6 Shinelink-X
7 Supplies and preparation
Supplies:
• Shinelink-X
• A modem or router with a free network port
Preparations:
It is important that the inverter is switched on. Most Growatt inverters only turn on when the
solar panels are connected and they provide sufficient power. This means that the
configuration can only be done in sufficient daylight.
When linking the Shinelink-X to the account, the serial number of the Shinelanbox must be
used, do not use the serial number of the RFstick.
