Choosing how to report your meter reading

Once you’re on the submission page, you’ll be asked to choose between two options:

  • Cumulative Meter Reading
  • Monthly Net Generation

⚠️ Choosing the correct option is very important


Option 1: Cumulative Meter Reading (Recommended)

This is the most common and recommended method.

Cumulative means you are entering your system’s total lifetime production (kWh).

How it works:

  • You enter the full number shown on your meter or monitoring system
  • This number will always increase over time

Example:

  • Month 1 reading: 10,000 kWh → enter 10,000
  • Month 2 reading: 10,895 kWh → enter 10,895

You will also be able to see your previous submissions on the right side of the screen, which can help you confirm your entry.

👉 This method is simpler and less error-prone, especially if you are manually reporting readings.


Option 2: Monthly Net Generation

This option is for reporting only the energy produced during a single month.

How it works:

  • You must calculate the difference between your current and previous readings unless you have a monitoring platform

Example:

  • Previous reading: 10,000
  • Current reading: 10,895
  • Monthly net = 895 kWh

👉 You would enter 895, not 10,895


⚠️ Important Notes

  • Monthly net generation typically cannot be read directly from a physical meter
  • You must track prior readings to calculate it correctly
  • This can easily lead to errors if done manually

      Recommendation

We strongly recommend submitting Cumulative Meter Readings unless:

  • You have a monitoring system that calculates monthly generation for you, or
  • You have received specific instructions from our team
