Effective uptime O&M costs ROI

The obvious value is that more uptime for the plants increases their profitability and availability for both power generation

and compliance with state renewable portfolio standards.(Bill Opalka,RenewablesBiz Daily)

The three key aims of an effective O&M strategy: to reduce costs while improving availability and increasing productivity.

By collecting information from inverters including status and performance, SolarMAN external data loggers make the long-term

monitoring of PV systems feasible and efficient.

By connecting with single or multiple inverters through RS485/422/232 interface, the data logger can collect information of PV

systems from inverters. In addition, SolarMAN Portal can provide powerful data support for users. Data collected by the data

logger can be transmitted to the monitoring portal via Ethernet, WiFi, GPRS and Zigbee, etc. Both real-time and historical data can

be displayed with transparent graphs. Customized alerts can notify users of any malfunction or defect immediately via SMS and

emails.

Furthermore, an independent web server is integrated in the

data logger, which enables users to directly connect to the WiFi

Access Point of the data logger and to check the performance

and yield of the inverter even without any outer network.

SolarMAN GPRS Kit is suitable for standalone plants or buildings

where no network connection is available. A GPRS module is

integrated in the data logger, and with a valid SIM card, the data

logger can transmit data via mobile network.

As the strategic partner of China Mobile, SolarMAN can provide

users of GPRS data logger with the most cost-effective global

roaming SIM cards which support GPRS data roaming in almost

all countries around the world. We will provide the most

favorable tariff and the best package for users to ensure the long-
