Seems logical as long as it's all worked out mathematically. Our electrical provider went almost a whole year without reading our meter, just estimating, and when I ran into him one day and asked him what kind of a read he got he seemed unable to read a meter, even though it was clear as day. So, I don't know how much confidence I have in them.

It seems, off the top of my mind, that it would be a little more complicated than subtracting the solar power from the meter, because the meter is actually going up when it should be going down.

As soon as I talk with the installer of the solar power I'll know more I guess.
