History

In 2004, Jörg Karwath had the initial idea and started developing the first Solar-Log™ in his garage – a data logger to monitor photovoltaic plants. Three years later in 2007, the start-up company Solare Datensysteme GmbH (SDS) was founded by Thomas Preuhs and Jörg Karwath. Within a few year, the company established itself global presence and by 2011 the Solar-Log™ product range was already being sold in 20 countries.

Berlin

Today, electric power generated from wind is making a significant contribution to the transition to clean energy. Due to the increasingly larger and more powerful wind turbines, the technology is consistently becoming more advanced. This leads to continued growth worldwide. Professional monitoring is also needed for the production of power from wind energy to ensure that electricity is produced without any problems.

For this reason, the company Solare Datensysteme GmbH in Berlin was founded. The company develops innovative software solutions for the professional monitoring of wind parks.

Innovation

Solar-Log™ Monitoring :

Monitoring has become essential for the solar industry and is almost always included for new PV plants. This is because numerous factors could negatively influence the operation of a PV plant and could lead to a reduction or, in the worst case, to complete yield losses. With Solar-Log™, Solare Datensysteme GmbH offers continuous and reliable PV plant monitoring. Disturbances are recognized right away and immediately reported before they can result in huge financial losses. Equipping an existing PV plant with Solar-Log™ guarantees not only ideal plant monitoring, but also provides multiple functions for Smart Energy and feed-in management.

Smart Energy, Feed-in Management, Direct Marketing and Licenses:

The PV market conditions are subject to constant change. Innovative solutions are required to meet these challenges. Thanks to the wealth of experience Solare Datensysteme GmbH has gained over the years with its hardware and software, it is able to implement legal requirements of the global market, as well as any individual requirements.
