Abstract: Solar Photovoltaic utility meter adapter is disclosed. The adapter redirects power from a photovoltaic connection directly back to the power grid while still being monitored by the existing utility meter and abiding NEC code rules. This operates to resolve the limitations of busbar amperage rating and heat. The adapter connects to existing electrical connections of an electrical service on a building on one side, and connects to the utility meter on the other side. Busbars inside the adapter receive power from the photovoltaic device, through an overcurrent protecting device. The device is connected in a first configuration with the connection part oriented in a first direction, said busbars connect to load connections of said electrical service, and in a second configuration with said connection part oriented in a second direction opposite to said first direction, said busbars connect to source connections of said electrical service.
