Communication Options
The following types of communication can be used to transfer the monitored information from the
inverter to the SolarEdge monitoring 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 58.
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 61
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is built into the inverter b ut an antenna is required, which is available from SolarEdge.
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
SolarEdge monitoring platform.
The GSM cellular modem is provided with a user manual, which should be reviewed
prior to connection. Refer to http://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/cellular_
