SYSTEM MONITORING<br />

Continuous system monitoring is recommended, or even essential,<br />

for obtaining the absolute maximum performance from<br />

your solar energy system at all times. <strong>Steca</strong> offers you a number<br />

of different system monitoring methods:<br />

local visualisation, remote querying or remote monitoring.<br />

Local visualisation is sufficient when the operator regularly<br />

checks the data on the display unit of the inverter or via a connected<br />

PC or Laptop.<br />

Remote system querying is more convenient. The internal data<br />

logger can display all system data via the HTML user interface.<br />

With the <strong>Steca</strong><strong>Grid</strong> Portal system data can be accessed online<br />

from anywhere. The data logger sends the system data to an<br />

external database. The operator can then log in to this database<br />

and not only analyse his or her data but can also compare the<br />

data with regional irradiance values. This thus provides the operator<br />

with an objective impression of the effectiveness of his or<br />

her <strong>PV</strong> system.<br />

The most professional method is remote monitoring via an external<br />

data logger: The data logger monitors the functions of<br />

the system components and reports faults. Beyond this it stores<br />

all relevant system data.<br />
