Do I need a generation meter with my GivEnergy system?

Your GivEnergy system comes with monitoring, but in some cases you may still need a separate generation meter.

  • The ID1/EM115 meters in your system are used for monitoring import/export.

  • They are not certified generation meters for certain schemes (like FiT or MCS).

  • For billing or compliance, an external EMlite generation meter may be required.

Tip:

Always check with your installer, MCS, or your DNO about generation meter requirements.

When to Contact Support:

If you’re unsure whether you need an additional meter for compliance.
