Howdy all,
I was out on vacation for two weeks and my utility (SCE) finally got around to installing the Time-Of-Use digital meter I signed up for about a month ago while I was away. I haven't got much of a clue how to read it though I can sort of figure it out but I'm not sure whether it's counting up (as in they will want me to pay them) or count down (they pay me) because the number that's clicking up doesn't have a negative sign next to it. By the way, while I was gone we were only consuming about 3 kWh per day and producing an average of 35+ so it darn well better be negative! It has a code of "7 1" and is right at 340 kWh right now. The other three displays (they cycle every few seconds) read 20 kWh, .64 kWh and 0 kWh. There's also a small "pie" divided up into numbered quarters and I'm guessing that has to do which what time of day profile the meter is running on (on-peak, off-peak, etc.) Any clues?
