PV monitoring for medium-sized solar systems

Sentalis 200PV monitoring system Draker Labs’ new Sentalis 200PV monitoring system is a cost-effective solution for systems with an energy capacity of 50kW to 250kW. The turnkey system includes all monitoring hardware and a web interface for data management and reporting. In addition, Draker provides on-site support to assist in installing and commissioning the Sentalis 200PV monitoring system. At the heart of each Sentalis 200PV system is a base station that collects data from environmental sensors and an energy production meter. To prevent data loss in the event of a power outage, each base station includes a back-up battery power supply, as well as on-site, redundant data storage. The base station also includes a dedicated power supply and a simplified wiring panel to facilitate quick and safe installation. Data are transmitted from the base directly to Draker’s secure, offsite data servers for processing. To ensure that energy production is at peak efficiency, access performance data from the Sentalis web interface, which quickly displays a variety of historical and real-time performance metrics.
