Net meter check — is your solar being counted properly?

INDEMNet meter check · is your solar being counted properly?

Is your net meter telling the truth?

Your inverter knows what it generated. Your meter knows what went out and what came in. Put the two together and we can work out what your home actually consumed — a number your bill never shows you — and check whether the meter is counting your solar properly. No sign-up, nothing is stored.

The four numbers

Generation is on your inverter display or app. Import, export and net are on the electricity bill or the meter itself.

The bill and the settlement

What your home runs

This is how we cross-check the meter. If your appliances explain the consumption the meter implies, the numbers hang together. If they don't, one of the two is wrong — and that is worth knowing.

Each one either passes or tells you what to look at. A flag is not proof of a fault — it is a reason to look.
