A solar system installed at a house or building, which may include solar panels and a solar inverter. When the solar system is installed at the house or building, the power load associated with the solar system might overload an electrical panel. This might force the owner of the house or building to spend thousands of dollars on an electrical panel upgrade. To avoid such an expensive upgrade, a smart load manager (SLM) is disclosed that can communicate with the solar inverter and can control it. The SLM can function as a real-time load shedding device, thereby avoiding the cost of a load center/panel upgrade, while enabling a safe and cost-effective solar system installation.

Embodiments include an EVSE unit having a Level 2 or Level 3 charge handle, a receptacle configured to receive the Level 2 charge handle, and a current overage protection unit. The EVSE unit can include a Level 1 outlet including one or more plug outlets configured to receive one or more corresponding Level 1 plugs. A first power meter associated with the Level 2 charge handle can meter power delivered via the Level 2 charge handle. A second power meter associated with the Level 1 outlet can meter power delivered via the Level 1 outlet. A charging logic and relay section can intelligently allocate power between the Level 2 handle and the Level 1 outlet according to charging rules. The current overage protection unit can ensure compliance with local ordinances and protect internal components of the EVSE unit.

A system for checking metering accuracy of an EVSE unit includes an EVSE unit including a cable and a charge handle. The system includes an electric vehicle including a charging port configured to be coupled to the charge handle. The electric vehicle is configured to be charged by the EVSE unit using the cable and the charge handle. In place of the electric vehicle, an electric vehicle-emulating electric load can be used. The system includes an inline electric meter device having a terminal end and a distal end. The charging port of the electric vehicle is configured to be coupled to the terminal end of the inline electric meter device. The charge handle is configured to be coupled to the distal end of the inline electric meter device. The inline electric meter device may be connected in various configurations. The inline electric meter device includes a display, a microprocessor, test and diagnostic logic, a report generator, a camera, and/or a GPS receiver.

Embodiments of the inventive concept measure the amount of electrical power being consumed in one or more houses or buildings, before the utility meter or meters. These measurements are used by a smart load manager (SLM) apparatus, in addition to information about the maximum capacity of the electrical lines that are being measured, to maximize the number of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) units that can be installed in the one or more buildings, and maximize the amount of power that is available for electric vehicle (EV) charging at any given time.

Ammonia nanosensors, and environmental control system

A portable sensor device incorporates a low-power, nanostructure sensor coupled to a wireless transmitter. The sensor uses a nanostructure conducting channel, such as a nanotube network, that is functionalized to respond to a selected analyte. A measurement circuit connected to the sensor determines a change in the electrical characteristic of the sensor, from which information concerning the present or absence of the analyte may be determined. The portable sensor device may include a portable power source, such as a battery. It may further include a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data to a base station.
