[QUOTE="Oldman22, post: 538713, member: 36003"] I have had solar panels since 2014 and the then dumb meter couldn't read my export so it was deemed 50%. I moved away from the FIT contract company to another as my energy supplier, they wanted to fit a gen 1 smart meter which turned out to be quite dumb, unreadable by the next energy company I moved to. In fact is was unreadable by any energy provider until last year when my current energy provider started to read it. With todays high prices I would now like to be able to smart read my Gas as well as my electric consumption, my energy provider says I have to have a gen 2 electric meter so the smart gas meter once installed can transmit its data to the gen 2 device. IF I go ahead and have the 2 new meters fitted, is the FIT contract company going to somehow become aware and no longer pay me the 50% deemed export, but the exact amount which if I work it right is seldom anywhere near 50% and pays me around £50 during summer months. The fit contract company has not been my energy provider for many years but i'm unsure how the meter data is protected against sharing amongst energy providers. I dont wish to ask the FIT company directly as that may be lifting the lid on pandora's box. [/QUOTE]
