Chapter 2: Connecting the Energy Meter
For Smart Energy Management applications, such as export limitation and maximizing
self-consumption, the StorEdge solution requires an Energy Meter.
To install the Energy Meter, refer to the installation guide supplied with it:
http://www.solaredge.com/files/pdfs/solaredge-meter-installation-
guide.pdf.
For communication, the Energy Meter and the StorEdge Interface use the same RS485-1
port on the inverter's communication board.
Use a 3-wire shielded twisted pair cable, 0.2 (0.2-1) mm² 600V or CAT5.
To connect the Energy Meter to the inverter
1. Connect one end of the communication cable to the Energy Meter, as explained in
the Energy Meter's installation guide.
2. Open one of the inverter's communication glands and insert the other end of the
communication cable through the gland.
3. Make sure the RS485-1 DIP switch (the left switch) is OFF.
4. Make sure the Energy Meter's DIP switch 2 is ON.
5. Proceed with connection only after installing the StorEdge Interface, as explained in
"Connecting the StorEdge Interface to the Inverter" on page 14.
