Smart meter for solar panels and digital media.
Some of the issues were connected to households that have smart meters and solar panels fitted together.
Today saft is a wholly owned subsidiary of total.
Of the 18 who did have a smart electricity meter fitted more than half 53 told us they d had problems with measuring electricity generated and exported since their smart meter was installed.
A spokesperson from smarter energy gb the organisation behind the smart meter roll out said.
We are fine with this but are concerned there may be a conflict with the solar panels we have fitted.
We have been asked by pp to install dual fuel smart meters.
The main issues some people have reported when coping with a combination of solar panels and smart meters is that the meters connected to the solar panels are analogue meters or what we like to call dumb meters.
In a survey of 1 265 solar panel owners 5 of those who were offered or applied for a smart meter were told by their energy firm they couldn t have one because of their solar panels.
A smart meter won t stop your solar panels working and generating electricity and it won t alter the amount of electricity you get to use.
Smart meters offer tremendous benefits to the reliability of our electric grid as well smart meters allow utilities to pinpoint outages with greater accuracy because they transmit on site electricity consumption data or lack thereof in sub hourly intervals.
If you have solar panels wind turbines or any other microgeneration systems you can get a smart.
If you already have a smart meter installed and it s a first generation model the smets1 you may encounter compatibility problems with your solar panels.
While a smart meter is similar to an interval meter in that it records electricity usage in 30 minute intervals remotely to your electricity company smart meters have a range of additional capabilities.
So if your new meter is an interval meter it will need to be replaced again with a smart meter when this rollout occurs.
The answer to this question depends up to a point on what you mean by interfere.
Is there any experience of problems of installing an sm when solar panels are already in place.
It was previously the case that some smart meters were not compatible with solar panels but the new generation of smart meter being rolled out across the country known as the smets2 is compatible with all solar panels.
