Can I use a Plug S to measure solar pannel production

zarzash

Hi there,

I know that one can measure the production of a solar panel with a Shelly EM.

But as my one solar panel is plugged to a socket of the wall, I wanted to check if one could also use a Shelly Plug S to measure its production.

Logically it should work and the measured value would be negative, but will this be OK for the Plug S or risk to damage it?

Many thanks for your input

Hi, if the produtction isn't higher than the 2500W it should'd be problem but i don't now if Plug S can measure negative values. I have an Shelly EM to measure the solar production and the total comsumption.

I had a Shelly EM too but it died after 3 days. I would like to use the Plug S while the replacement arrives. But yes I would only produce max 270W.

Bad luck! Mine EM it's 3 years old and no problem! Try the Plug S.

I don't own a Plug S but if it works the same way as 1PM then the solar production will NOT show as nevative value. My 600W solar system only shows positive values. Unfortunately there is no option in the app to declare a device as power production instead of consumer.
