Electricity Meter Installation
The StorEdge solution requires connecting a meter for Smart Energy Management applications, such as
maximizing self-consumption.
For backup power only, installing a meter is not required
.
To install the SolarEdge meter, refer to to the installation guide supplied with it:
http://www.solaredge.com/files/pdfs/solaredge-meter-installation-guide.pdf
.
The meter is connected to the inverter using RS485.
RS485 wiring specifications:
l
Cable type: Min. 3-wire shielded twisted pair (a 4-wire cable may be used)
l
Wire cross-section area: 0.2-1 mm²/ 24-18 AWG (a CAT5 cable may be used)
NOTE
The inverter RS485 bus should be connected to the battery and meter. Connecting
multiple inverters with RS485 master-slave connection requires an RS485
Expansion Kit (available form SolarEdge Refer to

).
