That's an interesting thought. There are probably regulations which determine whether this is permissible or not rather than technical limitations.

Still waiting to be contacted about fitting a smart meter six weeks after I applied.

Not with Octopus (yet) and don't export any power .
I use Loop energy app to view consumption - they take data from your smart meter. Seems accurate but always a few hrs behind.

Two full calendar months later...

Octopus eventually escalated my request for a smart meter to a formal complaint saying that would speed things up.

After an immense amount of further pressure by phone and email they have given me an appointment for Oct 3rd. Am not holding my breath.

They also say they will put in the application for an Export MPAN so I can move from deemed export with Good Energy to metered export with Octopus Outgoing. But independently I contacted NGED, who say that Octopus can't do this via ECOS if more than 3.68kW, I need to make a G99 application direct to NGED.

I already did this 3 weeks ago and have heard nothing further despite 2 follow-up emails....
