Solar Newbie needing help with generation meter reading!

We have just purchased a house with a solar PV installation and I am trying to transfer the FiT payments into my name. It is feeling very daunting! My main problem at the moment (although I am struggling to get my head around it in general!) is reading the generation meter to give British Gas a reading. It is a Rayleigh Instruments meter and scrolls between 2 figures - 014689.33 and 67.55. Which is the reading?! Presumably the longer one, as the panels were installed in 2015?!
Thanks in advance!

    Yes 014689 (which is what you'd enter into the form or webpage, if it's similar to how Scottish Power do it) is a very plausible number of kWh generated over four years. No idea what the other one is.

    The other one is probably something like test units.
