Solar power monitoring systems
Mersen has identified specific needs for universal and high-quality monitoring systems. These needs are related to PV installations in industrial and commercial fields and large solar farms as well.
Mersen has identified specific needs for universal and high-quality monitoring systems. These needs are related to PV installations in industrial and commercial fields and large solar farms as well.
Mersen has designed a set of electronic cards for monitoring. At the core is the main electronic card, capable of monitoring six strings, making it possible to detect problems as they occur by spotting their precise location in the string. Auxiliary cards can be added in order to monitor up to 30 strings in total.
Edouard Guillaume, product manager states: “The main card and four additional auxiliary cards can be installed in Mersen's HelioProtection junction boxes to monitor solar panel strings. The benefits include proactive maintenance, an increase in the power performance of the system (an improved rate of energy actually produced compared with theoretical energy production) and more secure return on investment, with greater profits and operational costs under control.”
