For a three phase PV Inverter, use a three phase meter as well. For a single phase utility connection, use a single phase meter. And in an installation with a single phase utility connection, that also has a PV Inverter that needs measuring with a Victron meter, then you can use 2 pieces of ET112; or use the ET340. |

+ | |||
+ | The Ethernet model will have an advantage in installations where an Ethernet network is available. Rather than having to pull an RS485 wire between the main AC distribution board and the storage system, the existing Ethernet can be used. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The disadvantage is that this relies on that network functioning properly - in case of issues the Storage system will switch to idle mode: passthrough. | ||

+ | === Q11: Can I use Victron energy meters instead of a Victron Inverter/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Energy meters are intended only to supplement a Victron inverter charger in the system. | ||
+ | Energy Meters are currently limited in their potential applications. Each energy meter is only intended to provide a specific piece of additional information - total loads on AC input and grid import/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | They cannot be used for other purposes e.g. to measure specific, arbitrary AC loads or circuits for example. | ||
+ | They should also not be considered a replacement to having a Victron inverter / charger. Attempting to use other brand battery inverters and trying to substitute their lack of data connectivity to the GX device by using energy meters will not work. | ||
