "learn" anything. I just installed one on an existing PV system that had 2 string inverter arrays, and 1 microinverter array added later. Each array had its own PV breaker in a PV subpanel, so it was really simple to clip a CT on each array in the sub panel, and locate the Main CTs and HVAC etc CTs in the main panel with the Wifi transmitter. I just had to make up 3 x 1/8" phone plug extension cords to run from the PV subpanel to the wifi box in the main panel.
I like how we can now monitor each PV array individually, the mains, plus a bunch of appliances.
