External Data Logger

By collecting information from inverters including status and performance, SolarMAN external data loggers make the long-term
monitoring of PV systems feasible and efficient.

By connecting with single or multiple inverters through RS485/422/232 interface, the data logger can collect information of PV
systems from inverters. In addition, SolarMAN Portal can provide powerful data support for users. Data collected by the data
logger can be transmitted to the monitoring portal via Ethernet, WiFi, GPRS and Zigbee, etc. Both real-time and historical data can
be displayed with transparent graphs. Customized alerts can notify users of any malfunction or defect immediately via SMS and
emails.

SolarMAN WiFi Kit is suitable for homes and office buildings

where WiFi network is available. A WiFi module is integrated in
the data logger, enabling data transmission via WiFi network.
No additional wiring or software is required, far simplifying
installation and reducing costs for users.

Furthermore, an independent web server is integrated in the

data logger, which enables users to directly connect to the WiFi
Access Point of the data logger and to check the performance
and yield of the inverter even without any outer network.

S-WE01S
SolarMAN GPRS Kit is suitable for standalone plants or buildings
where no network connection is available. A GPRS module is
integrated in the data logger, and with a valid SIM card, the data
logger can transmit data via mobile network.

As the strategic partner of China Mobile, SolarMAN can provide

users of GPRS data logger with the most cost-effective global
roaming SIM cards which support GPRS data roaming in almost
all countries around the world. We will provide the most
favorable tariff and the best package for users to ensure the long-
term and stable data acquisition from data loggers, therefore
ensuring continuous monitoring of PV systems.
