And with the Solarman P1 Meter Reader, getting started is easier than you think.
This guide walks you through the basic steps of installing the P1 Meter Reader from Solarman—a powerful tool for accurate, continuous, and wireless energy monitoring.
What Is the P1 Meter Reader?
The Solarman P1 Meter Reader is a smart device designed to collect and transmit energy consumption data directly from your P1 meter reader. Using an RJ12 interface, the meter connects directly to your home’s existing smart meter system, receiving real-time usage data.
From there, the Solarman P1 Meter Reader uses WiFi to send that data to the APP that matches P1. Once connected, users can view both real-time and historical electricity consumption via clear, intuitive graphs. This not only helps homeowners understand their energy use at a glance but also supports long-term energy-saving strategies.

Plug-and-play: Direct power from P1 Meter Reader, simple and hassle-free setup.
High compatibility: Universal COM protocol, supports a wide range of devices. Type-C interface addresses power supply issues in P1 Meter Readers below DSMR 5.0.
Safe and reliable: Engineered for stable performance and secure operation.
Compact-size design: Small footprint, fits easily without requiring extra space.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Here’s how to set up your Solarman P1 Meter Reader in just a few simple steps:
1. Locate Your P1 Port
Most modern smart meters come equipped with a P1 port, typically located on the front or bottom of the device. This port allows external readers to access data securely.
Note: Make sure your meter supports P1 data output and that the port is active.
2. Connect the P1 Meter Reader via RJ12 Cable
Plug the RJ12 connector on the Solarman P1 Meter Reader into the P1 port on your smart meter. This physical connection allows the device to begin collecting real-time consumption data immediately.
3. Power Up the Device
Once connected, power up your P1 Meter Reader. Most models are powered directly through the P1 port, but some may include an external power option if needed.
4. Connect to WiFi
Using the APP compatible with the P1:
Search for and select your home WiFi network.
Enter your network credentials.
Confirm that the device is connected successfully.
Once connected, your meter reader will begin transmitting data directly to the Solarman monitoring platform.
5. Register the Device on the Monitoring Platform
Create or log in to your account via the app that matches P1. Add your P1 Meter Reader by entering the device serial number (usually found on the label). Once registered, you can start viewing live and historical data instantly.
