ConnectDER Highlights Standardized Meter Socket Adapter Process Ahead of DISTRIBUTECH 2026

ConnectDER has shared an update. The company announced its participation in DISTRIBUTECH 2026 at the San Diego Convention Center, where it will be exhibiting at booth #4746. ConnectDER plans to highlight its standardized review and approval process for customer-owned Meter Socket Adapters (MSAs), including testing and certification summaries, a standardized evaluation framework, installation and implementation best practices, and FAQs on field procedures. The company’s VP of Policy and Market Strategy will engage with attendees on utility best practices for MSA adoption.

For investors, this presence at a major utility and grid technology conference underscores ConnectDER’s strategy to position its MSA technology as a standard interface between utilities and customer-owned distributed energy resources, such as solar and other clean energy assets. By emphasizing standardized processes and certification, the company is targeting a key barrier to utility adoption: risk and compliance concerns around third-party devices on the grid edge. If utilities increasingly adopt these standardized MSAs, ConnectDER could benefit from expanded deployment volumes, recurring hardware and potential services revenue, and stronger relationships with utility decision-makers. The focus on best practices and field procedures may also enhance the company’s reputation as a technically credible and compliant partner in grid modernization and distributed energy integration, potentially improving its competitive position in the growing clean energy infrastructure market.
