3.1 System architecture

The POWER CENTER HUB is the communication gateway for the line of Duracell Power Center
microinverters. The gateway collects microinverter data via Wi-Fi and reports this data to the Power
Center's server via a customer supplied internet connection, either via hard-wired ethernet (recommended)
or Wi-Fi. Local monitoring applications include PC-based web-browser and IOS / Android apps.
