After install we were allowed to turn on our solar panels, and low and behold my meter started going backwards!
Something I didn’t know at the time, and wish someone had told me, was that these old style meters are way more lucrative with solar power. This is because you get credit for all the power you are putting back – including distribution charges. This is a material impact as per my financial post.
Clearly the panels were working, which was very exciting!
Unfortunately i was in a rush to get my net-meter installed, which in hindsight I should have just let the very slow wheels of Enmax do on their own sweet time…
