Do shareholders now own the sunshine? My usage had actually gone up after Solar Panels?

Honeywell Elster AS300P (SMETS1)
To get an export reading from this smart meter:

1. Press and hold the grey middle button until the main menu loads up
2. ‘General’ should appear on-screen – press and hold the middle button again to select this option
3. ‘Time & Date’ should be visible – now scroll with the bottom button until you see ‘TOU Registers’
4. Press and hold the middle button once more will hovering over ‘TOU Registers’ and you should now see ‘Cum. Exp.’ with a value underneath it.

If it reads zero then your export is definitely being ‘seen’ as consumption.

This is not a matter for the solar installer though as it is Scottish Power’s meter that is not doing what it needs to do. The cause may be that, as I understand it, the smart meter has to be correctly set up to measure export as well as consumption – as the solar panels were installed after the smart meter then this may not be the case with yours.

If you export value is zero then tell Scottish Power that they need to pull their finger out and reset your meter.
