The ArrayMeter is used to measure energy generated by a solar power plant. This meter is certified revenue-grade, meaning it is highly accurate to meet ANSI standards. Solar Data Systems designed the ArrayMeter to fulfill a specific need among solar plant installers, plant owners, financiers and PPAs.
The ArrayMeter can be sold at a very cost-effective price point because it provides just revenue-grade production metering. It fulfills many rebate and incentive program requirements . If you need a highly accurate measurement of solar power production, without the need for performance monitoring, then this is the solution for you!
Here are three ways that the ArrayMeter has simplified revenue-grade metering for the solar plant stakeholders.

2. Comes with Automatic Performance-Based Incentive Reporting with Multi-year Subscription Options
ANSI certification means that solar power production readings meet or exceed the accuracy required by most state and federal rebate programs, SREC/TRECs, performance-based incentives, and PPAs. The ArrayMeter is a targeted, ideal solution for hassle-free energy production reporting to these programs and organizations. Integrated current transformers measure the kWh production. The collected data is then transmitted to Solar Data Systems’ online monitoring software where it can be viewed remotely and automatically reported to the assigned agency.
Annual billing to end-users or plant owners can be a massive headache for solar installers and service providers. Subscription lengths of 5, 10 or even 15-year contracts can be purchased with the ArrayMeter. These subscription lengths eliminate the need to bill customers on a regular basis. Plus, the subscription length can be purchased to meet the length of the rebate or incentive program.
3. Fits the Common Meter Socket and uses Cellular Connectivity
When it comes to selecting components of a solar array, almost as important as reliability is ease of install. The split-phase and three-phase ArrayMeter fits Standard Form 2S and 16S meter sockets, respectively. Electricians commonly use these meter socket sizes which means that the onsite team is familiar with them.
The ArrayMeter comes with an internal 4G/LTE SIM card, eliminating the need to connect to onsite internet. Connectivity through cellular network supports plug and play installation. The meter begins working as soon as it is in and the system is powered on. Just a few clicks on the ArrayMeter portal or through the ArrayMeter app and production data is visible from anywhere.
Bonus Benefit! The three-phase ArrayMeter is immediately available, meaning no long waits for this product. These meters are in stock and can ship to you within 3 business days of an order placement.
