the procedures.
The GT Inverter can be connected to a single bi-directional meter, or to dual
meters, where one meter indicates power used and the second meter indicates
power sold (power supplied back to the utility). Consult the local utility to
determine the proper components to install, and obtain any permits required prior
to installation.
Ensure all connections are correctly wired and properly torqued to a maximum
16 in-lb (1.8 Nm).

carrying conductor. This conductor is not bonded to ground in the inverter.
