Hi Everyone,
I had solar panels installed on my house four years ago and have been struggling with the power company because I don't think the meter is working correctly. I'm wondering if anyone could provide some information about the meter, or questions I should be asking, or legal procedures I should start...
I have a small cape-style house. I installed a 12-panel array. The power company has not been printing the amount I am producing on my bill. When I asked about it - they told me that because my array was so small - I would never go below 0. The problem is - I hit zero almost every time the sun is out. They told me it was the monthly average.
I suspect that every time I'm producing more than I'm using - my meter hits zero, but doesn't bank the extra. I've run a bunch of numbers that confirm this, but the power company basically told me "just trust us, everything is working fine". I've been working with the Public Utilities Commission for the past two months to resolve this - but I haven't gotten anywhere.
The meter that I have is by Tilliant Networks, Landis Gyr, RES-3000-Focus. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me about this meter - is this meter even capable of "banking" power when I've generated more than I've used???
I would appreciate any information or guidance. I also might not be asking the correct questions or using the correct language - so please, let me know know what you would say or do in this position...
Thank you!!!
