Eastron’s UL-Certified Smart Meter: Critical for Reliable Energy Monitoring in North American PV Systems

This abstract summarizes the explosive growth of North America’s PV market—driven by policy (U.S. IRA’s 30% ITC), rising energy costs, and 100% clean electricity goals—and the critical monitoring challenges it faces: power quality risks (harmonics, voltage fluctuations), data communication issues, and extreme temperature impacts. Eastron’s UL-certified SDM630MCT three-phase smart meter addresses these pain points with bidirectional metering (IMP&EXP), multi-parameter power quality monitoring, Modbus RS485 compatibility, a -40℃~+70℃ operating range, and 0.5s class accuracy. It ensures stable operation, avoids grid fines, and maximizes economic benefits for North American PV users, serving as a compliant, reliable solution for the market’s rapid expansion.
