PV View Plus

Delivering the most advanced portfolio of monitoring and management solutions.

PV View^® Plus is an on-demand monitoring service that allows customers to use an internet connection to retrieve information about the operation of their utility tied photovoltaic system from anywhere in the world. Benefits of using PV View Plus include easy integration, alerts and faults notification, faster problem resolution and higher system uptime. Installers, as well as end users, can have accounts in the system and have visibility into their respective sites.

Standard Features:

In the standard offering, PV View Plus provides the ability to monitor the following information from the inverter within an accuracy of +/- 5%:

• DC Input Voltage from PV array
• DC Input Power from PV array
• DC Input Current from PV array
• AC Phase Current from inverter (average)
• AC Voltage from inverter (average)
• AC Real Power from inverter
• Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly and Cumulative Energy Production

Additionally, email alert notifications of inverter faults and warnings can be sent to the end customer as well as Satcon® technicians to ensure fast resolution.

• Boosts total system power production by 5-12%
• Lowers overall balance of system costs by 20-25%
• Reduces installation time & expense
• Enables string level power optimization & centralized total system management
• Delivers advanced grid interconnection & utility control capabilities
• Increases system uptime, safety & reliability

With its sophisticated central command and control center, Solstice reacts to changing conditions with remarkable speed providing the industry's first complete power harvesting and management solution for utility class power plants.

PV View Plus also gives you the ability to monitor additional system information with these optional accessories. With the Weather Station, users can view the following site specific information useful for calculating expected system performance:

• Irradiance
• Wind speed
• Wind direction
• Ambient temperature
• Photovoltaic cell temperature

The Revenue Grade Power Meter provides data with greater accuracy (+/- 2%), including:

• Energy Production
• Inverter AC Voltage output
• Inverter AC Current output
• Inverter AC Power output
• AC Line Power Factor

With the Combiner/PV Zone option, DC Current of each sub-array can be monitored and displayed in the web page Detailed System View. With the Smart SubCombiner (SSC), string level currents can be monitored:

• Up to 10 Amp DC current sensing for each module string
• 12 string capability per combiner

With the Solstice system, string level currents and voltages can be monitored, including:

• String DC input current and voltage to Solstice Subcombiners (SSBs)
• String DC output current and voltage from Solstice Subcombiners (SSBs) to Solstice inverter
