Solutions

Real problems.
Precise answers.

ClaroWatt exists because US residential solar has a specific, stubborn problem — and nobody was solving it correctly. Here's what we fix and how.

The Problem

Your inverter can't
see your house.

Why most limiters fail in the US

Standard grid-tie inverters ship with a single-phase limiter meter. US residential service runs split-phase 120/240V — two legs, 180° out of phase. A single-phase meter sees one leg, so it misreads your actual load and either over-exports or throttles unnecessarily.

The ClaroWatt fix

ClaroWatt uses dual CT sensors — one on each phase — to measure the true combined load. Both legs, both directions, one accurate number. Your inverter finally sees your house the way it should.

US Split-Phase Service — What ClaroWatt Sees
Phase A
120V · 800W
Phase B
120V · 640W
Combined
240V · 1,440W
A single-phase meter sees only Phase A — 800W.
ClaroWatt measures both and reports the real 1,440W load.
That difference prevents nuisance throttling and over-export.
1
Power on ClaroWatt

USB-C power. The ClaroWatt Ecosystem Network starts broadcasting immediately. No pairing ritual.

2
Home Assistant discovers it

HA sees ClaroWatt on the network and prompts you to add it. One click. No YAML.

3
All sensors appear as entities

Solar generation, grid import, grid export, both phases, net watts, daily yield — all native HA entities ready for dashboards and automations.

4
Build automations on real power data

Run the EV charger when you're generating excess. Alert when a phase drops. Run the dishwasher at peak solar. The logic is yours.

Integration

Home Assistant,
without the YAML.

ClaroWatt is designed from the ground up for Home Assistant. The ClaroWatt Ecosystem Network means it's always on your local network — no cloud dependency, no subscription, no outage risk.

Common Questions

The questions Sunny
gets asked most.

?Will my plug-in grid-tie inverter work with ClaroWatt?

Yes. ClaroWatt Link Pro speaks the same RS-485 limiter protocol your inverter expects — but with accurate split-phase readings instead of the single-phase guess the OEM unit gives you.

?Do I need an electrician?

For CT clamp installation — no. The current transformers clip around your service conductors without breaking any circuits. If you're comfortable in your panel, you can install this yourself.

?Does this work without internet?

Yes. ClaroWatt runs on the local ClaroWatt Ecosystem Network — no internet connection required. Monitoring, Home Assistant integration, and Sunny all operate on your LAN.

?What's the difference between a limiter and a net meter?

A limiter tells your inverter to throttle output so you don't export to the grid. A net meter tracks what you import and export for billing. ClaroWatt can do both simultaneously.

?My monitoring numbers look wrong. Why?

Almost always a single-phase measurement problem. If your OEM meter only sees one leg of your split-phase service, it reads roughly half your actual load. ClaroWatt's dual CT measurement fixes this.

?Can I move Touch Pro between rooms?

Yes — unplug, move, plug back in. It reconnects to the ClaroWatt Ecosystem Network automatically wherever it lands. The 10.1-inch screen is big enough to make a statement on a wall, light enough to move to a desk or nightstand. No re-pairing, no setup.

?Does ClaroWatt work in an RV, van, or marine setup?

That's actually one of the strongest use cases. Link Pro replaces a rats-nest of wiring between your inverter, battery bank, and display with wireless dongles. Mount Touch Pro on your dash or bring it to bed — your whole power system visible on one 10-inch screen, no wiring between devices.
