Choose a representative window
Record occupancy, A/C settings, pump schedules and unusual events alongside readings. An empty-house week does not represent a full rental week.

Energy monitoring in Cabo: find the overnight load
Use a measured load profile to investigate overnight consumption and compare solar options. Start with a specific question before buying a monitor.
Mirasol guide · Updated
In this guide
Start with one question the bill cannot answer
A bill shows energy over a period. It does not identify which circuit runs overnight or whether a pool pump overlaps with solar hours. Decide whether you need whole-property timing, circuit detail or both.
Leave panel installation to a qualified electrician
Confirm phases, voltage, sensor compatibility and safe installation. This guide is not an instruction to open an energized electrical panel.
Turn a base load into monthly energy
Illustrative constant loads, not measured Cabo results. Multiplying kW by operating hours shows why a modest continuous load can matter. Real devices cycle, so use logged energy when available.
| Average load | Per day | In 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| 0.8 kW | 0.8 × 24 = 19.2 kWh | 576 kWh |
| 0.3 kW | 0.3 × 24 = 7.2 kWh | 216 kWh |
| Difference | 12 kWh | 360 kWh |
Use the result to make a decision
Find the cause before assigning savings. A pump schedule, equipment fault and occupied bedroom need different responses. After a change, compare similar weather and occupancy, then use the revised demand when sizing solar.
Protect access to the data
Confirm who owns the monitoring account, who can view readings, data retention and what happens if internet access fails.
Monitoring is not automatic control
Switching a pump or A/C requires separate compatible controls and electrical review. A monitor alone does not make load switching safe.

FAQ
What to clarify before quoting.
Will a monitor lower my CFE bill?
It supplies evidence. Savings require an effective change in equipment or operation, verified against a comparable baseline.
Can monitoring tell me whether I need a battery?
It helps quantify evening demand. Battery selection also needs backup priorities, usable capacity, inverter power and cost.
Do you guarantee a particular monitor or payback?
No. Compatibility, installation scope and measured opportunities require an individual assessment before recommending equipment.
