[QUOTE="SolarChris, post: 535653, member: 35786"] I understand it is normal to include a meter separate to an inverter in a new solar panel system but with modern inverters providing metering information how useful is it? If I understand it correctly when using a inverter with backup AC, would you not need two meters as any PV power used by the circuits connected to the AC backup would not be being measured. Also can a bypass switch be installed to power the critical load in case the inverter fails or needs to be removed. I've not seen any 'switch over' power switches! I've attached a schematic of what I propose the electrician to fit. Any thoughts very gratefully received. [/QUOTE]
