SOLAR-LOG 300 Monitoring Data Logger, Max Power 15kW

SKU#: SolarLog 300

SOLAR-LOG 300 Monitoring Data Logger compatible with all the major inverters. Unlimited number of inverters from one manufacturer, maximum total power of 15 kWp. Free online monitoring. 5 Years Warranty.

The low cost failure and yield monitoring system for plants with a maximum power of 15 kWp. Includes alarm function and graphic evaluation on PC.

Plants size
The Solar-Log 300 can be installed in plants with a maximum total power of 15 kWp, regardless of the number of inverters. Therefore, this new model can monitor smaller plants with two or three inverters of the same manufacturers without any problems.

Using self-produced power
The Solar-Log 300 is available in the Solar-Log 300 meters version, which has an integrated electricity meter. This saves a considerable amount of installation time and costs.
The Solar-Log® Meter can monitor up to 2 individual or coupled three-phrase cables. Additional external electricity meters can be connected to the two S0 inputs. Small appliances such as freezers and laundry dryers can be monitored and controlled via a networked "smart plug", a device that fits on top of existing electrical outlets. The smart plugs measure the power consumption of the device connected to the socket and send this data to the Solar-Log®. As a result, every individual smart plug can be displayed in the graphic with the total consumption.

Feed-in management
Of course, power management has been taken into account with all of the new models. The intelligent management of the 70% regulation is rather attractive for small plants. The Solar-Log can help to further optimize the share of self-produced power. There is also an option to buy the Solar-Log 300 with the well-established Power Management function (PM+) for the connection to a ripple control receiver.

Free Online Monitoring
Solar-Log Web Classic 2nd Edition offers all of the basic functions for monitoring and analyzing status messages. The yields and reports are graphically presented. The ”Classic 2nd Edition“ is free of charge up to 30 kWp.

Functions

So small and yet so many functions: The Solar-Log 300 is a yield evaluation tool, an alarm system and a forecasting tool all in one device.

Connections

Inverters

The Solar-Log 300 is compatible with all the major inverters. It can be connected to an unlimited number of inverters from one manufacturer with a maximum total power of 15 kWp.

Sensors RS485

The sensors measure irradiation, temperature and wind speed. However, they cannot be combined with every inverter manufacturer.

Meter S0-in or RS485

The meter records your consumption data, can serve as an inverter or measures the power from incompatible inverters.

RS485 or S0-out

Connect large displays to obtain an overview of your data.

Ripple Control Receiver

The signal to reduce active power is generally sent via a Ripple Control Receiver. This can be connected directly to the Solar-Log 300 PM+ to control the power of the PV plant.

Solar-Log 300 USB connection and Data Export

A USB stick can be connected to manually install new firmwares with additional inverter support or new functions, or to transfer backups and other data.

Visualization

Solar-Log® WEB

The Solar-Log® WEB ”Commercial Edition“ online portal expands the monitoring function of the Solar-Log® and offers comprehensive monitoring reporting options in the form of graphs and tables via the internet.

lSolar-Log® APP

You can access your data and graphical reports at any time from anywhere in the world with the Solar-Log® APP.

Solar-Log® Dashboard

A feature with the WEB ”Commercial Edition“ is that the Dashboard displays all important information for a plant such as yields, CO2 savings and plant performance.

Solarfox® large display and external displays

A large display used in combination with the Solar-Log® can visually present the live data from a PV plant. You can also add personalized advertisements. External displays can be connected via the RS485 or S0 interface.

Accessing the Solar-Log®

The Solar-Log® is operated from a PC with any standard web browser and via the TFT display. Remote access is possible with the WEB ”Commercial Edition“.

Options

Solar-Log 300 GPRS

Solar-Log 300 GPRS is the alternative to an external GPRS modem, allowing the data logger to be connected to the data network simply and securely. A GPRS connection is especially suited to free-standing plants or buildings which do not have a usable internet connection available.

Solar-Log 300 WiFi

The Solar-Log 300 WiFi allows you to connect the Solar-Log® to any available WiFi network. This saves cables, installations time and reduces labor costs.

Solar-Log 300 Bluetooth

This data logger is equipped with a Bluetooth module and allows wireless connection to SMA BT inverters, up to a maximum of seven.

Solar-Log 300 PM+

The PM+ product line implements the feed-in and network safety management. It covers the entire spectrum of requirements for active and reactive power, e.g. the German Renewable Energy Law 2012 (EEG).

Solar-Log 300 Meter

The Solar-Log® Meter makes it possible to monitor a PV plant completely and to measure its power consumption with just one device. With 2 x 1 to 3-phase current measurements, it determines the active power for production and self-consumption.

Functions

Solar-Log® Easy Installation

The installation and initial setup start automatically. The inverter detection and the internet log-on starts immediately. The installation status is shown on the LCD display. Any subsequent manual configurations of the Solar-Log® can be performed conveniently from a PC via the WEB interface. Easy Installation is compatible with the Solar-Log® WEB ”Commercial Edition“ and ”Classic 2nd Edition“.

Self-consumption

The Solar-Log 300 offers the option to measure the amount of self-produced power consumed and to present it graphically via the Solar-Log® WEB. A digital power meter serves as a consumption meter. Thanks to the new Solar-Log® Meter, no additional electricity meter is needed as it is already integrated in the device.

Data security

The data volume from the Solar-Log® can be recorded for up to 20 years. The micro SD card is used to protect against any loss of data in the event of a power failure.
