Remote energy meter reading hardware for buildings, solar sites, cabinets and distributed assets.
Hardware in this guide
Representative product-family images. The exact model, interfaces and enclosure are confirmed in the written quotation.
Need hardware recommendations for this problem?
Send the measured signals, alarm rules, site power and communication constraints. We will return a hardware configuration for quotation.
Problem to solve
Manual energy reading delays billing, troubleshooting and efficiency analysis. A meter reading path should define meter type, communication and data ownership.
Measurements that matter
- kWh and demand
- Voltage, current and power factor
- Meter online status
- Optional alarm thresholds
Suggested hardware configuration
- RS485 or wireless energy meter
- CT or direct-connect meter option
- Gateway or NB-IoT path
- MQTT/API/EMS data export
Typical Hardware Architecture
Final system design, software integration, PLC/SCADA programming and site installation are handled by the customer or their system integrator.

FAQ
What does SunGene need before quoting Remote Energy Meter Reading?
Please provide phase and current range, meter count, panel layout, backend data format and reading interval. These inputs determine the sensor, gateway, power and integration path.
Is this a software-only service?
No. SunGene supplies sensors, gateways, field connectivity hardware and documented data-handoff interfaces for the buyer or integrator. Software-platform configuration and operation are outside the standard hardware scope.
Can SunGene support custom configuration if needed?
Yes, after the hardware configuration, certificates, sample quantity and documentation scope are clear.
Which technologies are usually considered?
The typical shortlist includes Energy meter, RS485, NB-IoT, 4G LTE, MQTT. Final selection depends on site constraints and target country requirements.
