A 1.2kW 48v wind turbine & grid tie have been purchased for this project courtesy of YoBit.net. Installation is currently predicted to occur early next month.

Can you send links to the wind turbine. Not sure if my neighbors would appreciate looking at one but, very curious.

I wouldn't go near anywhere near anything IoT-related at the moment. At least not until IoT developers get their security act together: https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/04/a-vigilante-is-putting-huge-amount-of-work-into-infecting-iot-devices/

Worst they could do is disable the wind turbine... Not a big concern. As far as a simple energy monitor with wifi, I was thinking more along the lines of something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Monitoring-Wireless-Household-Appliances/dp/B01M3MYIFS/

There is no way a plug can monitor production.

Sure there is. Any regular kill-a-watt meter will do it.

News to me.

My utility meter outside shows energy flowing out of the grid and energy flowing into the grid separately. But it is unaware of energy being consumed as it it being generated.
The SunPower meter knows because of configuration being middle man between solar panels, grid and relay panel.

I've used kill-a-watt's before to measure energy consumption, it just measures the flow passing between the outlet & the device(s).

I'll have to do some testing once I get a wind turbine up and running, but I am hoping that a typical smart outlet will be capable of tracking the energy production from an inverter. As shown in the previously linked video, it is easy to monitor using a kill-a-watt (and there are even wifi hacks available), but I want an out of the box wifi enabled monitoring solution with elegant built-in tracking software.

I've seen the xbee hack before using a rpi... Kill-a-watt makes a wifi model out of the box but it's not elegant and probably only works out of the box with its own display/receiver and likely has minimal tracking, I doubt it is anything you could pull the data from remotely if that is what your trying to do? I believe placing the device after the inverter should effectively monitor "production" in the sense that it is monitoring the energy coming out of the inverter

TED 5000C and eMonitor are some others you might want to look at
and "The Owl" might be another manufacturer to look at.

This should be able to do it when paired with Samsung Smart Things

my SunPower is setup to show both overall production and overall usage.

Yes, but will it track production the same way it tracks usage? I would assume so given that it is AC, but my electronics classes were many moons ago.

Northeast gets some decent production too. April showers raining on my generation lately. but here was a couple days ago

Looks much better. I'm anxious to see what my production curve will look like in July. I'm also beginning to piece together a wind turbine system. I'm wondering if those cheap smart plugs that chart energy usage via wifi would also chart energy production so I could have some data there. If anyone knows the answer, or is able to give a simple energy production tracking method for a standard outlet I would love to hear it.

Ognasty,
your system is nearly identical to mine and also in northeast. Your production should be almost a mirror of this:

http://imgur.com/a/GS6y6

I'm in Arizona. Cool to see other solar owners out there.

Oh, Could have sworn on the thread that you said you were in the Bronx. Must have been someone else. interested to see the production diff in the coming months.
I have a chimney casting on shadow during parts of the day on a set of 12 panels, while the other 18 are never blocked.
But the set of 12 happens to face a southwest, so I do get generation until close to sunset.

You are probably thinking of phillipma1957 in terms of "Solar on the Northeast".

I think the confusion came from the below post where bronxnua quoted the OP and gave his location.

Quote from: bronxnua on February 15, 2017, 10:24:08 PM

I installed 35 of those panels.. I currently have 4500 KW hours credit with Con Edison in Bronx, NY

Another "slightly cloudy" day today, but here's an idea of how geographic location can effect solar production.
