How to connect the electric meter to solar power generation
Wiring diagram of a typical residential solar metering installation. This type of metering is for a buy all sell all metering agreement between the customer and the utility. Many people are unaware that the utility has different rate structures for different solar power installations.

Connecting a solar energy meter entails understanding its components, installation process, and overall integration with solar power systems. 1. Identify the right type of solar energy meter suited for your installation, considering both residential and commercial options.
Installing and Connecting the Meter Mount the meter either directly on a flat surface, or on a DIN rail using the DIN-rail clips supplied with the meter. To mount the meter directly on a surface: 1. Carefully remove the terminal blocks on both sides of the meter. 2. Use the two mounting holes on both sides of the meter to mark the hole .
There are two basic approaches to connecting a grid-tied solar panel system, as shown in the wiring diagrams below. The most common is a "LOAD SIDE" connection, made AFTER the main breaker. The alternative is a "LINE OR SUPPLY-SIDE" connection made BEFORE the main breaker.
When you install a solar energy system, you gain a few additional components on the side of your home or business. The Inverter, the AC Disconnect, the Production Meter, the Service Panel and the Bi-Directional meter all work together on your new system. Below are some commonly asked questions on how they work:
