Do I need a new meter to participate in DEBS and how do I arrange this?

To install a solar power system you’ll need to have a bi-directional energy meter that is capable of separately measuring and recording electricity flows in each direction - consumption and export.

If you don’t already have a bi-directional meter, your meter will need to be replaced, reprogrammed or reconfigured to ensure it’s compatible with your solar power system. We’ll work with Western Power to arrange this on your behalf.

Metering Costs to switch to DEBS

Meter upgrade fee: $96.50 (inclusive of GST)
Meter reprogram fee: $96.50 (inclusive of GST)

You'll first need to apply to get your system connected to the grid to kick start the process.
