[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 474755, member: 28452"] It's not clear to me (from the Telegraph article), what's going wrong. My solar panels are connected through a dedicated meter, which is my property. I read this meter for the feed in tarrif company, which is different to my energy supplier, and the payout I get is based solely on that reading. Upload is assumed to be 50% of what I generate. My conventional supply meter records incoming supply only. It does not measure my upload, simply flashing what appears to be RE, which I guess indicates "REVERSED" when I'm feeding the grid. So, how can a different (SMART) meter cause an increase in supply bills due to the solar system? Is it reading current flow in either direction as being consumption? I have no intention of taking one at the moment BTW. [/QUOTE]
