Introduction
1.0 Introduction
The MagWeb GT (ME-MGT-MW) is the information gateway for our
MicroGT 500 microinverters. The unit collects module performance
data and transfers this information to an Internet database in real
time (retains data for the last 30 days), requiring only a single data
and power cable.
The MagWeb GT’s integrated http web server offers the simplest
and most fl exible network integration of any data logger on the
market. The user-friendly browser-based interface lets you access
your solar array in seconds.
The MagWeb GT monitors the microinverters that are connected to
the PV modules. Therefore, the communication between inverters
and the MagWeb GT does not affect inverter performance, even if the
MagWeb GT fails to communicate with the inverters. The MagWeb
GT is NOT a revenue grade metering device. Power production data
collected by the MagWeb GT is for reference only. Check your utility
meter for the real power production of the whole system.
