Have I wired this solar correctly.

This is at the mains unit end after a complete refurb.

I've come from the inverter in the loft into the isolator, then into the left side of the meter and then the right side of the meter into the RCBO.

The solar guys did all the loft work but had left site before I'd replaced the mains, that meter is the one I saved from the original installation. I should have noted what went where.

You should probably confirm that you've used a suitable bidirectional RCBO for the PV circuit, unless you're planning to test the smoke alarms.
As for the generation meter; it measures PV energy production, therefore, the input (mains) side of the meter is connected to the PV (inverter) side of the installation and output (load) side of the meter to the mains supply (RCBO).
I recommend you pick up a copy of the IET code of practice for Grid Connected Photovoltaic systems for reference.
The solar installation company should return to test and commission the system, as I assume it wasn't connected to the mains when they left site? They need to complete A/C circuit tests and complete test certificates prior to handover.

Is the meter deliberately wonky?
You need to put suitable warning notices in place.

So thats how I wired it then isnt it, seems right to me. All the other circuits are RCBO'S does it still need a bi-directional one? Anyway all that and the labels etc are down to the solar guys as far as I'm concerned, its them that are making the big bucks on this job. I've connected it up so its finished for handover.
