Meteocontrol

Meteocontrol is a German company, meteocontrol GmbH of Augsburg, that sells monitoring and operations software for solar systems alongside on-site hardware. Its VCOM Cloud is described as monitoring, technical operations management and data hosting of individual systems or complete portfolios. The family includes battery monitoring, a monitoring app, an O&M app with offline use for tickets and work orders, and VCOM Forecast for energy forecasts.

Other products are VCOM CMMS for service deployments, mc Assetpilot for the financial management of a renewable portfolio and hardware such as bluelog Neo and the SCADA Center. The home page gives company figures of 25 years of experience, 50 GWp of monitored power, 75,000 monitored plants and 12 locations worldwide. The cloud page lists no plans or prices.

• VCOM Monitoring and app. VCOM Monitoring covers systems or portfolios, and the VCOM Monitoring App lets users check performance on mobile.
• VCOM O&M App. The O&M app works offline for tickets and work orders. Field technicians in places without signal can still record their jobs.
• VCOM CMMS. CMMS is described as digital and automated management and reporting for on-site service deployments. The pages we read do not list report formats.
• Shared Assets. Owners can share system access for reporting, maintenance and other VCOM functions with external partners, such as a service contractor.
• VCOM API. The API lets users retrieve data and integrate it into other systems, such as ERP solutions. Details of endpoints are not on the cloud page.
• VCOM Forecast and Battery Monitoring. Energy forecasts and battery monitoring are separate parts of the cloud family. The page gives no model or accuracy details.
• mc Assetpilot. A cloud-based system for the financial management of a renewable energy portfolio, which extends the offer beyond technical monitoring.

• Portfolio owners. Owners of many plants can use VCOM Cloud for monitoring and hosting of a complete portfolio, and share access with external partners through Shared Assets.
• O&M contractors. Service providers who handle tickets and work orders on site can use the O&M app, which works offline, and CMMS for reporting on service deployments.
• Operators of larger plants. Operators who need on-site control can look at the hardware range, including bluelog Neo, the blue'Log X-Series, Hybrid EMS and the SCADA Center.

The cloud page lists no plans or prices and mentions no trial. It offers a VCOM demo through a Schedule a demo link, or by contacting sales, so the first step is a conversation with the vendor. The page also says VCOM login is moving to mc Cloud, which centralises user management, access rights and security features in one place, so new users should expect to sign in through it.

The hardware range, such as bluelog Neo and the blue'Log X-Series, is separate from the cloud software, and a plant may need both. The pages we read describe the products rather than a setup procedure, so commissioning, data logger pairing and onboarding times are not covered here.

meteocontrol GmbH separates monitoring from operations. VCOM Cloud covers monitoring and data hosting, the O&M app handles tickets and work orders offline, and mc Assetpilot adds financial management of a portfolio.

Owners can share system access with outside partners and pull data through an API into ERP systems. The cloud page lists no plans, prices or trial, only a demo, and VCOM login is moving to mc Cloud.

The solar monitoring platforms list places Meteocontrol 3 of 14: Solar-Log sits directly above it and Victron VRM directly below. Places 1 to 3 in every list go to challengers where the category has them, so this is a position on that rule and not a score.

Counting headquarters, 4 out of 14 sit in Europe; for Meteocontrol that is Germany.

Pricing as recorded: Quoted per organisation; demo offered, no price list on the cloud page.

The VCOM Cloud page lists no plans or prices and mentions no trial. The way to see the product is a demo, offered through a Schedule a demo link or by contacting sales. The product range spans software, such as VCOM Monitoring, CMMS, Forecast and mc Assetpilot, and hardware, such as bluelog Neo, the blue'Log X-Series and the SCADA Center. Because the pages show no price model, we cannot say whether pricing is per plant, per megawatt, per organisation or per module, or whether hardware is billed apart from cloud access. A buyer should ask meteocontrol GmbH for a written quote that separates devices, software modules and any API access.

VCOM Cloud monitors single systems or whole portfolios and hosts their data.

A battery module, a mobile monitoring app and an energy forecast sit in the same family, and the O&M app works offline.

VCOM CMMS handles reporting for on-site service jobs.

Shared Assets lets an owner give an installer or manager access without handing over the account.

The range also includes on-site hardware.

The cloud page describes VCOM Cloud as including data hosting of individual systems or complete portfolios, but it does not state hosting location or certifications. It says VCOM login is moving to mc Cloud, which centralises user management, access rights and security features in one place.

Shared Assets lets owners share access with external partners, so access rights matter for contractors. The imprint identifies meteocontrol GmbH, registered at Pröllstraße 28, 86157 Augsburg, Germany, under HRB 16415 at the Augsburg Local Court, and names Cheng Liu, Stijn Stevens and Bin Lu as managing directors. It names no parent company or shareholders.
