Theintegrated data acquisitionandcommunication capabilityof thePVI6500‐7500allowscomprehensivetracking of system
performance data.All error messages andoperating conditions of thePVI 6500‐7500,as well asthoseon the PV system are

Anoptionalfull‐featured,inverterdirectdataacquisitionandlogginggatewayandweb‐basedserviceisavailablefromSolectria
Renewables, called SolrenView (http://www.solrenview.com). The gateway allows the inverter to deliver information to the
