Smart meters and current transformers are essential components of energy monitoring and control solutions for solar power systems. These devices accurately measure consumption, production and grid feed-in, providing real-time data on system performance. Smart meters can be used to optimize self-consumption, control energy storage and monitor inverter performance – all of which increase efficiency and system ROI.

Current transformers (CTs) convert the amount of electrical current into a signal for measurement and control, while providing protection against overload. The category includes Modbus communication meters, single- and three-phase models, as well as models that support wireless data transmission. Smart meters and current transformers are compatible with most hybrid inverters and energy management systems, thus playing a key role in the operation of intelligent, automated energy systems.
