Optical probes, a crucial component in the realm of electricity metering, price often shroud themselves in mystery. This ambiguity might be attributed to the fact that metering optical probes primarily cater to a Business-to-Business (B2B) market. While some manufacturers transparently showcase list prices on their websites, a closer look reveals that certain products are seemingly overpriced.
Our mission is to demystify the pricing landscape and uncover the actual price of these optical probes.
Project Phase One: USB Optical Price
-
We initiated contact with various manufacturers to inquire about the pricing of their optical probes. Remarkably, all manufacturers responded promptly, with the exception of German Metering. We are diligently pursuing communication with German Metering and will provide updates as soon as we receive a response.
-
BlueSky, one of the manufacturers, presented their quotes in Euros. To enhance accessibility, we’ve included a USD equivalent based on the today’s exchange rate.
-
TESPRO is the only one does not list price on webpage. But they respond promptly after I send a email. TESPRO claim able to provide discount for bulk buy, the only one compare to all brands.
Stay tuned for further updates as we delve deeper into the intricacies of optical probe pricing, aiming to bring clarity to this vital aspect of the electricity metering industry.
