Ye olde worlde meters

Had PV for almost 3 weeks now, what have people done with meters going backwards? Should my installers have changed (or advised to change) them (only day is going backwards, not E7 one).

I suppose it makes no difference what i get paid as I'm on 50% export?

You need to report it to your electricity supplier, so that they can change your meter to one that does not go backwards.

I have a relation who has had a meter going backwards for the last 4 years. They have told their energy supplier about a dozen times around once every 3 months. Done it over the phone. Sent registered letters and e-mails. Nothing done as yet but each year their energy supplier refunds most of what they have paid during the previous year.

Their system is around 7.5 kWh so when its sunny it goes back quite quickly.

As long as you have told them you can always manage to be out when they come to change the meter.:D;):D

I did send a fb message, with a false name, and they told me to contact them to have it swapped out. But they haven't answered my question about e7.
They (bulb) knew I was getting PV as I had previously asked about their FIT, but they came back thats its in beta trial, which didn't instill confidence.
I have registered with good energy as recommended by my installers, Just waiting for it all to kick in.
