3G–4G upgrade

With the shutdown of the 3G network in Australia now well underway, relevant telco carrier services are already deteriorating. This means that your current 3G Solar Analytics energy monitoring device will no longer work as early as Dec 2023 for some networks.

We’re here to help make the transition to a Wattwatchers 4G-ready Auditor 6M meter as smooth as possible.

 

Offer available until Friday, December 15th 2023. 

 

We’ll keep your Solar Analytics app running smoothly, so you can be sure your solar is working as it should.

Did you know that Wattwatchers manufactures all of Solar Analytics’ meters? That’s right, your new device will be identical to your old one, except it has a 4G-modem to keep you connected to the mobile network.

Your new 4G device is only $199, including GST and shipping (KR-63 devices only). We’ll ship your device with comprehensive instructions for your choice of qualified electrician to install.

You can also get an optional high-gain antenna for $77 incl. GST to boost connectivity in your area. It comes with a cable so you can fit it to the outside of your switchboard/meter box.

This offer is only available until Friday, December 15, the same day that Vodafone is turning off its 3G service followed by Telstra next June and then Optus next September. 

Thank you for choosing Wattwatchers! We’re excited to power you and the Solar Analytics app for many years to come!
