meteocontrol VCOM Cloud PV Monitoring and blue’Log Control

meteocontrol GmbH, headquartered in Augsburg, Germany, grew out of a 1998 spin-off and has operated under its current name since 2002. It supplies manufacturer-independent software and hardware for monitoring, operations management and control of PV and storage plants, with 12 locations worldwide, including Tokyo, 50 GWp of monitored capacity and 75,000 monitored plants.

VCOM Cloud is the central monitoring and operations platform for single systems or global portfolios, with a mobile app, battery monitoring, energy forecasts, a CMMS module for digital service work, an API and controlled sharing of portfolio data with external stakeholders. On site, blue'Log X-Series data loggers and the new bluelog Neo platform collect data and control PV, storage and hybrid systems, while the SCADA Center and power plant controller cabinets handle plant-level control. mc Assetpilot adds financial portfolio management, and a hybrid EMS optimises consumption and storage.

• VCOM Monitoring: cloud monitoring for single plants or global portfolios with a mobile app.
• VCOM CMMS: digital management and reporting of on-site service work.
• Battery monitoring and forecasts: storage monitoring and energy yield forecasts in the same platform.
• VCOM API and Shared Assets: links data to other systems and shares insights with stakeholders.
• bluelog Neo and blue'Log X-Series: on-site data logging and control for PV, storage and hybrid plants.
• SCADA Center and PPC: local plant monitoring, alarm handling and grid-compliant control.

Owners of solar farms using inverters from several manufacturers could consolidate monitoring and service work in VCOM. EPC contractors could install blue'Log loggers and power plant controllers to meet grid connection requirements. Rooftop solar investors could share portfolio performance with lenders through controlled data access.

One manufacturer-independent platform covers monitoring, service management and plant control, so owners avoid juggling separate inverter portals. Controlled data sharing lets owners give investors and O&M partners exactly the portfolio insights they need. Monthly software releases and the new bluelog Neo platform add integrated cybersecurity and flexible licensing. Customers keep full sovereignty over their hosted data.

PV fleets are adding batteries and hybrid controls, and grid operators are tightening plant control and cybersecurity requirements. In Vietnam, mixed inverter brands across rooftop and ground-mounted plants, new storage projects and stricter dispatch requirements favour manufacturer-independent monitoring and control systems.
