[RE-wrenches] metering an outback system

[Drake Chamberlin]

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.

Thanks,

Drake
