SunSpec model 204 is the SunSpec information model for a delta-connected three-phase (ABC, 3-wire) meter, carried over Modbus registers. The SunSpec meter map covers single-phase, split-phase, wye and delta meters in one layout, and the C_SunSpec_DID register says which one is present. A value of 204 means delta. Registers that a given meter type does not use return the unsupported value, so a reading from an unused point should not be taken as a fault. On the Veris E51C series, the meter model ID is in read-only register 40070 and is set by the meter configuration, from 201 to 204. SolarEdge inverters show their meters as SunSpec meter blocks: a common block holds the meter manufacturer, model and serial number, and C_SunSpec_DID follows at addresses such as 40188 (base 0). On SolarEdge three-phase inverters with Synergy technology, add 50 to the default meter addresses for 2-unit inverters and 70 for 3-unit inverters. The Accuenergy Acuvim II puts its SunSpec meter ID at register 50069, read with function 03H. It is followed by phase currents, phase voltages and line-to-line voltages AB, BC and CA, each group with its own scale factor.
