What is a smart meter?
A Growatt meter is a bidirectional meter that can help inverter optimizes self-consumption,
records load curves, controls energy flows and limits the amountof energy exporttogrid.
Growatt meter for energy consumption monitoring*
Growatt meter allows system owners to record their energy consumption and display on
Growattfreeportal ShineServer andShinePhoneAPP.Onthisportal,youcanseeboth production
andconsumptiondata, and also the self-consumption rate. Which helpgive a chance to the
system owner to better understand their energy usage.
Note: Only new X series inverter support self-consumption monitoring, function available in 2020 Q4.
Growatt Meter for Export Limitation
The Growatt smart meter offers a simple and economical solution to export limitation,
Growatt solution already meet G100 (UK) and UNE 217001 (Spain).
After installation of Growatt inverter and Growatt smart meter, installer can configure the
system export power in percentage, this setting can be done via ShinePhone APP or via
inverter LCD with button, the set range is 0-100% normal power. Installer need a special
code to be able to do this setting. Please check with Growatt service engineer for details.
How does it work?
When install a meter at the grid-tied point, then inverter always know how much power
export to grid. So when installer set the export limitation power, inverter will always control
the system output power not exceed the limit value.
