Testbed for photovoltaic regulator data transmission

The integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into decentralized energy networks requires reliable data transmission from solar regulators and microinverters. This project investigates the data transmission capabilities of various PV regulators and inverters, focusing on their communication protocols and performance metrics. The primary problem addressed is the lack of comprehensive documentation on data transmission speeds from these devices. By creating a controlled testbed, we systematically evaluate the data transmission intervals, current detection speed, and reliability of different regulators and inverters. Our results provide insights into the limitations and capabilities of these devices and contribute valuable information for the development of efficient decentralized energy systems.
