Sol-Ark 15K-2P-N The Sol-Ark 15K-2P-N inverter achieves battery communications through a single RJ-45 port labeled “Battery CANBus”. This port combines the Modbus and CAN bus pin configurations shown below. Both “Modbus RS485” and “Battery CANBus” ports are capable of Modbus communication.
Sol-Ark 12K / 8K / 5K (Outdoor) The Sol-Ark Outdoor-Rated inverter (12K-2P, 8K-2P and 8K-2P) achieve battery communications through a single RJ-45 port labeled “Battery CANBus”. This port combines the Modbus and CAN bus pin configurations shown below. Both “Modbus RS485” and “Battery CANBus” ports are capable of Modbus communication.
Sol-Ark 12K Legacy (Indoor) The Sol-Ark 12K Indoor can communicate through two RJ-45 ports labeled “CAN” and “RS-485”. Battery communication is established through CAN bus or Modbus communication protocols through the “CAN” and “RS-458” ports respectively The following figure shows the communication board inside the wiring area of the 12K Indoor inverter. Note that both the “CAN” and “RS-485” ports can be used for battery communications depending on the required protocol.
Sol-Ark 8K Legacy (Indoor) The Sol-Ark 8K Indoor can communicate through two RJ-45 ports labeled “RJ45_485” and “RJ45_CAN”. Battery communication is established through CAN bus or Modbus communication protocols through the “RJ45_485” and “RJ45_CAN” ports respectively The following figure shows the communication board inside the wiring area of the 8K Indoor inverter. Note that both the “RJ45_485” and “RJ45_CAN” ports can be used for battery communications depending on the required protocol.
Not shown in the above image but would be located below the “Alarms” field. Modbus/RS-485 Battery Screen As of Mar 16, 2023, Sol-Ark recommends that if establishing communication via Modbus RS485, make sure to have the inverter firmware upgraded Comm v143F to the latest available version, with or higher and the latest primary and follower MCU versions.
