GeneralThanks to the PIKO Solar App, the monitoring of your PV system iseasily and very comfortably possible via your smartphone or tablet– naturally free of charge. In the graphical representation of thelive data (“Live view”) you can check the important details fromyour PV system. For example, you can monitor the DC yield and seehow much electric current you are feeding into the public grid. Ifyou have a PIKO of the new generation combined with the PIKO BASensor, you will also be able to see how much energy is used inyour building by your household devices and furthermore how thisenergy demand is covered by the different sources (e.g. public gridor PV system). With the PIKO BA System you can also check how muchof the produced energy is stored in the battery or is taken fromthere to be used in the household. Besides this live data, which isupdated via WLAN, you can also graphically display historic yields(day, week, month, year and aggregated data). This historic dataderives from the PIKO Solar Portal when your PV system isregistered there. If you don’t like to connect to the PIKO SolarPortal the historical data can be obtained by the direct connectionfrom PIKO inverter and PIKO Solar App. The PIKO Solar App isavailable for the Android and the iOS operating system.Program featuresSettingsDue to the connection between PIKO inverter and PIKO Solar Portalthe configuration of the PIKO Solar App can be done automatically.To use the automatic mode you have to fill in your email addressand corresponding password in the menu setting “PIKO Solar Portal”.After that you get an overview of all PV systems which are assignedto your account and you can select the specific PV plant whichshould be visualized in the PIKO Solar App. Then all informationregarding the PV plant and the PIKO inverter will be transferredinto the app. These information contain all necessary data tovisualize the live data in your home network.If you don’t want to use the automatic mode of the PIKO Solar Appor if your PIKO inverter is not registered in the PIKO Solar Portalyou can set up the app manually.Live dataIn the "Live Data" you can see the current power data of thechoosen plant (on the top left next to the app logo) and the selfconsumption in combination with the PIKO sensor.An update occurs every 5 seconds. By clicking on the respectivesymbols following values are visible in the menu "Live Data":Inverter- Current power (W)- Current feed-in of the individual phases (W)- Efficiency of the plant in kWh/ €PV Generator- Current of the individual DC strings (W)- Total power of the DC strings (W)AC power supply- Inverter power (W)- Self consumption (total)- Difference between yield and consumption (W)Self consumption- Total self consumption (W)- Coverage by inverter, battery and grid (W)Battery- Charging status of the battery and the actual power (W)- Voltage, discharge current, temperature and number ofcyclesBelow the overview of live data you will find a summary of therespective inverter.HistoryAt "History" you can retrieve on the "Measure" menu of the income,the battery and domestic consumption values for the "periods" day,week, month, year and total. After selection of the desiredparameters and the time period, the information must be confirmedwith "Show Data".ContactThe menu item "Contact" allows you direct contact with our support.If you want to attach the technical data of the inverter to thee-mail, you have to enable the checkbox "Technical information sendthem along" and confirm the "Submit" button. In the following, anemail will be sent to the KOSTAL Service through your e-mailprogram.

Professional monitoring for your photovoltaic system.
