smart meters: questions to ask?

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.

  • Spark Energy are now offering customers £50 credit if they have a smart meter installed.

    They must be getting desperate.

    (Customers who have already had one fitted will be miffed.)


    I've yet to see a smart meter advert' on Facebook with anything other than dozens of negative comments, sometimes 100s of them.

    A large proportion of the complaints are from people who made the mistake of having one fitted.
