Eastron SDM230M Single-Phase Energy Meter — RS485 Modbus, Deye and Solis Compatible
A hybrid inverter without a meter works blind: it does not know how much the house is drawing, so it cannot tell how much energy to keep and how much to export. A bidirectional meter is what makes real self-consumption possible, and on new installations it is also what keeps export within the limit.
The SDM230 connects directly on the line up to 100 A, with no current transformers: two wires in, two out, and the meter is done. Class 1 on active energy, reading up to 999,999.9 kWh, RS485 Modbus RTU with addresses 1 to 247 and up to 64 devices on one bus, which can run 1,000 metres.
