“The circuit-by-circuit detail has proven to be an extremely useful tool – even for us, a family that has been monitoring our whole-house electricity consumption for a while now.”...
Take control of your energy bills, your family’s safety, and our planet’s future with the revolutionary eMonitor which measures, analyzes, and enables you to control energy usage by individual circuits and appliances.
The only way to control your energy use is to know exactly where it’s going; the eMonitor shows you how much power each appliance is using and how much money each costs to operate – in real-time & over time
Ongoing analysis of your actual energy consumption generates specific recommendations to help you reduce usage and save money
Receive alerts by text or e-mail if appliances are left on, if circuits are nearing their capacity, if there is danger of electrical fire, or if home medical equipment is off
Continuous diagnostics help you avoid thousands of dollars in wasted energy and costly repairs by notifying you of hidden problems with your refrigerator, dryer, air conditioner, and other systems – including solar PV

I am not a big believer in things that sound too good to be true. But, in the world of energy efficiency and renewable energy, there has been a program that comes as close as anything to a free lunch.
The program is called PACE – or Property Assessed Clean Energy. For those not familiar with it, the idea is that a local community uses a bond issue to fund energy efficiency and renewable energy in the form of loans to homeowners that are paid back through property tax assessments, typically over 20 years. The beauty of this is that, if designed properly, the homeowner’s energy savings more than cover the cost of the assessment – making it free for them. The community gets the money back to repay the bond – resulting in a free lunch all around. This can be an extremely effective way to spur energy savings, not to mention create local jobs.
