The SolarEdge Energy meter with
Modbus connection
The SolarEdge Energy meter with Modbus connection (also
referred to as “the meter”) enables measuring the power and
energy of the photovoltaic (PV) system.
The meter is used by the inverter for the following applications:
Production metering
Consumption monitoring
Export limitation
Smart Energy on-grid applications
The SolarEdge inverter or the Commercial Gateway reads the
exported/imported power from a meter installed at the grid
connection point or reads the consumption from a meter
installed at the load consumption point.
