KOSTAL Energy Meters: a brief overview

The KOSTAL Energy Meters are cost-effective and come with a wide range of functions, enabling them to cover a wide range of applications for your own solar system: 24-hour home consumption measurement, dynamic active power control and the operation of a connected battery storage unit.

And for battery storage, the KOSTAL Energy Meters are instantly ready for use with the PLENTICORE inverter series, as both KOSTAL Energy Meters are pre-configured as standard. This means a direct connection is possible without any further settings.

The meters are easy to operate in a few simple steps: the central LCD shows the most important information at a glance. All important controls are positioned on the front for easy access.

KOSTAL Energy Meter with important basic functions

For systems with up to 20 kVA inverter output for PV systems or in combination with a connected battery as a hybrid inverter, the KOSTAL Energy Meters are the quick and easy alternative.

The KOSTAL Energy Meters also provide optimum visualisation of self-consumption and self-sufficiency in the KOSTAL Solar Portal and in the KOSTAL Solar App. The measurement data is transmitted to the inverters. The 3-phase energy measurement via the pre-configured Modbus RTU standard interfaces (RS485) takes place in real time.

The KOSTAL Energy Meters can be combined with all inverters of the PLENTICORE series from KOSTAL
