Explore this requirementData needed at a solar site
Useful solar monitoring combines generation data, inverter status, irradiance, weather conditions, cabinet temperature and communication health. Together these signals reveal underperformance faster than monthly billing data.
Connectivity choices
RS485 / Modbus is common between meters, inverters and weather sensors. A gateway then uploads data by 4G, Ethernet or LoRaWAN depending on site network conditions.
Operational outcomes
Operators can compare expected and actual yield, identify downtime, dispatch cleaning or repair work and report portfolio performance to customers or investors.
Equipment in the system
System design, software integration, PLC/SCADA programming and site installation responsibilities are agreed in the written project scope.
Data destination
Customer platform or an agreed third-party service

FAQ
What data is usually monitored at a solar site?
Common points include generation meter values, inverter status, irradiance, weather data, cabinet temperature, communication status and downtime alarms.
Can this work at remote sites without broadband?
Yes. A 4G LTE gateway is often used for remote PV sites, while RS485 / Modbus stays local between meters, inverters and weather sensors.
Can solar monitoring include its own power system?
Yes. For off-grid sensors or weather stations, SunGene can help specify solar panel, MPPT controller, LiFePO4 battery and enclosure requirements.
