Hey @Hels24 

 

Welcome to the Forum

 

It can definitely be tricky getting your head around all things solar, but we’re all here to help make that a little easier if we can.

 

Having THTC does make this a little more challenging as some of the others have already mentioned, you can read more about it on this homepage too.

 

We’ve got a helpful topic on complex meter types such as Total Heat Total Control: 

 

As Blastoise186 mentioned, we’re currently working on a replacement for THTC meters and will update customers and any related pages when we have more.

 

I also wanted to link to some topics which share other users’ experiences of having solar panels fitted etc so you’ve got as much information before you make a decision:

 

 

I hope some of this has been helpful to you, but if you’ve got any other questions, just let us know.🙂

For the avoidance of doubt, once again, we reported the reversing meter at the first opportunity and await a response. Moreover, how can one ‘let it run backwards’ ? We have no control over the meter and to try and influence it surely then would be tampering!

Apologies if it confused you. My writing style is designed for a wide audience, since this stuff often stays up for several years after you’ve moved on. Given the wide range of folks who’ll likely read these things, I write it as a warning to those who might get tempted - it’s not intended to target any specific individual.

Hi @ToSH67 

 

Sorry to hear about the issues you’re having at the moment surrounding the meter set up.

 

I did reach out to one of our specialists to double check if a replacement meter would be possible at the moment but we’re currently unable to replace the meter as we don’t have an appropriate replacement for THTC just yet - this is due to be available in the next few months.

 

It’s fairly common with traditional meters to clock backwards when there’s a solar export systems connected, more so when there’s more energy being generated than imported, so this isn’t something the team haven’t seen or dealt with before, unfortunately the twin element (THTC setup) makes replacing the meter and fixing the issue more tricky than normal.

 

We’ll be in touch directly when we have meter replacements available.
