Reading Your Solar Meter

How do I read my solar generation meter?

How to read your solar generation meter: LOCATION: usually next to your consumer unit (fuse box) or inverter. It's a small meter labelled 'generation meter' or 'export meter'. READING: displays total kWh generated since installation (cumulative). Record monthly and subtract last month's reading = monthly generation. EXPECTED OUTPUT: 4kW system monthly average: 290-350 kWh (varies by season). If your reading is significantly below expected: check for faults. SMART MONITORING: most modern systems have app-based monitoring (GivEnergy, SolaX, Enphase) which is easier than manual meter reading. But the physical meter is your official record for SEG payments. TIP: photograph your meter monthly for records. Some SEG providers ask for quarterly readings.
