We had a SMART meter installed today - couldn't tell them to bugger off coz we don't want one - so there go all the meter reading jobs.

Driverless Trains will be commonplace in years to come.
We had solar fitted today. Already got a (maybe) smart meter here.We had a SMART meter installed today - couldn't tell them to bugger off coz we don't want one - so there go all the meter reading jobs.
Yep, got a special meter, but it isn't smart ! The Energex man wired it up wrong, so I get paid for all my solar power produced, instead of what just goes to the grid..Solar needs a special meter doesn't it?
Powercorp's computer said no. The transformers in our road couldn't handle the feedback if a few more residents put systems on as well. So don't worry about whether nobody else does put them on, let's assume they will and not say no to them then, cut us back now. Our cost difference 3Kw to 5Kw isn't a great deal but the benefit over time is.Who set the limit to 3 Kw? Council?
As for metering - to feed into the grid I was told that you need a special meter.

The smart meter is designed for power fed back into the system and the SMA box has readings as well. So maybe that's the 'other' meter. It gives us access to daily and total power generated as well as current output. I imagine it has other features in it's little brain.
Good thinking!I hope to get solar one day in the future when it's cheaper, more efficient, lighter, smaller, more KW and then I'll save a few splonders.

Don't rush in. Try to get someone in the industry to help with inside info not only on pricing and rebates (if any). Currently the buzz word is RETs - Renewable Energy Target Scheme - forget the 66c and the 33c per Kw back into the grid, under the RETs we (us out here in the sticks) have STCs - Small-scale Technology Certificates.
So under the RETs we have STCs. Are you still with me? Cos I ain't...
It has in the Queens Land.legislation WILL change...
