Can my smart meter work out how much I export from my solar panels?

Updated on 03/10/25 by Ben_OVO: 

Our Smart meters do track how much energy you’re exporting if you’ve got solar panels. To take your export reading check the instructions for your meter type below:

For an ‘Aclara’ meter (Elec MSN has an 'M')

Electricity - Screen 1 - readings, active tariff price, standing charge, export reads, meter mode

For a ‘Secure Liberty’ meter (Elec MSN has an '17, 18, or 19 P')

9 - Displays total import and export register values (will provide a total reading after IMP KWH)

However even with a Smart Meter you’ll still need to submit the readings manually if you’ve got a OVO Feed In Tariff or Smart Export Guarantee.

If you’re interested in having solar panels installed by OVO you can request a free design consultation here.

If you’ve got solar panels already and would like to sign up to our Smart Export Guarantee you can find out more information, and sign up, here.
