String-Level Monitoring

Solar Link monitoring is compatible with leading sub-array level monitoring hardware devices. For retrofit installations with existing PV systems, we offer the Taiyo-Yuden SOLMIV™ wireless string monitoring system. SOLMIV™ is a “plug-n-play” solution that seamlessly integrates into each PV string without the need to power down the array or replace/modify existing equipment.

KEY FEATURES OF SOLMIV™ INCLUDE:

String Sensor Unit conveniently installs between any 2 solar modules on a string
One Management Unit measures up to 350 strings
1000V DC maximum system voltage
Low Power Consumption (SSU <500mW, MU <2000mW); No external power source required
Wireless communication protocol

ZERO Data-logging Monitoring Terminal

Solar Link ZERO is a renewable energy measurement and display system consisting of a compact monitoring terminal with integrated data logger, internet gateway, and web server. Powered by a CPU running Linux OS, this system is easy to install and scalable.

Solar Link ZERO Terminal can measure inverter output, battery status, revenue & consumption meters, weather stations, and other devices via two RS-485 and one RS-232C ports.

The data is then sent to Solar Link ARCH where it can be viewed remotely. ZERO Terminal also comes equipped with a DVI-D video output and customizable presentation software – please ask us about our Kiosk solutions for schools and other public buildings.
