Cyber Security

Most operating activities such as monitoring and control of PV systems can be done locally by the PV system operator
or service personnel without the need for data communication via public Internet infrastructure. These operating
activities, including data communication between PV system operator/service personnel and PV inverter, data logger
or additional equipment, can be accessed by using local displays, keypads or using local access of the webserver of a
device in the LAN of the PV system or of the building.
In other use cases of PV systems, the PV systems are also part of the global communication system, which is based on
Internet infrastructures.
The data communication via Internet is an up-to-date, economically viable and customer-friendly approach in order to
enable easy access for the following modern applications such as:
• Cloud platforms (e.g. Sunny Portal)
• Smartphones or other mobile devices (iOS or Android apps)
