BRConnect

BRConnect serves as a central gateway for the evaluation of up to three PV strings and enables precise monitoring at module level. Data transmission is carried out via powerline communication, eliminating the need for additional wireless connections and facilitating installations in sensitive environments. The system is specifically designed for operation with the Power Optimizer M600‑M and supports robust signal acquisition without active interference in string routing. Thanks to its compact design combined with a clearly defined application scope, BRConnect is suitable for professional plant monitoring setups in PV projects of varying scales.

• TechnologyThe gateway uses powerline communication for reliable transmission of optimizer data, eliminating the need for wireless signal paths. The strings are detected contactlessly via ring cores, enabling robust and low-interference measurement. Integration into the overall system is carried out without active intervention in the cabling structure, thereby ensuring a stable data basis for module monitoring, even with longer string lengths.
• ConnectivityBRConnect provides data availability via WLAN or Ethernet and enables access via the Power Manager app as well as a web application. Communication between optimizers and gateway is carried out entirely via PLC, so no additional wireless modules are required. This architecture reduces technical complexity and supports stable system communication, even in complex plant layouts.
• Installation conceptInstallation is carried out on the wall in close proximity to the inverter, supported by a compact design and an included mounting set. The strings are routed through the device without mechanical interruption, simplifying installation and enabling tamper-free measurement points. Power is supplied via a power adapter, eliminating the need for additional wiring within the DC area.
• CompatibilityThe system is fully designed for operation in the M600‑M optimizer environment. It supports the evaluation of one to three strings, providing sufficient flexibility for typical system configurations in residential and commercial projects. Thanks to PLC-based communication, it integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure without requiring additional communication hardware.
• QualityThe device features a compact, robust design and is built with a protection rating that reliably supports indoor use. Contactless measurement protects materials and reduces wear points, contributing to stable long-term operation. Compliance with common EMC and safety standards supports reliable performance in professional environments.
• SustainabilityBy using powerline communication, the system reduces additional wireless components and enables durable, low-wear data acquisition. Contactless measurement contributes to material conservation and supports resource-efficient operation throughout the entire lifecycle. The robust design facilitates long-term usage concepts, particularly in commercial installations.
