Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Have you actually got an 'approved' electric meter (apart from the TGM and your household consumption one) ? It would be possible to remove the metering component from your inverter and have it tested to see just how accurate it is but it can never become 'approved' unless it's fitted in a secure enclosure.
Most of us settle for keeping records of how our own inverter compares with our own TGM - but unless you actually have a test certificate for the TGM you won't know whether you're comparing with a really accurate meter or one that could easily be a couple of percent out.Sterlingtimes wrote: »0.47 Os today.
