Chapter 7: Setting Up Communication to the
Monitoring Platform
The inverter sends the following information to the monitoring platform:
Power optimizer information received via the DC power lines (the PV output circuit)
Inverter information
Information of any other connected devices
This chapter describes how to set up communication between:
The inverter and the monitoring platform through the Internet (wired/ wireless)
Multiple inverters for a leader-follower configuration
Communication setup is not required for power harvesting, however it is needed for
using the monitoring platform .
CAUTION!
When connecting the communication cables, make sure that the ON/OFF/P
switch at the bottom of the inverter (and the switch of the DC Safety Unit if
applicable) is turned OFF, and the AC is turned OFF.
When configuring the communication parameters while the inverter cover is
removed , make sure that the ON/OFF switch (and the switch of the DC Safety
Unit if applicable) is OFF, and the AC is turned ON.
Communication Options
The following types of communication can be used to transfer the monitored
information from the inverter to the monitoring platform.
Only communication products offered by SolarEdge are supported.
Always connect the communication options when the relevant devices are powered
down - Commercial Gateway, inverter, etc.
Ethernet
Ethernet is used for a LAN connection. For connection instructions refer to Creating an
RS485 Bus Connection on page 73 .
