You will install two (2) joulemeters on your vehicle, one unit between the array panel and battery, and the other between the battery and motor. To have a validated run, the vehicle must produce more than power than used, i.e. the first meter must have a higher count than the meter between the battery and motor. If it’s a valid run, the array panel meter count will be used to calculate your run measured in m/kwh.
