Computers and the net are definitely not one of my strong points.

I see a problem with this but could be wrong as I don't know much about it. Can someone answer this.

They say that they get all power that is sent to the grid. So during the day I imagine the power is being generated and put onto the grid. If you are not home to use it during the day and mostly use power at night this power would be coming off the grid and you pay for it. If they are getting all the uploaded power it is not offsetting the power use use off the grid during the night. Is this correct or does the meter run backwards so the day offsets the night.

I hope someone can understand my babble.

During the day your fridge and freezer and hot water (or top up if on solar h/w) will all use power.
Your pv cells/inverter will feed these loads, any excess goes back into the grid. The smart meter allows for such and credits your account. Your are in the black.
When you are home and draw more, or when the sun sets and the pv system cannot deliver, your load is as was before the solar install - you draw back from the grid- and your account goes into the red.

So, even if you do not generate enough to feed the grid, or cannot due to contract "deals", you still get to run your fridge/freezer, hot water top up, and any other daytime draw for free. Unless you need a bit more, that is.

Either way, you will save! It is just a matter of how much.

The way mine works is I use what I generate first. Excess is fed to the grid. Any more we use than the panels generate we draw from the grid.

What this means just now is I have fed 200km/h into the grid and not been paid so far. I believe I can apply for this to be paid out at the going rate so nothing like they would be charging me for what I have used.

Either way it still ofsets you bill.
