The commercial gateway is an all-in-one communication gateway, expanding the SolarEdge systems monitoring and control capabilities.
It connects to SolarEdge inverters, environmental sensors, and meters, and transfers monitoring data to the SolarEdge monitoring platform
and optionally, to a third-party data logger. The commercial gateway also has a power reduction interface that can control the
SolarEdge inverters' power..
Environmental sensors are used to monitor a sites irradiance, temperature, and wind velocity, and to calculate site performance ratio (PR).
The sensors connect to the commercial gateway and the measurements are displayed in the monitoring platform. Up to three sensors
can be connected to a single commercial gateway.Additional sensors can be installed using multiple gateways.
The Irradiance Sensor
is a high-quality solar cell that measures solar irradiance levels for commercial PV systems. The sensor's irradiance output signal is
0 to 1V covering a 0 to 1000W/m2 range
The Ambient Temperature Sensor measures the temperature of the sites immediate surroundings, with a measurement signal of 0 to 10V covering a -40 to +90°C range
The Panel Temperature Sensor measures the temperature at the back of the PV panel, with a measurement signal of 4 to 20mA covering a -40 to +90°C range
The Wind Sensor provides highly accurate and robust wind horizontal velocity measurements. Its sensor's output signal is 4 to 20mA covering a 0 to 50 m/s range
