Here's how I wired up inexpensive power meters to my circuit breaker to monitor how much power is used on a regular basis.

Nice job! but could we get the power for the monitors from sources other than the main circuit breaker panel ... like from the plugs on the wall?

From an individual plug? That's gonna be different since many outlets are on the same circuit, and you could check the whole circuit that runs the plug you are curious about. Other than that, I'd recommend something like this which I use for individual plugs: amzn.to/3SebDEG I've used this for a couple years now and it's been awesome.

How do you fit the closure plate on your main panel?....seeing that the new meter panel alongside has 2 wire-tunnel projections placed right over the flange-face?

I actually made a cut out for it with a Dremel

Nice install.....especially since you are "reading" each 120V leg of your city 240V supply. Question: now that you are monitorong the 2 x 120V legs on city power......why didn't you use a duplicate set of 2 meters for the generator? In my view, the "health" of each individual generator 120V leg might be more important to check if it's good....compared to the need to check each 120V leg of city power.....no ?

That's a good point but I figured I'd want to know the total voltage at the generator and I also don't use the generator every day.

You really should move your 100A Breaker to the top of your panel and install a Generator Interlock Kit. That is required as code everywhere I have ever checked, as well as will ensure you don't hurt someone by forgetting to kill you mains when you use this.

I do have a generator interlock kit. It's on the faceplate of the panel cover. You cannot see it when the faceplate is off.
