In order to participate in net metering you will only need to add one additional piece of equipment to a standard grid tied solar panel system a bi directional meter.
Good voltage meter for solar panel.
Bi directional electricity meters are capable of measuring electricity that flows to and from the grid.
One is a test screen where all lights are on.
Measure at higher volts than what your panel is approved for.
Doing this will give you the confidence and assurance that your readings will be accurate.
Open circuit voltage can vary depending on your solar panel but the readings we are usually looking for are in the range of 15 to 23v.
The second shows power coming in from the grid and the third shows power going out from your solar into the grid.
If you used 100 kwh of energy but generated 60 of those with your solar system the net meter will show 40.
Consult your solar panel s documentation for information or contact our technical support desk.
Simply touch the solar panel leads with the multi meter probes matching their corresponding polarity red to red black to black.
Bi directional meters have three display screens.
Some exceptions may apply based on panel type.
