Get a quoteMost of manufacturers of inverters provide free portals and softwares that allow to monitor and control photovoltaic generators. This list presents some of them. FIMER inverters (ABB brand) solar inverters can be connected to different monitoring and control systems via a selection of fieldbus and interface adapters.
In this manner, the PV inverter operates similar to a fixed reactor bank, which, when switched on, provides a fixed amount of reactive power based on the reactive power capabaility de-signed for the bank. However, the PV inverter will continue to also inject a set amount of active power based on the current load of the system.
Given their lower accuracy, you can use passive trackers for simple PV systems – but not for much else. Passive solar trackers are also not as efficient in cold temperatures because the liquid inside the tracker usually takes time to heat up. As with any addition to a solar panel system, there are pros and cons to solar trackers.
