Differences between Solar-Log and Amperecloud
However, this is only possible with Solar-Log if your solar farm is equipped with data loggers from Huawei, Meteocontrol or Solar-Log itself. Amperecloud, on the other hand, is completely hardware-independent.
The data basis is also more distinctive with Amperecloud. For example, completely free calculation levels can be created in the digital twin. Non-data sending components such as fences can also be integrated into the twin. This makes on-site operations much easier, for example.
