Connecting the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter
Connecting a KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter allows generation values and consumption values to be recorded or the output power of the inverter into the public grid to be controlled. In addition, the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter can send data to the KOSTAL Solar Portal. To do this, the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter must be set up in addition to the PIKO CI in the same system in the KOSTAL Solar Portal.
The energy meter is installed in the meter cabinet or in the main distribution board. Please also refer to the operating documentation of the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter.
