IAMMETER Solar PV Monitoring Solution | Real-time Solar Generation & Energy Consumption Analysis

☀️ IAMMETER Solar PV Monitoring Solution

💡 About IAMMETER

IAMMETER is a professional smart energy management solution provider dedicated to helping users reduce electricity costs efficiently. By combining smart energy meters, a powerful cloud platform, and open integration APIs, IAMMETER enables users to monitor solar generation and household consumption, analyze energy usage, optimize self-consumption, and automate load control — ultimately achieving efficient energy use and cost savings.

This article introduces IAMMETER’s complete solar PV monitoring solution for residential systems. In short:

“Monitor both solar generation and energy consumption with a single meter, automate load control, and make the most of your solar surplus.”

⚙️ Solution Overview

In traditional solar PV systems, inverter monitoring relies on the manufacturer’s proprietary Wi-Fi module. If you also want to monitor grid power, an additional meter—compatible only with that specific inverter brand—is usually required.

This setup comes with several limitations:

• The meter is often expensive and restricted to a single inverter brand;
• Multiple inverter brands at the same site cannot be monitored together;
• Users cannot easily view both generation and consumption on one unified platform.

IAMMETER offers a simpler and more flexible solution. Our meters directly measure both the inverter output and grid power (including import and export), providing a complete picture of your PV system’s performance. When paired with IAMMETER-Cloud (optional) and the WPC3700 Wi-Fi Power Controller, users can maximize solar utilization, increase self-consumption, and boost their overall system ROI.

🔸 Hardware

All IAMMETER three-phase meters can be configured as three independent single-phase meters. For example, in the setup below, a single WEM3050T three-phase meter measures both the grid (Phase A) and the inverter output (Phase C):

Example: Using one WEM3050T (3-phase meter) to monitor a single-phase grid and inverter

IAMMETER meters support a variety of grid and inverter combinations across different regions and standards. The table below shows typical configurations and required meters:

🔸 Software

IAMMETER provides two main software platforms for different user needs:

1️⃣ IAMMETER-Cloud

For general users, IAMMETER-Cloud offers complete PV system monitoring with minimal setup.

• Real-time monitoring of generation, load, and grid interaction
• Automatic calculation of self-consumption, yield, and trends
• Centralized management for multiple sites
• IAMMETER Cloud API for data access and custom integration

2️⃣ Third-party Integrations (Open Ecosystem)

For power users and system integrators, IAMMETER meters integrate seamlessly with open-source platforms such as:

• Home Assistant
• Node-RED
• OpenHAB
• Zabbix / ThingsBoard / ioBroker

• Monitor Your Solar PV System in Home Assistant
• Monitor Solar PV in Node-RED

🔄 Smart Automation for Self-consumption

With the WPC3700 Wi-Fi Power Controller, IAMMETER can automatically manage household loads based on real-time power data, enabling intelligent use of surplus solar energy.

• Auto-adjust Mode: Dynamically adjusts heater power according to feed-in energy—higher power on sunny days, lower on cloudy ones—reducing or even eliminating grid export.
• Smart Integration Mode: Works with MQTT or local API to integrate with Home Assistant or Node-RED, allowing fully customized solar surplus automation.

🔥 Transform self-consumption from manual adjustment to intelligent automation.

🌞 IAMMETER-Cloud for Residential Solar Monitoring

IAMMETER-Cloud is the central platform for energy management and data visualization. All IAMMETER meters can connect directly to the Cloud service:

• WEM3050T includes the IAMMETER-Cloud Basic Plan
• Other models come with the Pro Plan (Users can also disable cloud upload and operate the meter locally.)

IAMMETER-Cloud provides dedicated dashboards and reports tailored for residential solar systems.

📊 Monitoring and Analysis Features

• Real-time tracking of generation, consumption, and grid power
• Multi-dimensional reports (daily / monthly / yearly)
• Data export and savings analysis
• System alerts and performance insights

Solar Generation Overview Solar yield = direct self-use + export to grid. This chart shows how your generation is divided between direct use and export.

Load Consumption Overview Consumption = direct self-use + import from grid. This chart compares self-use with grid import.

Import & Export Energy Shows both grid import and export at a glance.

Self-consumption and Financial Benefit IAMMETER-Cloud calculates total benefit as: (self-use × electricity price) + (export × feed-in price) It also provides your self-consumption ratio and ROI.

Energy Billing (for PV and general use) IAMMETER-Cloud supports multiple tariff models: fixed rate, tiered rate, time-of-use (TOU), and advanced TOU.

📱 Mobile App and Visualization

• Available on iOS and Android (real-time cloud sync)
• Fully customizable charts, dashboards, and tariffs
• Real-time notifications and historical trend analysis
