Best consumption meter for solaredge inverter

[CharlieEscCA]

Mine were 100 amp CT's. I was worried that I needed 200 amp for my 200 amp service (actually CT's are on subpanel which is off a 150 amp fuse), but I called wattNode who explained that the 100 amp CT's is fine for 200 amp 240 volt service as each leg is going to (roughly 100 amps) and it actually is ok up to about 110 to 120 amps if not totally balanced.

When I bought, the seller was selling new (surplus) with the CT's included. A bargain at $27.50. That seller sold a couple of hundred, but he has no listings now.

Charlie, the link from macaddict is the same unit you have installed? Inspron, youll need CTs, I dont think it comes with any.

Curious, many eBay sellers are selling the Modbus device by itself without clamps for around $50, including the Ebay link you provided. Were you able to get it running without the "clamps" for monitoring?

I purchased the eBay unit back in April. It's been installed since my April install. Works great. You do need to run a communications link from the device to the SolarEdge, and then configure the SolarEdge.

Any follow-up on your installation?

It needs to be Wattnode for the communication to work. The units on eBay should work as well as what Solaredge would sell.

I purchased the unit from Ebay and I should get it next week. I'll update this thread once I get it installed.

Is that the only one that works? Or one that works best? I saw some posts to buy them on eBay for ~$25. I saw that SE also sells some more expensive ones.

You need a Wattnode meter, made by CCS, if you want it compatible with the Solaredge portal. I don't have the specific link handy, but will dig it up if needed.

Hi,

i just got a 9Kw system installed including a SolarEdge inverter. I can monitor the energy produced on their monitoring site and in PVOutput but now I'd also love to overlay my consumption.

What at is the word on the street for the best consumption meter that works with both, the solaredge monitoring site and PVOutput?

thanks
