TMDSSOLARUINVKIT: Micro Inverter Kit - Two possible circuits for measuring input current

Part Number: TMDSSOLARUINVKIT

I have a TMDSSOLARUINVKIT unit and i'm studying its example software and hardware.

I found out on the board and schematics that it comes with two circuits for measuring input (PV) current at flyback stage. One uses a Current Transformer and the other uses a Hall Effect Sensor.

Both circuits are assembled and their outputs are connected to different analog inputs of the C2000 IC.

Looking at the example code written by TI, just one measurement circuit is used (the Hall Effect) by default.

By changing some lines of code I can use the other circuit (CT) but my unit is damaged and I'm waiting for some components to fix it, so I couldnt  test this modification.

There is no mention about this in the documentation. I've just found out by analysing the hardware and source code.  

I would like to know the reasons for this and the consequences of using one measuring circuit over another. 

It was only for didactic reasons??

Thanks
