Good news about the wattmeter being usable as monitor
I was wondering if this could be done as such a project is always in my head (to lower as much as possible my constant consumption).
Generally PV panels are loosing around 1% per year. Mine are guaranteed at 80% for 25 years. The fact their outputs are closed is also a good news as this will insure as much power as possible. As their rating is at a normalized condition, they can produce more, but I have no idea about Michigan.
Now you have a few months to build another rack optimized for summer
