Right now i have my stuff setup and working. I am working with my POCO for an interconnect in which i believe i only need a bidirectional meter. It seems like this is what they are demanding:
Two meters, a production meter and a utility/billing meter. It seems to me that this is redundant with my setup, as I'm trying to have backup when the grid goes down (at least while there's sun) but this setup seems a bit....redundant? as the DER meter they require is literally going to be pulling the same data as a bidirectional meter. Is there a different way they want me to install it?
Here is a pdf of their requirements but if you look at the connection pages it seems like they are assuming im doing full back feed through the breaker box (i am not) but all their communication states that i need to have 2 meters and a disconnect between the two.
This is about $600 in wire (2/0 copper isn't cheap) and another $500 in equipment just to get this correct compared to what i have currently.
Pic is what i assume they need.
