@balkonsolar I never in my life ran into an old meter that haven’t had a ratchet (Rücklaufsperre)
I’m sure these exists but must be very rare

Usually you just gift the energy to the utility company if you feed in more than your own consumption

@uint8_t @balkonsolar Not sure if they're so rare. I had one (for about 2.5mo until it got swapped) and I keep reading about people having them on reddit.
