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.
Always connect the communication options when the relevant devices are powered down - CCG,
inverter .

Ethernet

Ethernet is used for a LAN connection. For connection instructions refer to Creating an Ethernet (LAN)
Connection on page 75.

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 devices (inverters/CCG) over the same bus, such that
l
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 non-SolarEdge devices.
l
RS485-E: The RS485 Expansion Kit provides an additional RS485 port for the
l
inverter for enhanced communications. The kit contains a module, which is
installed on the communication board, and has a 3-pin RS485 terminal block.
This Kit is provided with an installation guide, which should be reviewed prior to
connection see,
expansion_kit_installation_guide.pdf
For connection instructions refer to Creating an RS485 Bus Connection on page 77.

ZigBee

This option enables wireless connection of one or several devices to a ZigBee gateway,
for wireless communication to the SolarEdge monitoring server.
The ZigBee kit is provided with an installation guide, which should be reviewed prior to
connection. Refer to https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/se-zigbee-home-
gateway-installation-guide.pdf.

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 https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/cellular_
gsm_installation_guide.pdf

CDMA

This wireless communication option e nables using a cellular CDMA connection for connecting t o the
SolarEdge monitoring platform.
