Anyway the hardware is pretty neat. It senses and processes and updates quick enough that it can detect those big inductive kicks when a stopped motor starts or a big filter cap charges up. Thing'll draw kilowatts for a split second and then settle down to double or triple digit watts, and this sensor can notice it.
That's good, that's relevant, because when you're shopping for solar panels, physics is all "You wanna run a fridge? Eh, couple hundred bucks, NBD. Oh, you wanna START a fridge? Five grand, hand it over."
I've posted before and I still maintain that fridges should have kick-starters
