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.

    One of the things about having multiple suppliers is that it made manual meter reading extremely inefficient.


    Back in the days when there was only one supplier for electricity and one supplier for gas their meters readers started at one end of the road and worked along it calling at every home and business.


    Now a meter reader needs a vehicle and may have to travel for several miles or more between reading meters, doing the job on foot or riding a bike is no longer possible.
