PV plant monitoring with SINVERT WebMonitor

SINVERT WebMonitor for monitoring photovoltaic plants

SINVERT WebMonitor is a Web application for monitoring photovoltaic plants in which SINVERT inverters are used (see graphic on page 18).

It is used for transmitting the states of the photovoltaic plant, for displaying production and income, or optionally for reporting any problems that arise.

SINVERT WebMonitor MobileApp

With the MobileApp of the SINVERT WebMonitor, it is possible to call up the current and historical data of the selected photovoltaic plant remotely at any time using a smartphone or tablet computer.

The key features of SINVERT WebMonitor are:

Clear user interface layout provides a quick overview of managed plants, subplants and inverters in a tree structure.

Overview page (dashboard) and plant page provide instant, up-to-date information about all key aspects of the plants, subplants and inverters, e.g. states, energy production (daily energy, total energy) and income.

Fault lists are provided to speed up and simplify troubleshooting and to ensure that remedial measures can be quickly taken to minimize loss of earnings.

Graphics with configurable content provide users with quick visual access to customized displays of received and/or calculated data, sorted according to day, month, year and total.

Users can configure monitoring settings

(e.g. "daily energy deviation") and activate messaging services (e.g. by e-mail) according to individual require- ments to receive information about plant status, energy production, income and irregularities.

User profiles can be defined so that plants and rights can be individually assigned to users.
