Servotech Successfully Tests Solar System Performance Monitoring Device along with PV Port in EUREF Campus, Germany
New Delhi, 20 June 2022: Servotech Power Systems has developed a first-of-
its-kind solar performance monitoring & controlling device in association with
the German Development Agency, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ). This device, dubbed as ComPort, has been
successfully tested with the portable solar system PV Port at the EUREF-
Campus in Berlin, Germany. A revolutionary breakthrough in its class, ComPort
can be integrated into any Domestic Offgrid/HyBrid solar system and turn it
into a smart solar system. Additionally, a portable solar system the PV Port has
been also erected at the same campus.
Specifically built to make users more aware about how well their solar systems
are working, this mobile app-controlled device can make available a number of
system insights to their fingertips. The impetus to this innovation comes from
various researches which point in the direction of most solar systems turning
out to be underperforming.
IoT-enabled ComPort’s intelligent app helps to identify defects, issue
notifications, diagnose issues, and suggest O&M tasks. Additionally, any
anomalies or underperformance are recognised proactively with constant
monitoring. Also, ComPort considerably help to lowers the chances of a
system’s malfunctioning.
The device can monitor, control, and report input/output voltage, battery
charge/discharge, and solar power generation. Through app also keeps track of
previous results to enable comparison. The device is developed on DIY-concept
and can be easily installed into any domestic solar system. It also offers data
interfaces for third-party O&M companies to combine and analyse data.
Conversely, the development of the PV Port & Comport is a project under a
bilateral Indo-German program implemented by the GIZ. It will contribute to
the wider implementation of solar in India and Germany, especially for the
urban PV. The event was notably attended by German Green politician Bettina
Jarasch, Deputy Mayor of Berlin and Senator for Environment, Mobility,
Consumer and Climate Protection, who quoted, “At least 10 PV port should be
installed at Friedrich Strasse (Frederick Street) to reduce public car traffic and
enable a public free solar-powered charging station.”
Present at the testing, Servotech’s Founder and Managing Director Raman
Bhatia commented, “We are proud to develop ComPort which is a first-of-its-
kind universally applicable instrument that can be integrated with any off-grid
and hybrid inverter and empower users who have applied solar solutions to get
the most out of these systems. Features such as DIY-friendly installation,
remote power scheduling, and minimised energy costs, make this device the
perfect solution leading to optimised solar system performance. Further, we
have also filed multiple patents for the device.”
Additionally, GIZ’s Principal Advisor, Joerg Gaebler remarked, “the Pilot PV
Port now installed and commissioned at EUREF-Campus will allow further
study in the installation of urban PVs across different user segments,
contributing to the global endeavour against climate change and dependency
on fossil fuels.”
