In the solar sector, Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. is a well-known brand that specializes in inverter solutions for utility-scale, commercial, residential, and industrial projects. Sungrow was founded in 1997 and is the world’s leading supplier of inverter solutions in the renewable energy sector, with over 79 GW of inverter deliveries.  The company offers advanced PV plant technology and energy storage systems in addition to inverters.

The COM100E, COM100D, Logger1000A, and Logger1000B data recorders from Sungrow can monitor up to 30 devices and link to the iSolarCloud web platform. Three RS485 inputs and four analog inputs (supporting 4–20 mA or 0–10 V signals) are included with every logger. One analog sensor can be connected to each analog input, and one weather station can be connected to each RS485 port. While COM100E and Logger1000B provide Ethernet and WLAN connectivity, COM100D and Logger1000A enable Ethernet, 4G, and WLAN.

What are the components of Sungrow Weather Station?

Irradiance, module temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, and ambient temperature sensors are the standard components of a Sungrow weather station.

  • Irradiance Sensor or PV Pyranometer, with Modbus RTU output, that measures radiation, is also used as a Reference Cell due to its high measuring accuracy. Taking into consideration that the use of this PV Pyranometer is crucial for measurement in solar applications. It has also up to five input ports for additional sensors, and an output port connected to the Sungrow Datalogger via a RS485 cable.
  • Module Temperature Sensor measures the back of module temperature, used in the calculation of the Performance Ratio of the PV Plant.
  • Wind Speed Sensor, also known as Anemometer, is used to measure wind speed in solar power plants, and to provide the data to the Sungrow Datalogger.
  • Relative Humidity & Ambient Temperature Sensor is a transmitter used to measure the relative humidity and ambient temperature
  • Wind Direction Sensor is used for monitoring the direction of the wind and providing the data obtained to the Datalogger.

What is the Sungrow’s Monitoring Platform?

Sungrow’s monitoring platform, iSolarCloud, provides consumers with a detailed picture of the functioning of their PV system. The inverter receives the electricity produced by the solar panels. The purpose of the inverter is to transform the direct current (DC) generated by the panels into alternating current (AC) so that your gadgets can use it. The weather station and the inverters can be linked to the data recorders when utilizing the iSolarCloud monitoring system. In order to monitor solar energy output, this enables communication between the weather stations and the inverters and the iSolarCloud server.

The system is adaptable and compatible with a wide range of solar configurations. Additionally, it works with iOS and Android smartphones. Users can check the following using iSolarCloud:

  • Self-consumption and energy production;
  • Real-time and total power output
  • Graphs, charts, and historical comparisons
  • Alerts, setup details, and device statuses

This configuration, which combines SEVEN’s precise sensors with Sungrow’s dependable loggers, provides a useful, effective method of confidently monitoring solar energy installations.
