Inverter accessories: selection and advice
An inverter rarely works alone. Meters, communication modules and connection parts complete it into a working system.
Buy accessories that match the brand and series of your inverter, because many components are manufacturer-specific. The type designation of the device is the best search aid.
You will find energy meters, smart meters and monitoring modules from Hoymiles, SolarEdge, Sungrow, Anker, Huawei and Kostal, among others.
With accessories, the details decide: a meter must match the grid type, a communication module the device generation. Therefore note the type and year of manufacture of your inverter before you order, and give us this information if you are unsure whether a part is compatible.
With meters and smart meters, the measuring method also matters. Models with current transformers measure contactlessly, others directly; whether measurement is single-phase or three-phase must match your grid connection. The product pages give the details.
