Open Energy Monitor

OpenEnergyMonitor.org is a project to develop open source hardware and software energy monitoring tools from simple home electricity monitors to more complex solar pv and heatpump performance monitoring, tools that help us work towards sustainable energy in a way that adds up giving us information on where we are now and how we can optimise and change our energy use and generation.

The open source part is about sharing how to develop and make technology, creating an open technology resource for energy monitoring.
