smart meters: questions to ask?

DavidMartin
My electronics does not quite extend to domestic power systems so would appreciate advice: 


We have a 4kW PV installation (which works well), but I understand some smart meters are incompatible with PV installations.  Partly for that reason I have prevented installation, so far.

I also understand that smart meter standards are still settling and not all meters being installed are guaranteed to work for the forseeable future, through changes in suppliers, etc.

There also seem to be issues around safely and future maintenance of some smart meter systems.


So ... can the team suggest questions I should ask to reduce the risk of a 'bad' smart meter installation ?


Thanks.

    Just to add, as far as I know,  you can't have a smart meter to replace your 'total generation' meter on the PV system - so you'd still be on manual readings for that. The main smart meter will be able to measure exports, but since most of us are quite happy on 'deemed exports', that not necessarily a benefit.
