Direct marketing with the blue’Log X-Series


[Graphic: Blue line]

Remote Power Control (RPC)

The blue’Log X-Series now provides all the functions you need for direct marketing from your PV system – regardless of its size. The solution fulfills the obligatory direct marketing guidelines that took effect January 1, 2016, for systems starting at 100 kilowatts – and it can also be realized for PV systems in the megawatt range.

The solution is quite easy to implement. You only need two enhancements for your present monitoring system:

  • The Remote Power Control license to activate direct marketing on your present blue‘Log product, plus a
  • VPN router for sending data to the direct marketer

  • feed-in management and direct marketing combined in one device
  • Usage of complete meteocontrol system monitoring with all features and benefits
  • Compatible with most providers of direct marketing
  • Easy link up to direct marketers thanks to an open and widely used standard interface (Modbus TCP)
  • Secure data communication with VPN encryption
  • Visualization and notification in the safer’Sun Professional portal and VCOM

VCOM: Innovation by Experience

Inverter heat map

As announced in December, we will be highlighting a VCOM innovation every month during 2016. In this issue of our newsletter, we are proud to present the inverter heat map which offers a new kind of data analysis.

The inverter heat map shows the standardized performance of all inverters used in a PV system over the course of a day. This enables you to quickly and easily identify reduced output caused by clouding, insulation problems in the inverters or other factors. Outages are also clearly displayed.

The graphical information is shown in the evaluation section of VCOM and in the safer’Sun portal under menu item "Analysis".
