2G meters will be phased out
Don't let the 2G sunset disrupt your business.
Will your business be prepared?
Your business relies on uninterrupted connectivity, but the 2G shutdown threatens to bring everything to a halt.
Following initial network migrations, remaining UK 2G infrastructures are being systematically decommissioned throughout 2026. If your system has not yet transitioned, your monitoring is actively at risk.
As the deadline approaches, more suppliers are expected to start implementing their 4G upgrade programs, creating a surge in demand for devices, installation services, and technical support.

The Meter Exchange Initiative FAQs
What happens when 2G is switched off for solar panels?
When the 2G network is switched off, any solar panel monitoring equipment installed that relies on 2G connectivity will no longer be able to communicate data remotely. Your solar panels will continue generating electricity, but you will lose access to automated monitoring and alerts until your system is upgraded to a 4G-compatible solution. Ecovision recommends scheduling an upgrade to maintain seamless system monitoring.
How does the 2G shutdown affect solar monitoring?
If you currently monitor your solar system with a 2G-enabled device, the shutdown means real-time data and remote diagnostics will be unavailable. Ecovision can help upgrade your monitoring equipment to a 4G solution, restoring online access and enabling smarter energy management.
Who can upgrade my solar system to 4G?
Ecovision’s team of qualified engineers and electricians are fully equipped to upgrade your solar monitoring system to a 4G-compatible model. Simply contact Ecovision’s support team to arrange an assessment and receive guidance on the best upgrade option for your system.
Are solar FiT payments affected by the 2G shutdown?
FiT (Feed-in Tariff) payments are not directly affected by the 2G shutdown. However, if your meter or monitoring device was submitting readings automatically via a 2G connection, you might need to submit readings manually until your equipment is upgraded. Ecovision can assist you with upgrading your system and advise on how to continue submitting correct readings during the transition.
How do I upgrade my FiT meter for the 2G shutdown?
Ecovision offers a comprehensive upgrade service for FiT meters affected by the 2G shutdown. Contact our customer support team to book an appointment. Our engineers will replace or retrofit your existing meter with a compliant, 4G-enabled device and provide guidance on communicating readings to your FiT provider.
Through our Device Replacement Plan, we maximise efficiency by aligning upgrades with existing site visits. We don’t just upgrade — our accelerated deployment prioritises remaining devices and prepares your infrastructure for tomorrow with 5G-compatible equipment, ensuring your systems remain reliable, scalable, and ready for the future.
