PV monitoring is becoming increasingly important. After all, photovoltaics is the most widely used application today for replacing traditional power plants. However, photovoltaic plants need to be monitored and maintained in order to reduce the electricity production costs (levelized cost of electricity/LCOE) of the plants. Our solutions for PV monitoring allow you to precisely monitor your PV plants – with low manual effort required for monitoring, servicing, and maintenance. This ensures that your investments aren’t left unattended.
With our solutions for PV monitoring, you can detect anomalies early on, allowing you to improve the LCOE and ROI (return on investment) of your plant. Use your available resources as efficiently as possible and trust in our reliable solutions for PV monitoring!

Weidmüller PV string monitoring system & weather stations
With our solutions for photovoltaic monitoring, you’ll increase the electricity yield of your PV plants, optimizing electricity production costs (LCOE) and the performance ratio (PR) and return on investment (ROI) of your system. In addition, our products enable the ongoing monitoring of individual PV strings or string groups. This minimizes downtime and energy losses. With our solutions for PV monitoring, you can cut costs and expand your systems on a large scale.
As well as data capture in the plant itself, a good PV monitoring system includes data visualization, analysis, further processing, and plant control. To be able to offer you a complete solution, we’ve made our products compatible with those of leading monitoring and SCADA system and data logger providers. These include Meteocontrol, Solare Datensysteme GmbH, GreenPowerMonitor, PV Hardware and Axis. As a result, our PV monitoring solutions are the true all-around choice. Keep an eye on how your plants are performing at all times – with our solutions for PV plants!
To ensure our solutions offer the complete package you need, we also offer the right complements to our products for PV monitoring. You decide exactly which extras your PV plant needs. For floating PV systems, for example, we offer DC combiner boxes that can protect and monitor your DC strings appropriately even in extreme conditions. Or you might want to connect your photovoltaic plants with our PV communication boxes to secure the industrial communication of your plants. Whatever you need, you’ll find the ideal complement to your PV plants in our portfolio!
We want to provide you with as much information as possible about our products in order to ensure the safe installation and handling of our PV monitoring systems. You can download guides for our systems here. Find out about revision processes, installations and maintenance. Your safety and the safety of your PV plants always come first for us! If you have further questions not answered by our documents, please do not hesitate to contact us.
