Some of them are essential for technical reasons, some are optional. You can control that by yourself with our consent manager.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of these cookies is necessary so that your browser can be recognized between your clicks during a visit. Common browsers offer the option to disable cookies. Note: It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.

Handling of Personal Data

The website operator collects, uses and provides your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you have agreed to the data collection.

Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you and which can be traced back to you - for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number.

Handling of contact data

If you contact the website operator through the contact options provided, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and answer your request. Without your consent, these data will not be passed on to third parties.

Handling of comments and contributions

If you leave a comment or contribution on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is for the security of the website operator: If your text violates the law, he wants to be able to trace your identity.

Handling of Service Related Data

To operate this AI service it is necessary to connect to public AI engines from Google and/or Open-AI in the USA. All data you input to AI are just used for processing answers and analyzes for you. We don't keep them outside of our system for a longer period.

User Account

In order to use this service, each customer must set up a password-protected customer account. This includes an overview of completed payments and the related invoices.

The operator does not assume any liability for password abuse if this was not caused by the operator himself.

Registration and Order Process

All data entered by customers during the registration and order process are stored. This includes:

  • Name, first name, title, salutation
  • Address
  • Payment data
  • E-mail address
  • Telephone number, fax, mobile phone
  • UID (VAT identification number) for companies

The data that is absolutely necessary for payment and operation is passed on to third-party service providers. As soon as the storage of your data is not longer necessary or is not longer legally required, it will be deleted.

Newsletter Subscription

The website operator offers you a newsletter in which he informs you about new features, maintenance, current events, and offers. If you want to subscribe to the newsletter, you must provide a valid e-mail address.

User Rights: Access, Rectification and Deletion

Data Processing Consent for AI Chatbot

Please read these terms carefully before using our chatbot. By using the chatbot, you agree to these terms.

1. Chatbot Service

Our chatbot service is provided to assist you in two ways:

  • Navigation: To quickly take you to the product information you require.
  • Search Assistant: To assist you with your inquiries and provide information about our products and services.

The chatbot is powered by Google's Gemini technology.

2. Data Processing and Transfer to the USA

  • Data Controller: The website operator, defined in the legal notice of this website, is the data controller for the personal data processed through this chatbot.
  • Data Processor: Google LLC, located in the United States, acts as a data processor on our behalf.
  • Data Transfer: By using this chatbot, you acknowledge and agree that your personal data, including the content of your chat conversations, will be transmitted to and processed by Google in the United States. A transfer only takes place when you sent a query to the chatbot. Simply loading the chatbot doesn’t transfer any data.
  • Data Storage: The chat conversations are stored only on our servers, located in Germany, which is part of the European Union. Google, as our data processor, only processes the data to provide the chatbot functionality; Google does not store the chat conversations on its servers for its own purposes beyond the immediate processing required to operate the chatbot.
  • Legal Basis for Transfer: The data transfer to the USA is based on DPF: Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. This certification covers the specific data processing activities of this chatbot.
  • Data Processing Purposes: Your data will be processed for the following purposes:
    • To provide you with the chatbot service and respond to your inquiries (both learning-related and shopping-related).
    • To improve the quality and functionality of the chatbot.
    • To understand user needs and improve our products, services and courses.
  • Data Minimization: We will only collect and process the data that is strictly necessary for the above purposes.
  • Data Security: We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, please be aware that data transmission over the internet is not completely secure.

3. Risks of Data Transfer

We love the United States of America, but the European Union believes that they may not provide the same level of data protection as the European Union. By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge that there are potential risks associated with the transfer of your data to the USA, including the possibility of access by US government authorities.

4. Your Consent

By clicking "I Agree" below, you explicitly consent to the processing of your personal data as described in these terms, including the transfer to Google in the United States. You confirm you have read and understood these terms.

5. Withdrawal of Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent at anytime. Withdrawing your consent will prevent further processing of your data in the chatbot. To withdraw your consent, just click on the “AI Privacy” link in our chatbot.

Photovoltaic systems

reliably protected from the effects of a lightning strike

 
     

Protect photovoltaic systems from overvoltage

M-System protective elements reliably protect photovoltaic systems from lightning and surge damage, are maintenance-free, require no additional power supply, and offer flexible grounding options for safe, long-lasting installation.
 
Button to the products
 

Reliable lightning and surge protection for photovoltaic systems

Photovoltaic systems are valuable investments that are designed to provide reliable energy for many years. However, lightning strikes and the resulting power surges pose a considerable risk—even at distances of up to 1.5 kilometers, the enormous currents generated by lightning can cause damage to sensitive electrical equipment. Millions of devices are damaged in this way worldwide.

With innovative protective elements from M-System, photovoltaic systems can be effectively protected against the consequences of lightning strikes and dangerous power surges. The systems do not require an additional power supply, do not affect the protected line, and are available in versions for 750 Vdc or 1,000 Vdc. Thanks to a high discharge current capacity of 20 kA, they offer reliable all-round protection.

An integrated thermal switch ensures automatic safety in an emergency: if an overvoltage is detected, the device disconnects the line from the circuits, the LED display goes out, and a relay contact reports the fault status.

Maintenance and inspection are also straightforward. The grounding resistance of the system can be easily measured without removing the lightning protection device—the spark gap between the line and ground makes this possible.

Thanks to the flexible grounding system, installation can be carried out as required: either via the DIN rail or with a grounding wire. M-System thus offers comprehensive, maintenance-friendly, and adaptable protection for modern photovoltaic systems.

The advantages of Lightning Surge Protection devices

 
  Automatische Auslösung   Keine Einschränkungen bei den Kontrollmessungen!   Verschiedene Erdungsmöglichkeiten  
     

Automatic triggering

No restrictions on control measurements

Various grounding options

The built-in thermal switch automatically disconnects the cable from the power lines, the LED lamp switches off, and the relay contact reports the error status. The grounding resistance of the photovoltaic system can be measured based on the spark gap between the line and ground without having to remove the lightning protection device. Thanks to a sophisticated grounding system, the lightning protection modules can be grounded via the DIN rail or a grounding wire.

   
  Signaltransmitter Coating     Good to know
