Solo II PV – for Solar Panel microgeneration

If you have pv solar panels, say on the roof, this Device is an excellent choice to check the output. This instructions for setting it up are poor but the web site helped me to finish the job of setting the parameters. You get an instant read out of the Kw's being generated so you can switch on appliances accordingly and run them for free. In my case the solar meter is in the garage so the radio wave transmission is limiting the distance I can place the device. I have very thick walls of around 3 feet. This device seems to be the best one available. Before fitting this I had a camera on the inverter panel read out in the loft, this is better because I needed a loft lighting system and I now have kW output for each day + other information.

Quick and easy to set up, gives a bright clear reading with plenty of information. Only drawbacks are the lack of battery backup and the velcro on the sensor could give a better grip. I had an earlier version for ten years that was starting to play up. That had battery backup, but less features that this one, so it's swings and roundabouts...Very useful to have, as yesterday my inverter stopped outputting to the grid and I noticed it fairly quickly. Due to the location of the meter I wouldn't have realised for weeks otherwise.

A good accurate product. If you have a generation or consumption meter that has a LED flashing light, then you must use the PV version. If you have solar panels, the non-PV versions with the clamp do not work, even though GEO say they do!We have solar panels and I had the non-PV version which did not function correctly even though the advert stated it would. Fortunately GEO swapped it over for me and I’m now running one meter on supply, ie the cost, and the other on the generation.All works well and I’m happy except the supplied Velcro is too weak; you’ll need to secure the sensors with gaffer tape.Well worth 5*

We have had solar panels now for about ten years. In the passed 6 months the panels stopped working therefore we were not generating any electric. It wasn't until the second time it stopped working when we had to have a new invertor fitted that the guy we bought it from told us about this product. Now we KNOW that our system is working, and if it stopped. As it can cost you a lot of lost revenue when the system isn't working. I would advise anyone with solar panels to purchase this device

Easy to install and set up. Bright display. The Energynote website that holds your historical data is no longer active and GEO have no plans to replace it with any other system. Your device, your data but you can't access it because it is encrypted. Very unhelpful if you want to keep historical records.

Just outside of Amazon return period and only 4 months into ownership and it keeps dropping connection, of course I renewed the batteries, however GEO support accuse me of putting OLD batteries in it ???? How would they know if I did which I didn't, crazy ? They stated it could be a faulty transmitter yet will do NOTHING about it. Basically tough luck you've bought a DUD, Ha Ha. Stay way from these crooks. I now have a £75 piece of plastic.

This device provides a real-time indication of the power being generated from a solar panel installation, by detecting the ‘flash rate’ of the LED on the PV charge meter. The sensor communicates that information wirelessly to the receiver/display unit. Works well but the wireless signal strength is modest so locating the receiver/display unit may need some experimentation and may not end up in your preferred place in the house. Also note: the receiver/display needs a mains socket close by for its power whereas the sensor is battery operated.

When you open the box, there is a nice little note to say that you can register for an online account that you can use to monitor the history of your solar energy generation. This is outdated and must be ignored. The online possibility was dropped many months ago but Amazon still have some of the older stock that still has the note in the box.However, the piece of kit is good and delivers a clear and simple to understand message. If you want to track more than a month's worth of generation data, you have to do it manually.
