[QUOTE="upnortheast, post: 7378386, member: 3010"] Way they usually work simple explanation - the feed from the panels is connected direct into your supply after your mains meter. Because the solar inverters send the power out at a slightly higher voltage (pressure ) than mains the solar leccy is used first, so you mains meter doesn't turn. The meter in your pic is recording your solar production regardless of how it is used. Bigger arrays may have a extra export meter. You are paid fit on all your production. If array is under 30kw they assume you use 50% so pay export for 50% If over 30kw you will have an export meter. and paid on that reading. You also benefit from the solar power you use on site which means your leccy bill will be less. Do you know the size of your array. ? Each panel will probably be about 1/4 KW the orientation , angle & any shading are relevant when predicting output [/QUOTE]
