Bill- When there is rebate money involved the utilities like to require a Revenue Grade meter.
The list of eligible meters is on the Go Solar site
SMA's Sunny Beam and WebBox monitors are on the list.
Give the customer a web based monitor and then you can see the generation too.

California Wrenches,
One of my utilities which is still offering rebates for
grid tie went to the Go Solar California website to see that the newest
SMA TL inverters (5.0 and 6.0) are on the "approved" list which of
course it is. However, in the "Approved built-in meter" column shows a
"NO" for it. My utility wants me to add an additional, separate meter
to show KWhr power production. I've talked with SMA about this and
the onboard monitor gives KWhrs and they've showed me their docs for it,
but my utility is still using the fact that the Go Solar site says no.
How have others dealt with this or is it just my utility that's made an
issue of this?
Thanks,
Bill
