[QUOTE="binky, post: 388535, member: 490"] ok lets get terminology correct, your solar meter is known as the 'generation meter. it does not measure export, it measures electricty passing through it in one direcion as per any other OFGEM approved meter. If it is wired correctly the inverter will be connected to the left hand side and right hand side connected to your board. The Landis and Gyr model you mention I've fitted hundreds of, it doesn't clock in reverse - could you imagine the fiddling possible for FiT claims if it did. Now its got dark, check it, your inverter system will be pulling about 10-30watts from the grid in standby mode, yet it won't be clocking anything. When we first started solar work, some people I subbyed in to give hand wired the gen meter the wrong way around, they didn't clock backwards. [/QUOTE]
