Energy Meter with Modbus Connection


The energy meter is used for production, consumption or import/export monitoring, and for export limitation. The meter has high accuracy readings, and by a wide selection of current transformers (50A – 1000A)* supports residential and commercial installations.
The meter connects to the SolarEdge inverter or commercial gateway via RS485 Plug-in.
For installation and configuration instructions, refer to the export limitation application note.

Current Transformers for SolarEdge Energy Meters with Modbus Connection

Current transformers (CTs) provide a simple, inexpensive, and accurate means of measuring current flow in SolarEdge energy meters with Modbus connection. When ordering an energy meter, order a compatible current transformer as well.

Commercial Gateway

The commercial gateway is an all-in-one communication gateway, expanding the SolarEdge system’s monitoring and control capabilities. It connects to SolarEdge inverters, environmental sensors, and meters, and transfers monitoring data to the SolarEdge monitoring platform and optionally, to a third-party data logger.
The commercial gateway also has a power reduction interface that can control the SolarEdge inverters’ power.

Environmental Sensors

Environmental sensors are used to monitor a site’s irradiance, temperature, and wind velocity, and to calculate site performance ratio (PR). The sensors connect to the commercial gateway and the measurements are displayed in the monitoring platform. Up to three sensors can be connected to a single commercial gateway.
Additional sensors can be installed using multiple gateways.
