    OVO Energy Smart Meter Assessment Day

    Hi, bit of a long shot probably but worth a shot as I'm desperate to pass and very apprehensive about the assessment day this week. Does anyone have any experience doing the assessment day which will consist of a role play, manual dexterity test and interview. Thanks in advance.

    Customer didn't get his Smart Meter.

    Had a call earlier from a chap I've worked for in the past, his CU [renewed around 12 years ago] and meter is sited in a cupboard under the stairs.

    Smart meter benefits/downfalls

    Ovo won't Fit a Smart Meter.

    My daughter wanted a smart meter but when the fitter came he said he couldn't fit it because "the meter is on the same board as the CU". I don't have a picture and she lives 120 miles away, but I do know that it is all in her understairs cupboard. Is this something to be concerned about?

    Deemed Output - you may lose it if you have a Smart Meter fitted later on.

    Until a few days ago, I had assumed that if you'd signed up for FiTs with no export meter (<30kWp), then you got deemed output and go paid 50% of what you generated for export. Bearing in mind that MOST people actually export more than 50% (even the 2.5kWp systems) because it is difficult to...
