New graphical information: Inverter performance ratio
As part of our innovation series, we present you the new graphic "Inverter PR" (performance ratio) as part of the March release. To evaluate the performance of individual inverters independently from weather conditions, the ratio of normalized energy to irradiance is measured.
To identify low-performance inverters more quickly, they are ranked in ascending order on the basis of their PR. The color coding used in the bars enables you to perform an initial evaluation of the inverters. The graphical information is shown in the evaluation section of VCOM and in the safer’Sun portal. Inverter PR can also be selected in the “system diagram” portlet in VCOM.
Automatic determination of the reporting intervals of data loggers
As a way of simplifying the set-up and alarming of systems, we have introduced another new feature: The reporting intervals of third-party systems has been automatically determined since February. A smart algorithm is used to monitor the systems' transmission behavior.
The reporting intervals are used as a parameter in the data logger's communications alarm. The value suggested by the system can be exceeded if necessary.
The blue’Log X-Series is now compatible with the following inverters and energy meters:
