Powador-proLOG
Are you looking for professional installation monitoring and
data logging equipment? Powador-proLOG is the high-end
solution for your PV installation. Error messages by SMS (text
message), fax or e-mail, remote access to the installation, the
representation of the PV installation on the Internet and much
more are no problem whatsoever for the Powador-proLOG. Up
to 32 inverters can be connected to the Powador-proLOG via
the RS485 interface.

Powador-go
If you simply wish to know whether your installation is working
properly, the Powador-go is exactly what you need. If your PV
installation or modules are no longer producing power, the
Powador-go set reports this after 24 hours by means of an
audible warning signal. The whole process works independ-
ent of the inverter. You can simply sit back and relax in the
knowledge that your installation will let you know if there is
a problem.
