1. An electric meter, comprising:
a first set of connection paths configured to couple to a meter socket and electrically coupled to a first electrical connection path between a first phase of an electric distribution power source, a first phase of a distributed energy resource device, and a first phase of a load, wherein the first electrical connection path includes first electrical metrology components; and
a second set of connection paths configured to couple to the meter socket and electrically coupled to a second electrical connection path between a second phase of the electric distribution power source, a second phase of the distributed energy resource device, and a second phase of the load, wherein the second electrical connection path includes second electrical metrology components,
wherein the first electrical metrology components and the second electrical metrology components are symmetrically arranged in the electric meter so that the first electrical metrology components are positioned on a first side of the electric meter and the second electrical metrology components are positioned on a second side of the electric meter that is non-overlapping with the first side of the electric meter.
