What is a solar panel meter?

A solar panel meter, also known as a solar meter, is a device that measures the amount of solar energy produced by solar panels. It is typically installed in homes or businesses with solar electric systems. The solar meter records the amount of electricity generated by the solar panels and the amount of electricity that is sent back to the grid.

Why should you use a solar panel meter?

With this innovative device, you can optimize the placement of photovoltaic (PV) panels and calculate the overall energy and efficiency of PV systems. It also helps in verifying window efficiency and performance by calculating the heat generated or reduced by direct sunlight.

What information does a solar meter display?

Some meters can display real-time data, while others record data over a period of time. The information displayed on the meter can include the amount of energy produced by your solar panels, the amount of energy consumed by your home, and the difference between the two.

What is a solar-100 solar panel meter used for?

The SOLAR-100 is not only essential for solar installations but also ideal for use in physics and optical laboratories, agricultural applications, and meteorology. The SOLAR-100 solar panel meter plays a crucial role in solar and PV installation applications:

What are the different types of solar panel meters?

There are two types of solar panel meters: Analogue Meters: Analogue meters are the traditional meters that measure the amount of electricity consumed by a residential customer. They have a spinning disc that measures the electricity flow and display screens that show the meter reading.

How are solar meters classified?

Solar meters can also be classified based on their connection to the grid. Bi-directional meters are used for solar electric systems that are connected to the utility grid. They measure the amount of electricity generated and consumed by the solar panels and the amount of excess power that is sent back to the grid.
