Third on the Emporia monitor. The other thing about the Emporia system, is that with the EV charger, which is highly rated, you can have the monitor and EV charger work together to charge on excess solar instead of selling it back to the grid. This is the cheap way to help future proof your PV system against NEM 3. Just put the excess solar in the EV for use later on. This does mean you have to be able to charge from home during the day.
