Solar PV Monitoring
Il problema
Rooftop and carpark PV systems use inverters from several brands, each with its own cloud, so the owner cannot compare yield against irradiance or spot an underperforming string in one place.
Panoramica della soluzione
MILESGO gateways collect data from PV inverters, electricity meters, weather stations over Modbus RTU / Modbus TCP, and deliver it to a cloud platform (MQTT), the energy management system, the BMS as MQTT / Modbus TCP / BACnet/IP. Field equipment keeps its own protocol and control logic; integration is done by configuration and point mapping, not custom code.
Typical scope
- PV inverters
- electricity meters
- weather stations
Protocol path
Modbus RTU / Modbus TCP → MQTT / Modbus TCP / BACnet/IP
Implementation checklist for the project manager
- Any set-point control of PV or storage must follow the grid-connection requirements; start with monitoring only.
- Collect register maps and protocol documents from every equipment vendor early; a missing map is the most common delay.
- Devices on one serial channel must share protocol and communication parameters; group them per channel at design time.
- Outdoor sites need a weatherproof, ventilated enclosure with surge protection; the gateways are panel-mount devices (working range -20 °C to +70 °C).
- Check 4G signal and the SIM data plan at every site before committing to cellular backhaul.
- Confirm local storage so data survives network outages, and define the retention period.
Project deliverables
- Signed point table and protocol mapping
- Gateway configuration files and backups
- IP address plan and network drawing
- FAT and SAT test records
- As-built documentation and operator training
Architettura del sistema
Field layer: PV inverters, electricity meters, weather stations, connected over Modbus RTU / Modbus TCP. Edge and integration layer: MILESGO protocol gateways and edge controllers, mounted on DIN rail in existing panels, polling each device, time-stamping values and buffering them locally. Upper layer: a cloud platform (MQTT), the energy management system, the BMS, which receives the data as MQTT / Modbus TCP / BACnet/IP. Remote access for maintenance runs over VPN rather than open internet ports.
