Sub-Metering Solution
Smarter utility tracking and fairer billing for shared properties
GridStar’s Sub-Metering Solution helps property operators and residents monitor consumption, improve billing transparency, and gain better visibility into flat-wise and common-area energy usage.
Solution Flow
Overview
Built for apartments, communities, and shared properties that need clear utility allocation
GridStar’s Sub-Metering Solution helps property operators and residents gain better visibility into energy use across multiple units and shared facilities.
Main Meter & Submeters
Track total incoming power through the main meter while monitoring each flat, shop, common area, DG, EV load, or utility service separately with submeters.
Automated Data Collection
Readings are captured and transmitted automatically, reducing reliance on manual meter reading across the property.
AMI + Billing Engine
Consumption data flows into a connected billing engine to support resident-wise usage tracking, fair billing, and exception handling.
Admin & Resident Access
Management teams and residents can view consumption, bills, dues, payment history, and alerts through web and mobile access.
How It Works
From shared property metering to resident and admin visibility
A connected workflow helps management teams automate readings, calculate bills, and improve visibility for both administrators and residents.
01
Measure
The main meter records total incoming power, while submeters capture energy use for each flat, shop, common area, or connected load.
02
Collect
Readings are sent automatically from the site to the central system through a communication-enabled metering setup.
03
Calculate
The platform and billing engine process readings to generate usage visibility, bill trends, and resident-wise consumption data.
04
Manage
Admins and residents access dashboards, bills, dues, and alerts to improve transparency and reduce disputes.
Key benefits
Better transparency, fair billing, and simpler utility management
Fairer Billing
Bills are based on actual consumption, helping ensure more transparent cost sharing and fewer billing disputes.
Visibility Across the Property
Track flat-wise usage, common-area consumption, and other connected loads in one connected system.
Reduced Manual Effort
Automated reading collection reduces dependency on manual meter reading and repetitive administrative work.
Early Exception Detection
Identify stuck meters, no-read events, tampering concerns, or unusually high usage much earlier.
Improved Resident Experience
Residents can view usage, bill trends, dues, and payment history through simple digital access.
Better Administrative Control
Management teams get the visibility needed to handle billing, usage exceptions, and common-area monitoring efficiently.
