Is there any reason left not to go smart meter?

My smart D/N meter is being installed on 10/10,just arranged it with TLI, will have to see which plan suits me best.

Just wondering what is the model number for the smart day night meter

No data here either in the Pinergy app and I switched to Pinergy on 04/09/2023

Data has been in the ESB website (up to a few days before the current day) for several weeks now though

Pinergy confirmed to me on the phone many times that once they see you on their system (from their side), you're on their tariffs. That I am on the Cooline plan and that my €100 bonus will be applied to my second bill. They promised to email me all this 4 times, but that never happened 🙄

Energia retention team rang me back ages ago to get me to come back, but I refused. So they told me I had to pay the €50 contract break fine

So I don't know 100% that I am with Pinergy and on the correct plan, but I'd be 99% confident. And if not, they will be in some serious trouble 😁

What are peoples thoughts on a scenario like this:

Solar installer installed standard inverter and that was placed on the NC6 say its a 4KW inverter. Then that person installed a AC inverter such as sofar me3000. I know some folk may have a setup like this. Technically the output of both inverters exceed the 25 amp limit for a NC6. The home owner does not update the NC6 to include the sofar me3000.

ESB will see excess export leakage on meters from the battery in the evening time, as CT clamps are not perfect. On paper that house does not have battery capable inverter per the NC6 form.

I suppose its anyone guess how the ESB would action this if they became aware. Thoughts, is it a concern?

When it comes to having an existing solar system which has a standard inverter having the option to leave it alone and just add a AC battery has its advantage like not stepping on the initial installers toes if another electrician installs the AC battery for you.

I do think the pros of getting measured export will be the tipping point for me as the deems export is alot lower then what I would get based on my export over the past few years.

Or am I wrong can you have a 4KW inverter grid tie inverter and a Sofar me3000 on a NC6🙃

Forget about anything written on the NC6 - that's completely irrelevant now.

All you now have to do is to ensure you never export over 5kW

No summer holidays 😂

Could you elaborate more on this. I know there was a discussion on another thread about if you have micro inverters on your solar install and you add a few more it may not be necessary to notify ESB about the extra (As its under the 25 amps)

For the folks who got told deemed export is ending, how did you find out? I haven't received anything in the post beyond the first letter saying I'm eligible for a Smart D/N meter

They are good to deal with generally but for certain things you have to be persistent and refuse to come off phone until they pass you through to someone who understands the issue otherwise they will fob you off, similar to most Irish customer service departments unfortunately.

Once get through to more senior customer service they generally resolve issues or pass it up the ladder. Normally quick response when passed up too with emails following day. Only issue which took a lot of back and forth was getting the balance refunded to account

From memory though I think it took about a week for the account to show up in the app for me.

And I got my first bill yesterday

Waiting on championc's bill...
