Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing load disaggregation, remote monitoring, and controlling a plurality of loads are provided. The apparatus may include a universal embedded metering and control system (UEMCS) and a universal storage and renewable energy interface (USREI). The UEMCS may include a main device engine, a communication module coupled to the main device engine, a multiplexer coupled to the main device engine, a plurality of current sensors coupled to the multiplexer, and at least one voltage sensor coupled to the main device engine. The USREI may be coupleable to at least one of the plurality of current sensors, coupled to at least one renewable energy source, and configured to provide energy output by the at least one renewable energy source to the UEMCS for output to at least one of the plurality of loads.
