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.

    Andy my E7 was controlled by a contactor switched by my previous pre-payment meter. This was stripped out and removed when my new 5 hole meter dumb meter was fitted. Shame I did not ask to keep it as. I had thought of switching it on and of via my phone when I am not there. I have no phone connection at the cottage  and a very poor intermittent mobile signal.
