Question:

Is it mandatory to have a electric meter on your house if you`re not using electricity from the power company?

I recently had solar Pannels installed. The panels generate enough electricity to power my house during the day. I use a 20kw silent diesel generator to power my house at night. I really hate my power provider PGE. If i tell them to shut off my power, Will they remove that tacky smart meter from my property?

Answer:

They'll okorder
You can have them remove it.
If you don't pay your electric bill, they'll come and take away the meter. No, if you don't have electric service they don't want you to have a meter.
I think as long as the lines are cut, there should be no problem. I've seen plenty of abandoned properties in which the meter is removed. FYI, though. If you stay on the grid , the company will buy any excess.
Use a bat and take it off yourself
