All photovoltaic systems have a kilowatt-hour meter that shows how much the system is producing at that moment and also totals the kilowatts over the lifetime of the system. The owner can easily find out how much they have generated daily/monthly/annually and can monitor their system’s performance. In addition, Micro-inverter systems provide monitoring that allows the owner to see the performance in real time and historically for every panel in the system.
