BETHEL, Conn., July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Solar-Log 370, nominee for the Intersolar AWARD in photovoltaics, will be presented on the Innovation & Application Stage at Intersolar North America, Tuesday, July 12, 2016 from 11:15am-11:30am, Moscone Center, West Hall, Level 3, Alcove 2.

Intersolar received a total of 149 entries from 26 nations and the Solar-Log 370 was selected as one of the top 10 best in the category of photovoltaics.

The Solar-Log 370 is an advanced residential solar PV monitoring device with grid feed-in control. This residential revenue grade meter combines the market leading Solar-Log(R) monitoring technology into GE's popular 1-210+ meter. Optional features include automatic incentive reporting, self-consumption metering, inverter direct monitoring for near real-time visualization of plant data, connection to weather sensors, remote disconnect and power management.

Solar-Log 370 & GE Meter – Intersolar AWARD Finalist

The Solar-Log 370 was specifically designed for the U.S. market to provide advanced residential solar PV monitoring with power management. The Solar-Log 370 combines the market leading Solar-Log^® monitoring technology into GE's popular 1-210+ residential revenue grade meter.

"This distinguishable product places Solar-Log^® among the top of our monitoring competitors. No other product in the U.S. market so seamlessly integrates revenue grade metering with power management, while offering production forecast and real-time inverter direct monitoring." said Anton Kaeslin, President of Solar Data Systems, Inc. "In addition, we have recently integrated our 100^th inverter brand with the Solar-Log 300, 1200, and 2000; compatibility unmatched by any other solar PV monitoring solution."

The Solar-Log 370 works with all residential solar PV plants up to 48kW in North America. An Ethernet port provides LAN access and 2 x RS485 ports provide optional features including self-consumption metering, inverter direct monitoring, remote disconnect, weather sensor, and grid feed-in control.

The Solar-Log 370 maximizes residential PV plant performance by comparing the generated power to either a solar irradiance sensor, produced power from nearby plants, open source performance databases (such as PVWatts), and to weather satellite irradiance information.

The Solar-Log 370 connects via cellular network or LAN, giving near real-time visualization of plant data. It is certified to UL standards 2735 and complies with UL 61010-1, CSA/CAN3-C17-M84 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1.
