Hi Alex,<br><br>
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. <br><br>
I've never used this method, but would like to use it instead of the two
meter method.<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>

here in Washington State, we use both sides in a 12s 120volt meterbase
with fifth jaw. <b> top right inverter ac in</b>, bottom right ac from
grid. top left from battery back up, <b>bottom left from inverter
ac in</b>, fifth jaw neutral.<br><br>
this set up allows grid tied selling and battery saved energy selling to
be metered while subtracting energy used to charge batteries and
subtracting any power needed to run the inverter.<br><br>
hope this helps.<br><br>
contact me off list if you need the diagram (in office)<br><br>
