Canton Fair Wrap-up | INHE Explores New Overseas Opportunities in Metering & Energy Storage

The 140th Canton Fair concluded successfully in Guangzhou on October 19. As a world‑leading provider of smart‑energy and power‑distribution metering solutions, INHE Group took part in the event with a complete solar‑storage integrated solution. It also exhibited full‑scenario smart metering & centralized meter‑reading systems and an energy‑storage product matrix covering 3‑125 kW full‑power range. During the five‑day exhibition, the company demonstrated its full‑chain technical strengths and commercial implementation capacity in metering and energy sectors to global buyers.

Centered on the theme “New‑quality Productivity · Shared Globally”, this Canton Fair saw high popularity in green low‑carbon and digital‑energy exhibition zones. Global energy transition is shifting from conceptual proposals toward real‑world deployment. Currently the global energy market faces three major challenges: inadequate grid reliability in emerging markets, with frequent power outages and voltage fluctuations driving up power consumption costs; low power‑digitalization levels, where manual meter‑reading and offline metering bring heavy operating costs and low efficiency in electricity‑fee management; fragmented distributed‑energy deployment lacking integrated metering‑and‑settlement capabilities, which prevents energy assets from realizing their full value.

Core Exhibition Solutions

Smart‑metering Solution: Building the Data Foundation for Energy Management

INHE Group displayed representative single‑phase & three‑phase smart meters together with the IHM‑5000 smart data concentrator. The single‑phase and three‑phase smart meters cover diverse voltage classes and installation scenarios. They support bidirectional metering, time‑of‑use tariff, event logging and anti‑tampering monitoring, meeting differentiated metering requirements of power utilities for residential, commercial and distribution‑transformer‑area applications. The IHM‑5000 smart data concentrator collects, caches and uploads on‑site data, supporting multiple communication protocols and protocol conversion to ensure stable and timely data transmission from massive end‑devices.

Built on hardware terminals, INHE Group's AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) enables power‑data collection, remote meter reading, load monitoring and electricity‑fee administration. Compatible with international metering & communication standards, it supports flexible on‑premises and cloud deployment and can interface with existing billing, customer‑service and operation‑maintenance systems of power companies. It delivers end‑to‑end integrated metering‑management capabilities.

Targeting power operators worldwide, this solution addresses overseas pain points such as high manual meter‑reading costs, difficult electricity‑fee collection and insufficient power‑data visibility. Remote automatic meter‑reading and load monitoring cut manual OPEX; prepaid functions and remote power on/off improve fee recovery. Comprehensive data pipelines supply inputs for line‑loss analysis, demand‑side response and grid planning, delivering proven metering infrastructure for grid digital transformation.

Energy‑storage Solution: Three New‑generation Hybrid‑inverter Products Launched

At the fair, INHE Group globally released three new low‑voltage hybrid energy‑storage inverters for single‑phase and three‑phase applications: 12 kW single‑phase HI‑12K‑SL3, 20 kW single‑phase HI‑20K‑SL and 30 kW three‑phase HI‑30K‑TL. These models support maximum battery charge‑discharge currents of 240 A, 400 A and 600 A respectively and are compatible with various lithium‑battery clusters for higher energy‑charge‑discharge efficiency.

The full product series supports seamless on‑grid/off‑grid switching, multi‑unit parallel expansion and coordinated solar‑storage dispatching, adapting to weak‑grid and off‑grid remote micro‑grid environments. The 12 kW model targets residential households and small shops for backup‑power supply and peak‑valley arbitrage. The 20 kW and 30 kW models serve small‑and‑medium‑sized commercial‑industrial users to reduce peak power costs and mitigate power‑outage risks. Flexible OEM / ODM cooperation options are available. INHE Group provides customized adaptation covering appearance design, communication protocols and management platforms to satisfy local compliance and channel requirements across global markets.

Together with the exhibited 3‑125 kW full‑range energy‑storage portfolio, INHE Group now delivers complete solutions for residential, small‑to‑medium commercial‑industrial and large‑scale micro‑grid projects.

In‑depth Negotiations: Supporting Solutions Recognized by Overseas Clients

INHE Group exhibited not two independent product lines but combinable deliverable capabilities. The smart‑metering solution handles power‑data acquisition, monitoring and settlement, while the energy‑storage solution undertakes electric‑energy storage, dispatching and utilization. For overseas EPC contractors and power operators advancing distributed‑energy and distribution‑grid upgrades, sourcing energy‑storage hardware and metering systems from one single supplier lowers multi‑vendor coordination costs and facilitates unified adaptation of subsystem protocols and management platforms.

Over five exhibition days, INHE Group held in‑depth talks with clients and partners from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and other key markets. Discussions covered grid renovation, residential solar‑storage and commercial‑industrial energy‑storage projects, yielding multiple preliminary cooperation intentions.

The Canton Fair outcomes mirror INHE Group's global‑market footprint. To date, INHE Group's products have been shipped to more than 80 countries and regions. Sustained growth for metering, grid‑equipment, software and energy‑storage businesses across emerging markets stems from in‑house R&D strengths and mature local‑service systems. Proprietary technologies enable product customization complying with local grid standards. Localized sales‑and‑delivery networks rapidly respond to differentiated demands of overseas utilities and EPC projects. Going forward, INHE Group will leverage its multi‑product‑line advantages, seize global energy‑transition and grid‑digitalization opportunities, and deliver power equipment and solutions tailored for local conditions for international clients.
