July 30, 20224 yr Hi All Hoping someone can help... I currently have an Amp meter (as per the picture below) installed on my DB Board with my inverter in the garage. The idea was that at any point I can see what the house is drawing from the inverter. This has worked very well and now you have versions with Watts displayed too. I have since upgraded to a Sunsynk and want replace the meter with one which shows when the inverter is feeding back to house. Currently this meter shows the amperage but I never know the direction. Thanks in advanced

Thanks in advanced Unfortunately meters that show the direction are quite scarce and expensive. Perhaps some of the turning meters available might reverse but then you don't know the actual value. The only one I know of is the Eastron Smart X835. You can find a review of it on YouTube. A great meter for 1/3 phase. Edited July 30, 20224 yr by Scorp007

And it has modbus output so you can bring the data into your graphing software as well. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/EASTRON-SDM230Modbus-Single-Phase-RS485-Modbus_1600505360974.html?spm=a2700.shop_plgr.41413.12.4bc35f52lhKZNm
July 30, 20224 yr Author @Scorp007 & @WannabeSolarSparky - Thank you both so much. Going to look at them now and check it out on YouTube. Then to find if anyone stocks them in SA before brining one in
July 30, 20224 yr This got me thinking - for a change. The prepaid meters that record export without tripping do they not show the active export without having them activated via a ISP. Edited July 30, 20224 yr by Scorp007
