Re: [RE-wrenches] metering an outback system
Hi Alex, The one meter hook up always seems confusing to me. I'm still confused. Do we have the AC IN at both the bottom left and top right? To me it seems that the AC OUT from the inverter would go to the upper left and the protected loads panel would be fed from the bottom left. I've never used this method, but would like to use it instead of the two meter method.
