Don't you have to install the SM anyway if you are now installing a photovoltaic system or have more than 6000KWh electricity consumption?

Formal: Yes Reality: Have been waiting for years. Why? Because it is up to the grid operators when and how they install the SM. And most grid operators don’t care or find it too expensive to come out for individual folks. Photovoltaic installation? They don’t care here (also with the neighbors who just got a system) Electricity consumption? They don’t care here Wallbox installation? They don’t care here

For new photovoltaic systems/wallboxes and heat pumps, it must be the system operator who installs them and not the network operator, right? At least I had to have one installed. I got a new two-way meter from the network operator.

Do you mean the SM that belongs to the photovoltaic system or the "official" one (keyword smart meter)? You can only get that from the metering point operator (and that is usually the local grid operator) for a fee. I also have a Fronius SM myself for the photovoltaic system. But it can't do much...

Aah ok, I wasn’t aware that there are differences between the SM from the operator and from the photovoltaic system.
The bidirectional meter was installed fresh at our place, but I don’t know if it’s really smart. According to the manual, at least with an additional module it is possible.

However, since no supplier currently wants/can supply us and the basic supplier has canceled our contract for whatever reason, I can’t even say if it costs anything extra.

Small OT story on the side: Never change the electricity supplier during a meter change. You then disappear into the depths of the systems because the change of the meter number at our metering point operator usually takes 6 months. Under the old meter, you are no longer traceable and the new meter is not yet registered. The old electricity supplier was unfortunately terminated by us, the new one was rejected due to the meter change. Now the meter change, after many phone calls to the metering point operator, has been completed prematurely and the new electricity supplier would like to take over, but can only take over retroactively by 6 weeks if the old supplier gives clearance. The 6 weeks since termination have passed. In the meantime, the basic supplier should theoretically step in. After several calls, a contract was also offered. However, it was revoked yesterday by the basic supplier. Reason according to the representative unclear. No one can tell us now from whom we are getting electricity. They all hold their heads, but no one can untie the knot.

And specifically due to the lobbying influence of the few corporations that have secured the majority of the power grid.
