Hi Todd, Where does one actually buy KV2C meters? We have been looking for the KV2C meters to use with the Modbus option, and nobody seems to be able to supply them. Thanks, -James Jarvis APRS World, LLC On 8/20/2012 8:37 PM, [mailto:toddc...@finestplanet.com] toddc...@finestplanet.com wrote: you will need two kv2c 'green tag' meters... one for each 120 volt leg. todd On Monday, August 20, 2012 9:15am, "Hilton Dier III" [mailto:hiltond...@gmail.com] <hiltond...@gmail.com> said: Hello Wrenches, Here's a metering conundrum for you. I have a client with a dual stacked Outback 3648 inverter panel and a PV array. He has been off-grid for years, but he is now going on-grid. He is getting the Outbacks rebuilt at the factory to be grid tie compatible. As per our local requirements, he needs a meter to read just the output of the inverter. The problem is that he has the whole house on the inverters, not just a vital loads panel. He wants to keep it that way. That gives him two separate outputs, "AC Out" to the main breaker panel and "AC In(teractive)" to the grid connection. If he just puts a meter on the AC In line, he will lose track of the inverter output that goes to power the house, and he'll get his output reduced by any grid-based charging he does. There is a "green tag" method of wiring the meter to avoid this, but it is designed for two single-leg 120VAC outputs and the stacked Outbacks are putting out 240VAC on two legs. Aside from dropping $600 on an e-Gauge, is there any way to get around this? Many thanks, Hilton -- Hilton Dier III Renewable Energy Design Partner, Solar Gain LLC 453 East Hill Rd.
