Matt,
What do you have as a meter? I do the voltage thing now and as you pointed out it's pretty iffy.
There are two good ones that I know of, one is from Bogart engineering and the other from Victron Energy. If you google both of those, you will see what I mean. Both companies make very good products both require that you install a shunt to measure the DC current coming and going.
Study both, I would recommend, but I have not been following the market for some time. When you decide, shop around on the web as prices can vary and be sure the shunt is included.
When you get this, you will love it. It will keep you informed as the state of your house bank all the time.
