How can I engage the inverter’s power management functions?

All of our inverters have some basic power management functions by default since they’re usually required by local power grid regulations.

You can increase the power management function with one of our data loggers. After the installation of a data logger, you can log in to our app, our web server, or our cloud service to set the active/reactive power value, the fixed power factor, or the reactive power curve to control power.

It is possible to send instructions to the inverter and control the power output in real time using a third-party control device like a radio ripple control receiver (RRCR) or a demand response enabling device (DRED) connected to AiComm.

For more details, please refer to the user manual for your specific inverter, or contact your local technical support team for guidance.

How do I select the right Solplanet data logger for my installation?

Solplanet has several data logging solutions suitable for use on a variety of PV installations.

If you have a residential installation, our Wi-Fi stick could be your perfect option. It installs on the bottom of the inverter housing using a quick plug-in connection and can support one inverter.

If your installation is larger, perhaps a commercial or industrial setup, your best option might be an AiComm. It too installs on the outside of the inverter housing, but it connects to a router via WiFi and can support up to five inverters.

Contact your local Solplanet team for assistance in choosing which data logger is right for you.

Do Solplanet inverters support third-party data loggers?

Yes, Solplanet inverters support third-party data loggers like Solarlog, Meteocontrol, and Solarman. For large-scale PV installations, we can offer our protocol to a third party to be used to develop their own customized monitoring solution.

Does the AISWEI Cloud provide weather data?

No, the AISWEI Cloud does not obtain or record weather data like irradiation levels, temperature, or wind speed. If you need to monitor the weather to support your PV installation, you can either purchase an independent weather station or use a third-party solution (like Solarlog, Meteocontrol, and Solarman).

Can I install an AiComm in an outdoor environment?

Yes, you can. However, because of outdoor weather conditions, an AiComm must be installed within an IP65-rated enclosure.

Can I use a computer without an internet connection to monitor my Solplanet inverter?

No, our inverters do not support local monitoring. Our monitoring solutions (either a GPRS stick, WiFi stick, or AiComm) upload inverter data to the Solplanet Cloud and that requires a stable and reliable internet connection. If required, we can supply our communications protocol to our customers so they can develop their own monitoring systems.

Where will my data be stored?

Your privacy is one of our top concerns and we take it very seriously. Once you permit us to collect your data, it will be stored in compliance with privacy laws in your country.

If you have concerns about how we collect and store your data, please don’t hesitate to contact your local Solplanet team.
