Solar Display &
Kostal PIKO Solar Portal
Solar scoreboard for Kostal PIKO monitoring components
The Kostal inverters of the PIKO series have an integrated data logger. The performance data of the photovoltaic system can be transmitted via the Internet to the PIKO portal, Suntrol portal, or another web portal. Solarfox is able to retrieve the data simultaneously or receive it via FTP and visualise it on a large photovoltaic display from Solarfox.
With Kostal PIKO, system operators and installers have access to the most important data of their photovoltaic system at any time. When it comes to analysing measured values or visualising yields, the PIKO series leaves almost nothing to be desired.
Solar displays can retrieve the data from the Kostal portal and are therefore compatible with all components.
For the use of a photovoltaic display to illustrate energy data, only an Internet connection is required on site. The system is thus compatible with any photovoltaic system with inverters or components from Kostal, the only requirement being an Internet connection via LAN or WLAN. This has the advantage that you do not need any direct cabling between the inverter or monitoring components and the large solar displays. This gives you maximum flexibility to select any location for the solar display installation.

Communication between Kostal PIKO Solar portal and Solarfox display
- The photovoltaic system generates direct current.
- The inverter converts the solar energy into alternating current (solar power).
- The yielded information is transferred directly from the inverter or monitoring component to the Internet.
- After a Solarfox online account has been created, the Solarfox® web server accesses the data in the Kostal PIKO Solar Portal and generates a slideshow which you can configure individually via web browser.
- The Solarfox® display retrieves the data from the web server via the Internet and displays the data in an attractive visual slideshow. For this purpose, the Solarfox display only needs to retrieve data via the Internet through port 80.
The following Kostal products are compatible
All Kostal inverters are visualised via the PIKO Solar Portal:
- All Kostal inverters and communication products
The following data can be displayed if the data is available in the PIKO Solar Portal :
- Visualisation of power and power yield
- Further data on request
Visualisation via Kostal solar portal and combination with other systems and inverters
A Solarfox display is not only compatible with the Kostal PIKO Solar Portal, but also with numerous other solar monitoring systems and can visualise several systems simultaneously on a single display from different manufacturers.
