    Any Digital Meter experts out there?

    How do modern digital power meters respond to 'burst fire' or PWM controlled loads , ie Immersun etc, feeding export power to immersion heaters? Taking for example a 3kW load, and 2kW export surplus. With the 'burst fire' system, switching blocks of full wave power, the meter would register...

    Export payments no longer apply for extensions as well as no FIT payments

    More on our take on this at the Leeds Solar blog in short, bit of a kick in the teeth really, we had 3 customers lined up to have extensions put in based just on getting export payments, and that looked to me to be a sensible start on the gradual road to a zero FITs situation. Suppliers we'd...

    Smart Meters and Solar PV

    I've just received a letter to say I need a new electricity meter. A smart meter is being offered. I have solar PV with an Immersun diverting excess energy to my water tank, and towel radiators when the water is hot. Hence, my export is comparatively low. My question is, can the deemed...

    We've got a few systems needing export metering, would appreciate pricing and contact info from anyone who's had this fitted recently, particularly in the yorkshire area. Pricing for fitting and the annual fees would be ideal. Also does anyone know if the existing half hourly meters can just...

    G59 Solar PV Export Restriction Device?

    Hi all, Bit of a silly question but one I've never really encountered before. A customer of ours want an 8kWp PV system, I sent the application off to the DNO but they have come back saying we can only install 4kWp. I believe I read somewhere before that a device can be installed that limits...

(Customer recorded it daily for about a month) The finger was pointed at the export meter which was a Landis + Gyr. Changed it for another Landis + Gyr and had a look at the...

    Negotiate export tariff

    Has anyone had any luck with customers negotiating export at a rate higher than the standard 4.77 pence per unit? I've got a customer that will export around 36600 units and another company says it can get him a higher export rate. Thanks.

    export metering

    Hi, I know this topic has been discussed before, but ... Is it a requirement to install an export meter for systems over 30kW? The building to which the system is attached will consume at least 90% of the energy so it may not be worth the extra cost of export metering compared to a small 10%...

    I understand that for a 45kw commercial install we have to include an approved export meter (3 phase). Can anyone confirm what BG consider to be an approved model so we can cost this please? Do they supply or do we?

    Investment returns for solar PV.

    I am looking into the financials for domestic solar PV installs and wondered if anyone could help me with the following queries: 1. Whilst the FIT rates are supposedly 'locked-in' for 20 years, is it not possible that successive governments could reduce or abolish these payouts as it suits...

    Export rate is increasing to 4.64p

    Just in case anyone else had missed this litttle trumpeted morsel of information at the bottom of the latest Ofgem quarterly FIT rates table, the export rate for solar PV is going up to 4.64p per kWh, presumably from 1st April, thought that's not entirely clear. So that's a morsel of slightly...

    Just been talking to Eon about export metering for a 50kW and was told that it would be £600 for the first year but that you can only get export payments for 5 years. I didn't think this was the case about the 5 year cap, has anyone else been told this? Need to work out if export will be...
