SolarEdge GSM cellular kit for solar monitoring

SolarEdge is now offering a GSM cellular kit that includes a pre-installed SIM card with a data plan. The product enables PV internet connectivity to enhance monitoring and PV asset management.

Typical communication strategies require installers to enter the premises for set-up and then for the system owner to maintain that connection via their router throughout a system’s lifetime. Both of these requirements can be burdensome. The GSM cellular kit is said to simplify the set-up of solar monitoring connections by eliminating the need to access the premises, speeding up installation times and reducing installation costs of the installer, while also removing the requirement for the system owner to maintain router connectivity.

Suitable for locations without internet access or broadband infrastructure, the GSM cellular kit includes a GSM network card combined with a pre-installed SIM card including a five-year data plan. The kit can be used in combination with any single-phase SolarEdge inverter, including SolarEdge’s StorEdge solutions, to provide online PV, battery and consumption monitoring.
