Sungrow's Logger1000 Attains EN 18031 Certification

Sungrow, a global leader in renewable energy technology, recently celebrated a significant achievement with its Logger1000. This product stands out as one of the first in the photovoltaic (PV) industry to earn the EN 18031 certification for cybersecurity from the renowned certification body, TÜV SÜD. This recognition highlights Logger1000's advanced capabilities in safeguarding data and ensuring robust protection against cyber threats.

The EN 18031 standard, a key part of the EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED), is recognized as one of the most stringent cybersecurity benchmarks globally. Mandating strict protections against data breaches, privacy violations, and fraudulent activities, it will come into full force on August 1, 2025. Once implemented, every radio device entering the EU market must comply with these requirements, positioning Sungrow as a pioneer in regulatory compliance within the industry.

TÜV SÜD's comprehensive evaluation of the Logger1000 covered 14 essential security dimensions, and the device excelled in all areas. Among the tested categories were Access Control Mechanisms (ACM), Authentication Mechanisms (AUM), Secure Update Mechanisms (SUM), Secure Storage Mechanisms (SSM), and Secure Communication Mechanisms (SCM). Each of these evaluations underscores Logger1000's dedication to cybersecurity and data protection.

At the heart of Logger1000's success is its end-to-end security framework that spans from the stations to the cloud platforms. Developed under a Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL), this product adheres rigorously to all cybersecurity standards throughout its design, development, and deployment phases. Logger1000 integrates cutting-edge security technologies, including role-based access control, digital certificates, digital signatures, encrypted data storage, and the TLS secure transmission protocol. These features ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data during its storage, retrieval, and transmission.

The Logger1000 not only excels in cybersecurity but also offers substantial operational advantages. It supports a variety of communication protocols, ensuring seamless compatibility with numerous PV devices, such as environmental monitoring equipment, sensors, and third-party devices. Furthermore, it can work efficiently with both iSolarCloud and other third-party operations and management systems, enhancing the management of PV plants.

Looking towards the future, Sungrow demonstrates its commitment to continual improvement and innovation through ongoing research and development. This includes leveraging next-generation technologies such as 5G, cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and big data analytics. As cyber threats continuously evolve, Sungrow is dedicated to delivering globally compliant and future-ready cybersecurity solutions, thereby ensuring the safe and reliable functioning of PV installations across the globe.
