The one meter here that measures which way the power is going.

Feed-in

A balcony solar installation plugs into a socket and sends power back. Every other meter in this family is built to measure a load, and on an array they measure the wrong direction or nothing at all.

This one measures both, and names the balcony installation explicitly as the case.

Outdoors

IP44, weather-protected, with a backlit display. Splashing water from any direction, in a sheltered position. Six of the seven meters in this family are indoor-only or unstated; this is the one that can go where the array is.

The range

0.3 W to 3680 W. The low end is published, which is the figure that decides whether a small export is visible.

The price

A settable kWh rate, with the cost computed live in euros. That turns a measurement into the number people actually want.

What is missing

Any accuracy figure. And what happens to the accumulated reading in a power cut, which on an outdoor meter is not a rare event.

Availability

German, French and Spanish Amazon stores quoted 20 € to 21 € when this page was compiled.

Italian Amazon store wanted more than 1.6× what the cheapest country wanted. A margin that wide usually means stock shipped in from elsewhere rather than a seller on the ground, so that quote stays out of the range above.

American and British Amazon catalogues carry an entry for it, with nobody selling.

These figures are what Keepa reported on the day this page was last updated. Availability and pricing move without notice.

    EAN
    4016139196763
    • It logs and exports, so a week of measurement becomes a file rather than a number on a screen
    • True RMS, which matters on the distorted waveforms electronics and inverters produce
    • No measurement range and no maximum current

    Best for: A week-long measurement that has to end up in a spreadsheet.

    • Eleven modes, more than any other plug meter here
    • The eleven modes are not all listed, so what six of them show is unknown

    Best for: A socket where the worry is overload as much as consumption.
