Single Phase Generation Meter - How many do I need?

So my PV install (when eventually finished) will have three separate arrays. Each one going to a distinct consumer unit (House, Workshop, Outbuilding). All these CU are fed from one DNO via SP&N switches.

So...............Do I need a generation meter for each array OR can I connect the generation meter between the SP&N's and the DNO Meter?

Sounds to me like you will need 3 seperate meters, and quite possibly 3 seperate FIT accounts, unless your chosen supplier can deal with one account and 3 readings.

I thought that would be the case. It's not going to be a FiT install so the meters are mainly for self interest :)

If you are not too bothered by the accuracy, you could use current clamps and an appropriate reader/logger.  The ones I use allow 9 clamps to be wirelessly connected.

It will give you a good enough idea about what is happening.
