CraftStrom PowerMeter

CraftStrom

The CraftStrom PowerMeter gives you real-time visibility into your home's energy use and helps direct your solar power to appliances, storage, or the grid. This controller and meter measures power across up to three electrical phases, pulling data from your breaker box and integrating with your solar and battery systems. The proprietary communication module creates a dedicated network among CraftStrom products, enabling zero-export operation so you can limit production to what you actually consume. The PowerMeter displays detailed information including watts per phase, total kilowatt-hours, current, voltage, frequency, and power factor on its built-in screen. You can also monitor everything through the app and program your battery using a flexible scheduler for different days of the week. Installation requires mounting clamps to your main breaker lines and connecting to your 2.4 GHz WiFi network — work that should be performed by a qualified electrician familiar with your electrical panel. The device operates from -40°F to +185°F and carries both CE and FCC certification, backed by a 10-year warranty. The CraftStrom PowerMeter pairs well with microinverters and fits naturally into a plug-in solar setup. It's a practical choice for homeowners who want clearer insight into their energy consumption and more control over how their solar system operates day to day.
