Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the ability of current smart meter technology accurately to account for energy generated by domestic solar panels.

Both SMETS1 and SMETS2 smart meters are compatible with microgeneration, including solar panels.

All SMETS compliant electricity meters are capable of recording any electricity that is exported to the grid from onsite renewable generation sources, such as solar panels.
