BRC Solar BRConnect Gateway
The BRConnect Gateway is the smart interface between your M600-M optimizers and the digital world. Connecting is effortless—without a separate data cable to the optimizers—via Powerline directly through the existing DC cabling. The collected module data is securely transmitted to the BRCloud via a European server and can be conveniently monitored in real time using the BRC Power Manager app.
Thanks to the integrated measurement coils, up to three strings can be routed through the gateway and monitored without having to cut the wires (string cables de-energized during this; installation by a qualified electrician), for precise monitoring.
Special Features
Powerline Communication
Uses existing DC lines for data transmission—no network cabling required.
Setup via App
Setup is done via the BRC Power Manager app; a network connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and at least 4 M600-M optimizers per string are required. Installation by a qualified electrician.
Secure Data Transmission
Module data is encrypted and sent to a European server in the BRCloud.
Integrated measurement coils
Monitors up to three strings simultaneously without interrupting the wiring (string cables de-energized during installation; installation by a qualified electrician).
