PvLog.de is an online portal for photovoltaic power plants provided by Common-Link AG. Used together with the InterLink-Solar data logger, it is positioned around “Monitoring, Alarmierung und Fernüberwachung” — monitoring, alerts, and remote supervision. It is not a developer tool in the general sense; it is closer to an equipment data platform for the solar energy industry.
Based on the page content, the platform supports viewing power plants, generation revenue, power charts, a public plant list, and a “Top 100 plants” efficiency ranking. The system compares actual generation in kWh with installed capacity in kWp to produce a kWh/kWp metric. Users can publish measurement data to PvLog.de or embed it on their own website; access can also be restricted to owners and installers only. The protected customer portal includes device parameter settings, alarm options, data export, event and alarm archives, and plant logs. Installers can also use customer and project management tools.
The collected text does not mention supported programming languages, frameworks, APIs, SDKs, webhooks, or database interfaces. It also provides no information about open source availability, self-hosting, or private deployment. Its “integration” mainly refers to integration with the InterLink-Solar data logger and web-based display, rather than a programmable platform for developers. If you plan to build secondary integrations, automate access, or create your own monitoring backend, you should confirm the available interface capabilities with the vendor first.
The site navigation includes “Produkte & Preise,” but the main content does not provide specific prices, plans, hardware costs, or subscription fees. In terms of documentation, the website explains the business workflow and some features, but lacks technical specifications, API documentation, deployment instructions, and detailed billing information. Overall information transparency is average.
Its strengths are its focused use case and coverage of PV remote monitoring, alerts, data visualization, export, and installer management. It is suitable for PV plant owners, small private plants, community solar projects, and installers. The drawbacks are limited disclosure of developer capabilities, likely dependence on dedicated hardware and vendor support, and unclear pricing.
No information was found in the main content about access from mainland China, payment methods, or local support, so its availability status is unknown. If you plan to use it in China, you may also want to evaluate alternatives such as Solar-Log, SMA Sunny Portal, Fronius Solar.web, and Enphase Enlighten.
