Smart Energy Meter (KSEM) with energy management functions
Country: Germany · Model: KSEM
The KSEM multifunction energy meter sits at the grid connection point of a site and measures consumption. It also runs self-consumption control in systems, including those with the PLENTICORE BI battery inverter, and is set up through its own web interface.
- Purpose
- consumption metering and self-consumption control
- Compatibility
- all inverters

Description
The meter works with every inverter the manufacturer makes. At the connection point it sees both site consumption and energy fed back to the grid. That data drives self-consumption control, which is why KSEM is used with the PLENTICORE BI battery inverter, charging the battery from surplus generation and discharging it once the site starts drawing from the grid. Metering and energy management sit in one device, so no separate controller is installed. With PIKO CI grid-tied inverters the meter is mandatory, for one unit or several, including services above 63 A with transformer-rated metering. In PLENTICORE systems it is needed when a PLENTICORE G2 runs with an ENECTOR G2 charger, when a G2 or G3 runs with an ENECTOR G1, and when several PLENTICORE G2 units form a device network.
How to choose
Take the KSEM when the site has a PIKO CI, a service above 63 A runs through transformer-rated metering, or several devices must be coordinated. A single PLENTICORE G3 or plus G2 without such links is served by the simpler KEM, which also works with the ENECTOR G2 and Multi Device Control. For the single-phase 3–7 kW PLENTICORE MP there is the single-phase KEM MP on a DIN rail.

FAQ
Where is the Smart Energy Meter installed?
At the grid connection point of the site, where it sees consumption and export at the same time.
Which inverters is the KSEM compatible with?
All inverters, including the PLENTICORE BI and the PIKO CI grid-tied range.
What does the KSEM do besides metering?
It controls system self-consumption, so no separate energy management controller is needed.
Is the KSEM mandatory with PIKO CI inverters?
Yes, for one or more PIKO CI units it is required, including services above 63 A with transformer-rated metering.
Is the KSEM needed for an ENECTOR charger?
Yes, when a PLENTICORE G2 runs with an ENECTOR G2 or a PLENTICORE G2/G3 with an ENECTOR G1.
