Solax M1-40 Single Phase CT Energy Meter
SolaX CT energy meter — Plug-and-play CT metering that sorts out its own phase sequence and CT direction.
Every SolaX hybrid needs a meter at the origin of the supply before it can do anything intelligent with import, export or self-consumption. These are SolaX's own CT meters for that job.
About the SolaX CT energy meter
The feature that saves time on site is the intelligent phase sequence and CT direction adjustment. A CT fitted backwards or a phase out of order normally means going back into the board; these meters resolve it themselves.
The refresh rate is 50 ms, which is what makes export limiting and fast load-following credible rather than approximate, and settings can be changed remotely through the SolaX Cloud app.
Strong and weak currents are separated inside the meter for safety, and both versions come with a 5 m communication cable to the inverter and 2 m CT leads.
What does this fit?
This is the meter a SolaX hybrid reads the property from.
Match the meter to the inverter's phase: the M1-40 is for the single-phase hybrid range and the M3-40 for the three-phase range. Both are plug-and-play CT meters with a 5 m communication cable.

What the job needs
The details that decide whether this suits the system:
- Match the meter to the inverter: M1-40 for single phase, M3-40 for three phase.
- M1-40: 1 CT, 18 × 100 × 65.5 mm.
- M3-40: 3 CTs at a 100 A / 40 mA ratio, 4-pin terminal block, 45 × 100 × 65.5 mm.
- CT leads are 2 m and the communication cable to the inverter is 5 m on both. Where that will not reach, the SolaX wireless bridge carries the link up to 300 m.
- 50 ms refresh rate. Intelligent phase sequence and CT direction adjustment. Remote settings through the SolaX Cloud app.
- IP20 — these go inside a board or enclosure.
Where this earns its place
The meter is chosen by the phase of the inverter.
SolaX M1-40 technical data
Questions we get asked about this inverter
Which meter do I need?
The M1-40 for a single-phase SolaX hybrid, the M3-40 for a three-phase one.
What if a CT goes on backwards?
The meter adjusts for CT direction and phase sequence itself, so it does not mean a return visit.
How long are the cables?
2 m CT leads and a 5 m communication cable to the inverter.
What if the run is longer than 5 m?
The SolaX wireless bridge carries the link up to 300 m and works with both single and three-phase meters.
