Mersen PV String Monitoring Solution
The goals of PV String Monitoring
– For the investor: to measure energy produced and forecasted revenues
– For the operator: to detect defects for maintenance
But most existing systems have huge limitations
• Precision is not good enough at inverter level
• Monitoring systems are proprietary
• Data interpretation is not easy
Need for high quality universal monitoring systems
3
Pro-active maintenance
Optimized PV installation performance
Secured ROI, predictive revenues and reduced OPEX
Mersen PV String Monitoring Solution
The advantages of string level monitoring
– Detection of problems as soon as they appear
– Precise localization of problems in the PV installation

Mersen PV String Monitoring Solution
Features and Benefits– Built-in Power Supply – Take power directly from the PV string.
Eliminates the need to purchase and install a separate power supply to power the monitoring device
– Accuracy – 0.5% precision
– Voltage and Current Measurement – Additional voltage measurement provides a greater level of detail and is required by some integrators
10
Mersen PV String Monitoring Solution
Features and Benefits– Flexible 6-String Device – Allows for greater flexibility (can be
configured for 6, 12, 18, 24 or 30 string boxes)
– Integrated Bus Bar – Combines strings into 1 or 2 outputs based on ampere rating. Eliminates the need for separate comb bus bar
– Increased Functionality – Option to connect up to 8 external sensors (anemometer, thermometer, sun sensor, etc…)
