    SolarEdgeConnection problems may occur when using inverter firmware 004.019 and 004.020. The problem is being investigated. The use of an external meter to record the inverter power is recommended. See Incompatible inverters

    Incompatible inverters

    The power is recorded via separate power meters or energy meters. Depending on the Manager hardware used, different types of meters can be used for performance recording.

    There are also differences in the number of meters that can be configured as generation meters.

    S0 meters

    S0 meters are electrical energy meters that transmit their meter readings via electrical pulses.

    Meters that deliver pulses in accordance with EN62053-31 can be connected to the SOLARWATT Manager.

    The meters are connected directly, i.e. to the S0 inputs of the SOLARWATT Manager.
