Communication Connectors - SolarEdge Se K Series Installation Manual

RS485
RS485 is used for the connection of multiple SolarEdge devices on the same bus in a
leader-follower configuration. RS485 can also be used as an interface to external
devices, such as meters and third party data loggers.
RS485-1: Enables the connection of multiple devices (inverters/Commercial
Gateway) over the same bus, such that connecting only one device to the internet is
sufficient to provide communication services for all the devices on the bus.
RS485-2: Enables connection of multiple SolarEdge devices and of non-SolarEdge
devices over the same bus.
For connection instructions refer to Creating an RS485 Bus Connection on page 61.
Wi-Fi
This built-in communication option enables using a Wi-Fi for connecting to the
Monitoring platform. It requires an external antenna, available from SolarEdge, that can
be purchased separately and assembled during system installation. The Wi-Fi Antenna
is provided with a user manual. Refer to

Cellular
Cellular Plug-in (purchased separately) provides cellular communication to connect
one or several inverters to the Monitoring platform. Cellular communication depends
on the purchased data plan.
The Cellular Plug-in is provided with an antenna and user manual. Refer to
