Photovoltaic park management

Operating large photovoltaic systems requires continuous monitoring. Our data loggers record all relevant data concerning the ambient conditions as well as the state of the PV strings and the inverter.

The controller detects the parameters at the grid connection. The manipulated variables are calculated based on the grid operator’s specifications and are transferred to the inverters. Using this closed-loop control circuit, the PV power station performs the grid-support functions for connecting medium or high voltage.

Our weather station features a comprehensive range of environmental sensors that can be connected directly to our control system via Modbus. We are therefore able to provide you with a compact weather data acquisition system in your solar park tailored precisely to your requirements.

SOLARWORX contains software libraries for PC Worx which are specifically designed for the implementation of photovoltaic projects.

Among other things, these libraries include ready-to-use driver modules for communication with all common types of inverters. To keep the engineering outlay for the startup of photovoltaic systems to a minimum, we are constantly developing new drivers and function blocks for the connection of environmental sensors and for photovoltaic tracking systems.

As someone who plans and installs photovoltaic systems, you want to achieve maximum yield with your system. The string combiner boxes (SCBs) from Phoenix Contact combine important functions for increasing system performance in a compact, space-saving housing.

The boxes collect and distribute string currents, protect individual modules against damage from lightning and overvoltages, and monitor the performance of the system. Depending on your requirements, you can choose between the SCB with standard string fuse and the particularly compact SCB with string fuse outside the control box.
