Hi.
I had a foxess system installed a couple of weeks ago and today I got my smart meter installed.
My system is a 12kw solar, kh10 and 40 kw battery.
From the app, I have been generating a lot more power than I need so have been exporting.
Today once the smart meter was installed after a few hours I noticed that the INL 1 reading was 17kw (happened to coincide with 17kw that my system says I exported) and the EHL 1 reading was 0.08kw (coinciding with how much i used of the grid).
Is it possible the smart meter has been wired backwards? It looks like its counting what i and exporting as if i was importing?
I rang the electricity company and they advised i have to wait 10 days for the system to register to check but im worried if it is flipped ill get charged for my exports?
Thanks!
Who is your energy supplier?
I would be surprised if a meter was wired backwards.

Origin is the supplier.MaterialBarracuda48 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2026 8:31 am Who is your energy supplier?

Could something else be wired wrong given those numbers?
Do you have an online way to view submitted meter readings online?
Just to know they could be a few days behind real-time if you can check.

Looking at the meter will show you if the meter has been physically wired correctly, it is a standard wiring layout so there should be no reason for it being wrong.
The incoming supply from the DNO cut-out (main fuse) should be on the left hand pair of terminals and the feed to your distribution board(s) on the right hand pairs, the sequence left-right being:
Live in
Neutral in
Neutral out
Live out
Also what model of meter is it.
If in doubt, post a photo.

No not yet. They have said i need to wait 10 days for it to be available online hence my concern where the numbers will be in 10 days.MaterialBarracuda48 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2026 10:02 am Do you have an online way to view submitted meter readings online?

Thanks. This is the model of the smart meter and the instructions im following about what each code meansnrb501 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2026 3:56 pm Looking at the meter will show you if the meter has been physically wired correctly, it is a standard wiring layout so there should be no reason for it being wrong.
