The free PC software solution

Switch on your laptop or PC and start Sunny Explorer – that’s all that’s needed to give operators and installers an overview of their PV plant. The key plant data can be visualized on the PC or laptop. Energy values and events can be archived long-term by means of data export in CSV format, and processed and visualized in Excel. Sunny Explorer also provides support during inverter parameterization: because no complicated cabling is needed, PV plant maintenance is convenient and fast.
