Note that the IDEAL 61-757 ($133) is very similar to the 61-747 ($90 - Lowes special). Major differences are the 757 goes up to 1000V while the 747 goes up to 600V. In addition, the 757 has a low impedance AC Voltage mode for very small voltages. Neither of these features are likely to be important to DYI folks.

Agreed, I have the 61-747 👍 and have found Lowe's to be the cheapest. Thanks for the feedback!

Very helpful, thank you!

Thank you. I just purchased my first solar system

Now take your new vom with amp clamp To the meter on your house Measure amps Turn off the main Measure line voltage Multiply the two and that will give you the actual watts that are going into the grid

You could also Subtract line voltage from output voltage what should be 274 Then divide buy line voltage multiply by 100 and that will give you the actual percentage that is going into the grid Which will correspond exactly with the first test That proves that solar could only put in less than 20% Ohm's law got to love it

You make some good videos.

Good one🙂

It doesn't look like that meter has inrush?

Hello is there anyway to contact you directly.

Unrelated but is it possible to use one solar panel to charge 2 delta pros at same time ? Like with some kind of splitter.

It seems likely that the charge controllers in the 2 Delta Pros would fight each other. Each wants to control the solar panel voltage and current to set maximum power points (MPPT), and they likely would want different voltages and currents. It would likely be more successful to charge one from the solar panel, and run the output of that one to the input of the other to charge it. It might be possible to disable the MPPT function in the Delta Pros. That would work if they were connected in parallel to the solar panel. But you would lose the efficiency provided by the MPPT function.

Can you put a link to the panels you use? Thanks
