Sense Energy Monitor

Note: Renewable Innovations does not sell Sense Energy Monitors directly. We provide energy audits, electrification consulting, and solar+storage system planning, and we frequently recommend the Sense Monitor to clients who want to gain control of their consumption before sizing storage or solar. Sense is a powerful diagnostic tool we often include in our energy efficiency starter packages.
 
Sense Energy Monitor – Real-Time Energy Intelligence for a Smarter, More Efficient Home
 
The Sense Energy Monitor is a compact, intelligent home energy monitoring system that gives homeowners unparalleled visibility into their electricity usage. By analyzing the energy flowing through your home’s electrical panel in real time, Sense provides minute-by-minute data, appliance detection, and solar production monitoring(when equipped with the solar version)—allowing users to track trends, reduce waste, and make smarter energy decisions.
 
Installed directly into your main breaker panel by a licensed electrician, Sense uses high-precision current sensors and machine learning to identify patterns and detect individual appliances as they turn on or off. Whether it’s your refrigerator compressor, garage door, EV charger, or microwave, Sense helps you understand exactly what’s using energy—and when.
 
For solar-powered homes, the Sense Solar edition adds two additional sensors that track real-time solar generation and net energy usage—perfect for those who want to compare what they’re producing vs. consuming in one sleek, intuitive app. This makes it ideal for homeowners with net metering or time-of-use rates, giving you the data you need to shift loads, time your consumption, or evaluate battery storage options.
 
The Sense app (iOS, Android, and web) provides live usage graphs, historical reports, goal tracking, smart alerts, and integrations with platforms like Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT. It also includes optional device naming, labeling, and notifications—so you’re always informed about your home's energy health.
