It is always better to give all the parameters when asking a question. Almost no one has zero parasitic loads. If the OP had clarified that, then the answers would be more relevant.

I don't use an amp-hour counter but do use a watt meter that can track consumption. I hardly look at it.

Sorry if I did not make my question complex enough. "...how much electricity it is generating as well as how much I am using. Any low cost options?"

I have been around long enough to know that if one opens up the door, the answers will vary from, should have got a diesel to you need 2,000 watts minimum. Keeping is simple.
