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.
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.
