Theme Manager: Individual design of VCOM

You can now design the VCOM according to your own preferences. The new Theme Manager enables you to create an individual design containing your logo and the desired background image and colors. You can customize the standard design to meet your needs at any time. Individual designs can also be created for individual users. Give it a try - the possibilities are endless!

The new feature is now available to all partners in the premium service level.

blue’Log X series and WEB'log series: New functions


[Graphic: Blue line]

Maximum active power feed-in: 110% regulation from Sungrow

The following inverter types are capable of using all rated apparent power for active power feed-in. The nominal active power of these types is lower than the maximum apparent power. This must be taken into consideration during registration for grid connection. The park controller can interpret the 100% target value of the grid operator as 110% and achieve maximum active power feed-in as a result. This requires a declaration of consent from the grid operator.

  • SG50KTL-M
  • SG60KTL-M
  • SG60KU-M
  • SG33KTL-M
  • SG40KTL-M
  • SG60KTL
  • SG60KU
  • SG80KTL-M

Once the gird operator has expressed his or her consent, we will activate this feature for you when needed.

New compatibilities

The blue´Log X series now supports the following devices:

  • Sensor: Pyranometer Hukseflux SR30
  • Energy meters:
    Schneider power meter PM 800 series
    Siemens PAC 3200
  • Inverter: Schneider Conext CL 18/20/25 kVA

The WEB’log series now supports the following devices:

  • Inverter: Kaco blueplanet 15.0 TL3

The latest tips & tricks

Protect your PV system from outside access and regularly change the passwords of the data loggers. By doing so, you will optimally use the available protection options.

We want to provide you with the best-possible assistance in this area: Like we did for the VCOM, we are introducing a requirement to change the password during the initial login to the data logger for the blue’Log beginning with firmware version 1.8.3.

You will find more tips on IT security on our home page.

The focus will be placed on quality criteria and security aspects involving such areas as planning and execution as well operational experience regarding system yield and performance. The benefits of collected yield data will be discussed.
