TED is the perfect solution for measuring and monitoring any alternative energy installation.  Once set up, one can easily view production, consumption, and net metering.  Plus, installing TED is quick and easy.

Solar/Wind Installation:

Install MTU1 on your main feed from the utility.

Install MTU2 on inverter feeds to your main panel.


In System Settings Wizard > System Layout.


Set MTU1 as "Adjusted Load"

Set MTU2 as "Generation"

Go to the next to last tab "Footprints Settings"  and set your minimum real time KW to whatever your solar system is capable of producing and put a (negative) - sign in front.

So if your solar is pushing up to 5k make your minimum a -5.

This will give you a negative scale on both the realtime dial and the graphing.


Verify that the CT's on the MTU1 are reading positive when you are using power from the grid. Just turn off your solar inverters and make sure that reading is positive. If it's negative, flip both CT's  180degree on the MTU1. 


Once your system is setup this way. MTU2 will always be reporting a negative number. When you look at MTU1, what you will see is the "calculated" load of your house. Meaning that it will take into account what the solar is generating in addition to what your pulling from the utility.

Install MTU1  on your main feed from the utility.

Install MTU2 on inverter feeds to junction box.


In System Settings Wizard > System Layout.


Set MTU1 as "Load"

Set MTU2 as "Generation"

Go to the next to last tab "Footprints Settings"  and set your minimum real time KW to whatever your solar system is capable of producing and put a (negative) - sign in front.

So if your solar is pushing up to 5k make your minimum a -5.

This will give you a negative scale on both the realtime dial and the graphing.
