We just got rooftop solar in Canada. Our meter was old and had to be upgraded to bidirectional.

We were warned if we turned on the system before the meter upgrade the old meter would sum together power coming from the grid and power going into it from our solar and we would be billed for the combined.

So with some old meters you don’t want to put power into the grid.
