Hi Lester"It is not possible that excess solar is going back to the grid and at the same time power is coming from the grid to supply my HWS. " - Yes, it is possible. Lester this statement is not about the smart meter it is about physics, the supply cable coming from the street (grid) to my house can not be carrying power in both directions at the same time, this is not possible. It must be flow in or out, do you agree ?

Hi LesterI have full monitoring of CL times on and off and heating periods of my HWS logged."I am fairly sure your HWS is not involved at all by the solar you make""Your solar is being produced and used in the home while you use your appliances etc, and any extra going to the grid for your FIT rebate." It is not possible that excess solar is going back to the gird and at the same time power is coming from the grid to supply my HWS. This is a physical impossibility. During this period my solar is ...

Hi Lester, thank you for your input.Bottom line, I think the most likely scenario is the CL metering is separate for your HWS and not affected by your solar production.My question worded differently is, when my solar is producing and power going back to the grid, if CL is switch on some of that power is diverted to the HWS by the smart meter as it is the device that switches the CL on. No power is coming from the grid, so why am i being charge for CL power ?I appreciate all the other information ...
