SUNNY WEBBOX

The professional data logger

Plant monitoring, remote diagnosis, data acquisition and visualization: The Sunny WebBox is the communication center of your solar power station. It continually collects all data regarding the inverter on the system side. Thus you can always be informed of the current status of your system.

The WebBox is the right choice for ambitious PV system operators, who would like to have interruption-free documentation of their system data. Even from remote locations, where no DSL or telephone connection is available, the PV system can display its measurement data on the Sunny Portal via the optional GSM modem.
