Real-time monitoring of solar power stations

Hoymiles Power Electronics Inc., a leading manufacturer of microinverters, has recently unveiled the all-new S-Miles Cloud Platform for real-time visualized monitoring of solar power generating equipment. Key field equipment can be connected to the S-Miles Cloud Platform. With the IoT-supported data collection devices, the platform can track the output effectiveness of solar arrays, provide status updates on individual modules and notify of any malfunctions.

Accessible as a mobile app or via a web browser, the S-Miles Cloud Platform offers a portal to effectively maintain solar power stations. Through the user-friendly installation process, integrating the Platform into an existing array can be quick and easy. The newly upgraded platform features a clean and simple dashboard interface which was designed with end-users in mind to allow for clearer visual data displays and additional options for in-depth analysis. The upgrade also includes a real-time progress tracking feature for hardware updates, which displays a progress bar and provides detailed explanations of any errors that occur.

Supporting the improved end-user display is an optimized technical structure that collects, analyzes and distributes data. The upgraded S-Miles Cloud Platform can now offer synchronized data analysis, and in being a cloud-based application, data processing is completed through parallel computing architecture which allows for optimal usage of all CPUs within the cluster and supports an open application programming interface for cross-platform communications, data sharing and remote operation via TCP socket connection. The Platform is also compatible with Hoymiles’ newest and most advanced hardware offerings of the DTU-Pro, DTU-Lite and new Sub-1G version microinverters.

Through the standardization of data across a power station, operators can make more accurate data-driven decisions regarding onsite operations that enable optimized energy output. The new S-Miles Cloud Platform not only provides accurate and timely status reports but also includes new indicators to display self-generated energy inputs and output for the solar station, to more clearly map overall power generation status.
