Hi all in the forum
At the end of June I had a 10 panel 2.5kWp system installed by a company that I chose from users of this forum. It has performed well over probably the best months of the year, and as a consequence when I generate more than I use the old analogue meter runs backwards and subtracts units as well. I informed my supplier of this twice since the system was installed, and the net result........diddly squat. A meter read was due and surprise surprise, the reading is actually less than what was recorded for June. Net result now, new electricity meter being fitted next Wednesday. Anyone else had this situation, and how did they deal with working out what one owes for that quarter?
Kind Regards

More than likely, they'll treat the meter reading as being 'accurate' and give you a refund and/or adjust your regular payment going forward. That's what happened in the few similar cases I know about. Their only other option is to demonstrate that there has been 'theft' or that there's a meter fault - neither of which is likely.

I normally tell my customers to report it to them and keep proof you've done it. That way there is no comeback. Had one customer who put their meter readings in and got a £300 refund followed by a meter reader turning up and finding nothing wrong lol- He'd reported that it needed changing twice already.
