Multi functional smart meters (such as supporting remote meter reading, prepaid, electricity monitoring, etc.): The price is relatively high, usually 300-800 yuan.
Industrial/commercial three-phase smart meters (such as three-phase four wire, live energy quality monitoring, etc.): The price is relatively high, 800-2000 yuan, or even more expensive.
2. Measurement method
Single phase electricity meter: used for ordinary households, generally 100-500 yuan.
Three phase electricity meter: used in factories and commercial places, priced at 500-2000 yuan.
3. Communication method
Ordinary electric meter (without remote function): cheaper price.
Smart meters with communication capabilities (such as RS485, LoRa, NB IoT, Wi Fi, 4G): will be more expensive, typically 20% -50% more expensive than regular meters.
4. Manufacturer and brand
Domestic and foreign brands have different prices. Relatively low prices and reliable quality.
5. Procurement quantity
Single purchase: High retail price.
Bulk procurement (such as property, factory, government projects): Enjoy discounts and a significant decrease in unit price.
Overall, smart meters are not too expensive. The price of single-phase smart meters for ordinary household users is generally around 100-500 yuan, while the price of three-phase smart meters for industrial and commercial users is relatively high, possibly reaching 800-2000 yuan or even more.
If you need to purchase, it is recommended to choose the appropriate model based on actual needs (home/factory/commercial), functional requirements (whether remote meter reading is required, prepaid), and budget.
