General Information
1 General Information
This user manual is intended to assist you in the operation of the Solar-Log™. The yield data from the So-
lar-Log™ can be displayed in several ways:
• via a web browser in a local network (LAN) (Chapter 2)
• via the display (touch screen: only Solar-Log 1000, 1200 and 2000) directly on the device (Chapter
4) or
• via the Internet (Chapter 6)
Our product documentation is being constantly updated and expanded.
The current versions of the documents can be downloaded from our website:
www.solar-log.com.
The descriptions in this manual refer to firmware version 3.5.3
Security informa-
tion!
Update the Solar-Log™ immediately to firmware 3.5.3 build 86 to protect it from
security risks and define a user password.
1.1 The necessary steps for precision monitoring of your PV plant with the
Solar-Log™
• Connecting and detecting inverters, refer to the "Inverter Connection Manual" and the "Configur-
ing Connected Devices" chapter in the Installation Manual.
• Refer to the chapter "Configuring Connected Devices" in the Installation Manual for the configura-
tion of inverters, generator power, MPP trackers and module fields.
• For configuring the notification function and status messages from the inverter, refer to the "Con-
figuring Notifications" chapter in the Installation Manual.
• For activating and configuring performance monitoring, refer to the "Configuring Connected De-
vices" chapter in the Installation Manual.
Note!
The Solar-Log needs a continuous supply of electricity to avoid data loss and to
ensure precision monitoring of the PV plant

2.1 Requirements
Information
For faster access, enter "solar-log" in the address bar of the web browser and
create a bookmark.
In a local network (LAN)
To operate the Solar-Log™ via a web browser, you will need to be on a computer that is connected to the
same local network (LAN). This computer will also need to have a modern web browser installed on it.
The Solar-Log™ unit also has to be connected to this network with the proper network settings.
Via the Internet
In addition to a computer with a web browser, you need an active Internet connection as well as a user
account on a server.
To set up a user account, please contact your installer or see our website for more information:
http://www.solar-log.com/en/products-solutions/solar-log-web.html
Note!
Requests and control commands are sent to the inverters, battery systems and in-
telligent appliances via the network interface. For this reason, the network should
always be available (24/7). If the Solar-Log™ is connected via WiFi, we recom-
mend deactivating the overnight shutdown function.
