So I just got my town approval yesterday on a 10.85 kW PV system (with 10 kW Solaredge inverter) in Northern New Jersey (Bergen County to be more specific). Waiting on my POCO approval (PSEG) which can take up to 5 weeks from when they get the approved Uniform Construction Code from my installer. I'm testing my system out and I had some questions around monitoring the system and getting as much data as possible. I'm an actuary so I generally like as much useful data as possible and am trying to figure out the best ways to do that.
I've set up my system on PVOutput using the API from Solaredge that I got from my installer. All seems operational on that end. What settings are generally recommended for Solaredge systems? It looks like I currently have my poll interval set to 15 minutes. Also, is there any way to monitor consumption? I'm kind of curious around my daily consumption patterns but have no idea how to accurately monitor it short of looking at my utility meter. Is there any additional equipment I would have to buy or can it be done with my utility meter? I currently have an old analog meter though I believe the POCO will replace it once they formally provide final approval for my system.
