UWEB Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 This morning PEA came to my House to replace my old Meter with a Digital one. Had a bit small talk with the Supervisor and he told, that they work off a List of Houses where they know Solar is installed all over Prachuap Khiri Khan as first step. Once done they will continue to change the old Meters with Digital once. So be prepared for a PEA Visit . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm registered but Neighbor not, but both we got a new Meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBChiangRai Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I should imagine it’s more efficient to replace all the meters together in a local area, especially if they’re on the same pole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All domestic-level grid-tie inverters implement anti-islanding which will kill the inverter should the grid go down. I'm not aware of any instances where a correctly installed grid-tie inverter has caused a hazard to linemen. There are documented instances of inverters that are not intended to grid-tie and domestic generators being incorrectly wired to back-feed and worker deaths have been reported. It is vital to use the correct type of inverter and connect in the approved manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My inverter is on the PEA approved list, many are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
