Communication Options

Communication Options
The following types of communication can be used to transfer the monitored information from the
inverter to the m onitoring platform.
Only communication products offered by SolarEdge are supported.

Ethernet

Ethernet is used for a LAN connection. For connection instructions refer to C reating an Ethernet (LAN)
Connection on page 61.

RS485

RS485 is u sed for the connection of multiple SolarEdge devices on the same bus in a master-slave
configuration. RS485 can also be used as an interface to external d evices, such as meters and third party
data loggers.
RS485-1: Enables the connection of multiple inverters over the same bus, such that connecting
l
only one inverter to the Internet is sufficient to provide communication services for all the
inverters o n the bus. RS485-1 has built-in surge protection.
RS485-2: Enables connection of non-SolarEdge devices.

For connection instructions refer to Creating an RS485 Bus Connection on page 65

GSM

This wireless communication option ( purchased separately) enables using a GSM
connection to connect one or several devices (depending on the data plan used) to the
monitoring platform.
The GSM Plug-in is provided with a user manual, which should be reviewed prior to
connection. Refer to http://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/cellular_gsm_
