Re: solar export

@Lou20 If I were you the first thing I would do is check that you are actually generating solar.Simply go to your solar inverter and see if it is working.If not, then it is up to you to resolve it.

Re: reading new digital

@IBDRAC Look for other posts on reading meters. I would think the registers 4 and 14 will be identical amounts for 3 and 13. Registers 3 and 13 will be 30min reports and 4 and 14 will be 5min reports. AGL uses the 30min reports for your download file.

Re: Peak & off peak rate for electrical bill

@Tony10Chris Plans and prices vary with each state. Look at the energymadeeasy.gov.au website and do some comparisons. Demand tariffs are meant to get businesses to reduce their energy usage. I would not recommend demand for households as it is like a tax on your usage, so besides paying the electricity cost per kilowatt hour you also pay this demand tax.
