The design is the same sort of point-to-point Ethernet technology based on single-mode fiber that's used in enterprises and industrial applications, as opposed to the Passive Optical Network (PON) approach used by service providers. . Utility-scale solar facilities are most commonly networked using fiber optic technology. Fiber optics communication can cover longer link. . Usually, communication options such as RS485 or PLC are deployed in those projects to transfer data from inverters to data logger by LAN, GPRS or optical fiber from data logger to control room. Our product development strategy has been to develop products that offer maximum flexibility to. . An optical-fiber network is useful for this purpose for the prime reasons of low loss/long reach as well as immunity to electrical interference, ground loops and lightning. 1 Megawatt of output requires 4,000 to 8,000 solar panels, with a surface area of 8,000 m2.
