Electric Meter on Solar!
I installed a 7KW PV Solar electric system on my home, today is the first day it is in operation with sun. It’s a partly cloudy day, the sun is in and out all day. You see the meter turn fast when the sun is bright and slow when it’s dark. Yes boys, that sucker is turning BACKWARDS!

Check out our iPhone app, MeterRead. It helps you read your meter and provides detailed feedback including you estimated 30 day usage based on your current read.
It will help you save money and the planet!

um, the same way you slow down a mechanical one

If you look right around the 0:20 Mark you can see it moving forward for a bit when I was using more then generating, then it reverses as the sun came out. Maybe that proves it!

show me a shot of the meter running backwards at the same time you show a stop watch or normal clock with a second hand running forwards…how do we know you didn’t just reverse this footage? I can show you a vid of the sun rising in the west and setting in the east….LOL

I have a digital meter how can I slow it down???

yes it is…if you have a rotary one, go outside and look at your meter. Should be spinning counter clockwise

I never thought of running the footage in reverse, that would be a good way to make a fake for sure. but no, this is real. The sad thing is my utility company took this meter out and replaced it with a digital one. one that recordes what you “buy” and what you “sell”. So sorry I can’t re-do the video any more. But those zero electrical bills with the A/C on full prove it for me!
