16.14 Direct Marketing
Note!
With the amendment of the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG 2014), direct marke-
ting is required for all new plants with an output greater than 500 kW.
Starting 01 January 2016, the requirement applies to all plants with an output greater
than 100 kW.
An interface has been implemented with firmware version 3.3.0 (extra license required)
for the simple, efficient and secure communication
between the the direct marketer and the remote controlled photovoltaic plant. The So-
lar-Log™ with the firmware version 3.3.0 or newer fulfills the requirements to receive the
management bonus for remotely controlled plants.
Secure data communication between the and direct marketer is mandatory. This has
been implemented with VPN encryption (VPN router).
Note!
A VPN router is required to be able to use the direct marketing function.
