Solar PV Export meter

98 Posts

I've just had solar PV installed.
I've noticed than my old meter had a solid red light, which I guess means I'm not using the grid electric, now it's darker it's flashing.
But the generation meter they've installed does this look correct? The arrows are on "import" surely I should be exporting to the grid.

I think my installer said it would switch between IMP and EXP but I've never seen it change since panels went on in March.
