Z̈oé@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
uli hertlein 🇪🇺🇺🇦@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.
