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.
Make sure that you are measuring at the suitable voltage level for a solar panel.
Bi directional electricity meters are capable of measuring electricity that flows to and from the grid.
Measure at higher volts than what your panel is approved for.
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.
If you used 100 kwh of energy but generated 60 of those with your solar system the net meter will show 40.
Some exceptions may apply based on panel type.
Consult your solar panel s documentation for information or contact our technical support desk.

One is a test screen where all lights are on.
Doing this will give you the confidence and assurance that your readings will be accurate.
Bi directional meters have three display screens.
