Installing 16 CTs and Ignoring My Existing Solar Breaker

[davidawolf]

I have a 200A main panel. I have configured all 16 CTs on various loads in the panel. I also have one 50A 240V breaker feeding my solar into the main panel. Since I have an Enphase app that already reports solar production, utility import and export, I didn’t place any CTs on the solar breaker.

Obviously my usage will be greater than the utility import as reported by the Emporia Vue Gen 2 200A CTs. Is there anything I need to do to properly configure the Emporia Vue Gen 2 in my environment?

Thanks.

The Gen 2 Vue is capable of net metering solar generation. The 200A sensors that are included with the device are directional and can measure any energy that is generated in excess of your consumption – as long as the sensors are installed between your utility meter and the solar input to your system. You can check out our Solar Supplemental Guide for more details on how the device needs to be installed to monitor a solar system.
You can also use the 50A sensors that come with the Gen 2 bundle to measure the amount of energy generated by your solar system (this is not required for net metering, though). Once setup, your Gen 2 Vue will show excess net generation as green numbers and green bars on the graphs. Net consumption will display asblue numbers and bars.
