If a standard generation meter (measuring only outbound energy from the array) were used, grid energy discharged from the battery to the home would not be counted. However, a simple export meter (measuring only outbound energy from the property) could \u003cstrong\u003ecount grid-charged battery discharge as solar export\u003c\/strong\u003e, inflating the export figure and creating false SEG payment claims. The NET meter solves this: it measures both what leaves the property (export) and what enters from the grid (import), and deducts import from export to produce a NET figure — the genuine solar energy that left the building, uncontaminated by any grid-charged battery round-trip. Ofgem's SEG co-location guidance (v6.1) mandates this approach for co-located storage under the Smart Export Guarantee.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #c8e6e3;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#fff;\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the EMP1-AZNET and the EMP1-AZ?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eBoth the EMP1-AZ and the EMP1-AZNET are three-phase bi-directional meters on the Emlite EMP1 platform, with identical hardware, accuracy class, and physical specifications. The difference is in \u003cstrong\u003econfiguration and intended application\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003eEMP1-AZ\u003c\/strong\u003e is the standard bi-directional variant where all registers (Import, Export, NET) are available but the meter is not specifically configured for NET-primary display — suitable for general three-phase generation metering and monitoring. The \u003cstrong\u003eEMP1-AZNET\u003c\/strong\u003e is factory-configured with the \u003cstrong\u003eNET register as the primary compliance reading\u003c\/strong\u003e and is supplied specifically for battery co-location compliance under MCS and SEG v6.1. If your installation includes battery storage and the DNO or MCS submission explicitly requires a NET meter, specify the EMP1-AZNET. If the application is a PV-only three-phase system without storage, the EMP1-AZ is the appropriate choice.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #c8e6e3;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#f0faf9;\"\u003eCan I use this meter to replace an existing generation meter when retrofitting battery storage?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eYes — the EMP1-AZNET is specifically recommended for \u003cstrong\u003ebattery storage retrofits on existing three-phase solar PV installations\u003c\/strong\u003e. When battery storage is added to an existing PV system that already has a standard (non-bi-directional) generation meter, the generation meter must be replaced with a NET meter to comply with the updated MCS and SEG co-location requirements. The EMP1-AZNET can be installed in place of the existing generation meter — same DIN43857 terminal layout and same installation footprint as the standard EMP1 meters means the swap is straightforward. The MCS installer will need to update the MCS certificate to reflect the new meter serial number.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #c8e6e3;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#fff;\"\u003eWhat reading do I give my energy supplier for SEG payments?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eFor systems with battery storage under the Smart Export Guarantee, you should provide the \u003cstrong\u003eNET register reading\u003c\/strong\u003e to your energy supplier — not the Import or Export registers. The NET figure (Export minus Import, as accumulated over the period since the last reading) represents the genuine net amount of energy your property exported to the grid over the billing period. Some energy suppliers read the meter remotely via smart meter infrastructure; others require you to submit meter readings. When submitting, clearly identify it as the \"NET\" register reading from the generation meter — not the house import meter — to avoid confusion. Check your specific SEG tariff agreement for the reading submission process.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #c8e6e3;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#f0faf9;\"\u003eIs this meter suitable for large commercial three-phase solar installations?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eYes — the EMP1-AZNET is suitable for \u003cstrong\u003ethree-phase commercial solar PV and battery storage installations\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 100A per phase. At 3×230V, this covers combined installations up to approximately 69kW, encompassing the majority of commercial rooftop solar plus storage systems requiring a direct-connect NET meter. For very large commercial systems where per-phase currents exceed 100A, a CT-metered solution with appropriate current transformers would be required. The MID Class B approval applies to all commercial billing and official reporting contexts, and the meter is compatible with commercial energy management systems via the opto-isolated pulse output and optical port.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#fff;\"\u003eCan the pulse output be connected to my inverter monitoring platform?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eYes — the \u003cstrong\u003e1000 pulse\/kWh opto-isolated output\u003c\/strong\u003e (IEC 62053-31 Class A) connects to energy management systems, BMS, AMR data loggers, and inverter monitoring platforms that accept an S0 or open-collector pulse input. Most commercial three-phase inverter monitoring platforms (Solis, GivEnergy, SolarEdge, Huawei, Fox ESS, etc.) accept a pulse input for independent generation or NET export verification. The output polarity must be observed — consult your monitoring platform's wiring diagram for the correct terminal orientation. The optical port (IEC 629056-21) provides a secondary communications route for electronic meter reading without requiring a pulse input on the monitoring device.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emlite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64181175583069,"sku":"EMP1-AZNET","price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/2051\/3629\/files\/EmLiteEMP1ThreePhaseSolarPVImportExportMeter.webp?v=1760365398","url":"https:\/\/qualityheating.co.uk\/products\/emlite-emp1-aznet-emp1-av-net-3-phase-bi-directional-generation-meter-100a-1000-pulse-kwh","provider":"AIZO Quality Heating","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
