Beta Firmware / Alpha Driver

Devices with supported strang visualization

The compatibility spectrum of Solar-Log keeps growing!

We would like to offer you a steady increase in the number of compatible devices for our energy management and monitoring solution. This means that we develop and constantly update a large number of device drivers.

Whereas a few years ago there were only a handful of devices with which the system had to be compatible, today there are well over 300 different devices with which the Solar-Log Base device family is compatible and the number is constantly growing.

In order to be able to offer you more compatible devices as quickly and easily as possible, we have adapted our development steps and are now releasing new device drivers in two different ways for more compatibility in less time.

Beta Firmware Description

Beta firmware contains drivers that have been handed over from the development department to a special test team and have been structured and extensively tested by this test team on one or more installations. These drivers are available in the beta firmware, documented in the beta release notes and for them, there are the corresponding installation instructions. These drivers can be used directly by our customers and are available in the coming table of the present entry.

Currently known problems for which we develop a solution:

Beta-Firmware 5.1.1

Fronius Gen24:
Communication problems when selecting SunSpec Model Type "float".
Huawei (Hybridsystem):
The WLAN dongle must not be installed, otherwise no communication with the Solar-Log Base is possible.
Kostal TCP:
Currently, Piko CI may still experience communication outages on some days.
Sungrow:
Communication problems with Sungrow inverters.

Beta-Firmware 6.0.0_160_20220610

ABB PRO device drivers
Reactive power control over all Q modes (except cosPhi) with more than one device does not work correctly.
Huawei (Hybridsystem):
The WLAN dongle must not be installed, otherwise no communication with the Solar-Log Base is possible.
Kostal TCP:
Piko CI devices occasionally experience failures in device communication.
Varta device drivers
Varta Flex Storage devices with a serial number starting with "601" are not recognized correctly.

Alpha Driver Description

Alpha drivers are drivers coming directly from the development department. They have undergone internal software-based testing there, have completed the internal Solar-Log GmbH driver test tool and have been tested with a software simulator. The classification as an alpha driver is usually made when no direct test installations are available. The corresponding alpha driver can be requested by our customers for a beta test, via email. The tests are accompanied by our beta test team to ensure that all functions are guaranteed in the system. It may happen that we need a few days lead time to provide the appropriate resources in the development department.

Alpha drivers for which we are looking for specific test plants:

Fronius Gen24:
Devices via RS485, connected to the Solar-Log Base + SunSpec Model Type "float" configured.
