There's plenty of full-blown solutions by the people building power
distribution for data centers (ie. APC), but it sounds like you'd be
more interested in something like
http://www.weatherduck.us/
or
http://www.itwatchdogs.com/
Who both have inductive current measurement devices over a 1-wire
serial bus. Although the current module is going to be 20A max, which
means you'd measure each leg coming off your panel, rather than the
whole panel in your house.
