Ovo emailed me today asking me to send them my export reading. I have asked why. Perhaps it's connected with on-line metering. Or could they be moving me off deemed 50% export?I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0 -

Although a smart meter is a very handy GIZZMO; it is very intrusive. Think you will find that you only get paid now for your actual export, in your case, export ain't much.... @ 3p per kWh...:mad::eek: If you have Solar PV, avoid as long as possible if you are able to utilize what you generate...;)
Only managed a/an Hawaii + 1.64 O's....Rekon I have about another three - four weeks to hope for a SPUD.....:cool:..2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax:
Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).0
