Smart meter showing import

I have just had a smart meter installed and looking at the app it is showing I am importing power from the grid, not much 0.04kws, even when I am exporting more than 13 kw of solar back into the grid. I do not have any large equipment running, just the normal household items. I have had home with smart meters before and have never had a import reading while exporting solar. Is this a faulty or inc ...

Meter reading.

Wondering why the total KWh consumption figure on register 3 of my i-Credit 500 smart meter is so vastly different to the latest reading on my AGL bill, does the meter skip the first digit making a 100,000KWh difference. Also I noticed at Register 2 that the clock has not moved to daylight savings time, what happens if I go off-peak?

MK10 Smart meter codes

We have had a MK10 meter installed when you read it there are four codes, 03, 13, 04 ,14. Can any tell me what the stand for. Our hot water power is on a separate meter so controlled load is not one of them. I think 03 is General Power used and 13 is solar export. What 04 & 14 are for I have no idea.

QLD: Tariff 33 vs Tariff 31

Our current energy bill is suspiciously high in relation to our hot water costs: AGL claims ‘27% of the monthly bill’ while the latest bill breakdown indicates 203.522kWh for HWS only /Tariff 33 Controlled Load. Given relatively low household use for a retired couple, this seems way too much. HWS is in good working order: tempering valve, thermostat, heating element etc. I fail to understand why w ...

Estimated billing will be a massive first bill unless it's fixed!

Hi, I rang AGL after about a week as I noticed I wasn't getting my meter data in the app. Only getting estimated data which is saying over $10 a day. I have a battery and solar, so this is incorrect. Firstly they had me hooked up to the incorrect address, however I confirmed that they now have my correct meter number. Still only getting estimated usage after 2 further weeks. Never had any trouble ...
