Communication Types
Ethernet: page 42, used for a LAN connection
RS485: page 45, the most commonly used communication type, used for the connection of multiple
SolarEdge devices on the same bus in a master-slave configuration. RS485 type can also be used as
an interface to external non-SolarEdge devices, such as revenue meters and data loggers.
RS232 (UART): page 48, enables connection to an external SolarEdge GSM modem for connection to
the SolarEdge monitoring portal.
ZigBee: page 49, optional wireless communication (purchased separately)
USB: page 49, enables connection of a laptop to the inverter
Removing the Inverter Cover
If the cover is not already removed (for example, during initial installation, while AC is still not connected),
use the following procedure for cover removal for communication connections purposes.
1 Turn the inverter ON/OFF switch to OFF.
2 Disconnect the AC to the inverter by turning OFF the circuit breakers on the distribution panel. Wait
5 minutes for the capacitors to discharge.
3 Open the inverter cover’s six Allen screws and carefully pull the cover vertically before lowering it.
CAUTION:
When removing the cover, make sure not to damage internal components. SolarEdge will not be held
responsible for any components damaged as a result of incautious cover removal.
Creating an Ethernet (LAN) Connection
This communication option enables using an Ethernet connection to connect the inverter to the
monitoring portal through a LAN.
