Back to Ground-mounted systems

Your advantages

Low engineering and operating costs, thanks to intelligent automation solutions
Redundant and therefore failsafe networks
Standardized data transmission according to SunSpec® or IEC 61850
Fast engineering, thanks to dedicated function blocks

Networking

Network components for the safe operation of photovoltaic systems

Network your ground-mounted system quickly and easily with components from Phoenix Contact and create redundant and firewall-protected networks.

Irrespective of which transmission medium you use, we have the right network components for you to set up a failsafe communication solution. The basis for this includes the high-performance Gigabit switches, modems, and media converters.

Monitor and control

Continuously record and evaluate all data from the photovoltaic system

Operating large photovoltaic systems requires continuous monitoring and control at the segment level. Our data logger assumes this function and records all relevant data about the ambient conditions and the inverter status. This data is transmitted to a higher-level SCADA system in the central control room.

Automation and visualization

Irradiation curves of photovoltaic systems

Customer-specific visualization solutions for photovoltaic systems

Continuous control is the key to efficient photovoltaic park management. Phoenix Contact offers standard and customer-specific solutions for the automation and visualization of photovoltaic systems as well as innovative software products such as libraries for function blocks in accordance with IEC 61131. A variety of drivers for dataloggers and interfaces for inverters complete the overall package.

Data logging – For efficient operation of large-scale photovoltaic systems

To ensure effective system monitoring in large photovoltaic systems, the currents of individual strings are monitored. The resulting data volume is recorded by Phoenix Contact data loggers. Additional data from the inverter and weather sensors, such as shade, is also collected.
