User Manual 2 Product Introduction
9
Inverter provides various parameter configurations for optimal operation. You
can set the country via the iSolarCloud App or the cloud server, in case you
require further, please contact Sungrow.

Communication interface
You can choose the RS485 terminal for connecting a communication module
to the PV system, such as Wi-Fi module.

etc.
2.4.2 External Demand Response
The inverter provides a RJ45 port for connecting to a demand response
enabling device (DRED). The DRED asserts demand respond modes (DRMs).
The inverter detects and initiates a response to the supported demand
response commands within 2 s. The following table lists the DRMs supported
by the inverter.
