Solar park management system: Record, visualize, and evaluate data automatically

Scalable concepts for photovoltaic parks of all sizes

From the field level right through to the visualization of data in a portal, we provide a scalable, standardized park management concept. The individual sub-components such as data loggers, feed-in controllers, weather stations, SCADA connection, and web portal intermesh seamlessly without requiring the adaptation of interfaces. This concept can be used for a wide range of system sizes and can be customized as needed. As a result, up to 90% of existing planning can be transferred when designing new systems, which saves a great deal of time and effort during the planning stages.

Support and consultation during planning

We provide an application-oriented analysis and consultation for seamlessly coordinated system solutions. Comprehensive process support from planning through to the fully assembled DIN rail during the first project establishes a solid foundation for the planning and construction of future solar parks.

Reliable, long-term system availability

Phoenix Contact has been a reliable supplier of products and solutions in industrial environments around the globe for many years. Thanks to our global sales network, we are able to react flexibly to the rapidly changing solar market. This enables us to ensure long-term availability of our locally produced components.

Quick connection of all solar park devices

Our solutions are preprogrammed and self-configuring. Once parameters have been configured, our ready-made functional building blocks can be seamlessly implemented because all park devices are detected automatically. This automatic implementation of all park devices greatly simplifies startup and saves time.

The system is thoroughly compatible with devices from other manufacturers such as inverters and sensors, as well as other park device systems.

Guaranteed energy yields

Our monitoring system for string currents in photovoltaic systems enables you to respond immediately to malfunctions and power losses, even in the event of individual string failures. Thanks to Hall-effect sensor technology, string currents can be easily and reliably monitored without interruption. String monitoring enables efficient operation, thanks to error detection that is precise to the second.

Open control platform

Our PLCnext Technology enables you to work flexibly with your preferred programming languages, whether IEC 61131-3 or high-level languages. This new generation of control technology provides you with unlimited flexibility, thanks to the quick and easy integration of open-source software and apps as well as current and future communication standards.

All of your solar park systems at a glance

With our intuitive, easy-to-use portal, you have the perfect overview of all your photovoltaic systems. All important data is clearly displayed in the portal. This makes operational management and maintenance considerably simpler while at the same time increasing system profitability. You can also compare the yields of all of your systems with the actual local solar radiation levels taken from satellite monitoring data.

Optimum service to prevent yield loss

The portal analyzes a large number of identical error messages automatically using intelligent algorithms. The error messages are listed according to urgency and severity in a message overview. This ensures that the service team only responds to events that could have a critical impact on the yield. This prevents unnecessary service calls and makes gradual yield losses a thing of the past.

System reports at the touch of a button

Automatically generated reports with all the relevant KPIs enable you to demonstrate the profitability of your system. The reports provide information on the most important system data and the system performance in relation to the static yield forecast. You can automatically send these reports as PDFs to your customers or investors via e-mail.
