Payment systems are a convenient credit management system applied to gas and electricity customers. As energy utilities receive payments for energy supply in advance, these are popularly known as ‘pay as you go’ or ‘pre-paid’ metering systems.

These systems comprise smart meters, in-home display units, communication network and a vending software. They are ideal for deployment in residential town ships, malls and as sub-tenant metering in single point distribution connections. These systems are also capable of registering consumption of mains and DG supply separately and manage complex tariff structure especially in case of electricity metering.

Energy meters are generally co-located away from consumer access in residential apartments, malls. Hence in-home display unit installed in a consumers’ living space, connected to their meters, helps them understand their consumption patterns, enabling them to reduce energy use and manage the credit.
