Hey everyone! I hope this isn't a silly question, but I've recently moved into a house that has a Solis inverter. I found out that by connecting it to my meter with a current transformer (CT), I can check both the import and export data. However, my inverter is located on the opposite side of the house from the meter box, so I'm looking for a hassle-free solution. Are there any Bluetooth or WiFi-enabled CT clamps that I could use to send data to a device that connects to my Solis inverter?

I've heard of Shelly EM as a potential solution, but make sure your Solis inverter can handle it for export limitations. If you're just after monitoring import/export data, then a Shelly device should work well for you! But double-check compatibility before committing.
Yes, wireless CT clamps are definitely available! You can even make some budget-friendly options if you're into DIY. Just keep in mind that compatibility with your Solis inverter is key. The wifi feature can introduce some delay in the data, and not all inverters handle that well. So, it’s worth doing a bit of research on what works with your specific model.
