This could be used with open energy's library. Hookup should be identical to using a CT and change the calibration value to suit 30A sensor instead of 100A

Hmmm, wonder if there is a clamp on version that does 100A +-. I had thought about keeping generated current going to the grid only until it reaches parity, then charging the battery with the excess. One place I am working has a meter that will not reverse so if you pump power to the grid it still counts it as consumed energy and the customer gets charged......Trying to find a way around it.
