Step By Step Guide: Connecting Solar Edge Inverter to Wifi

Steps to Connect Your SolarEdge System to Wi-Fi:

  1. Turn on the Inverter:
    Ensure your SolarEdge inverter is powered on and functioning properly.

  2. Access the Inverter's Wi-Fi Settings:

    • On the inverter, locate the "Communication" or "Wi-Fi" button (this varies by model).

    • Press and hold the button until the indicator light starts flashing (typically 5-10 seconds).

  3. Enable Wi-Fi Setup Mode:

    • The inverter will enter Wi-Fi Setup Mode. It will broadcast a temporary Wi-Fi network (e.g., “SolarEdge-XXXX”) that you can connect to from your smartphone or computer.

  4. Connect to the Inverter's Temporary Wi-Fi Network:

    • Open your device's Wi-Fi settings and search for the temporary SolarEdge Wi-Fi network.

    • Select the network (it may prompt you for a password, which is usually provided on the inverter's manual or a sticker).

  5. Access the SolarEdge Setup Page:

    • Once connected to the inverter’s temporary Wi-Fi network, open a browser and enter the address provided in the manual (typically something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).

  6. Enter Your Home Wi-Fi Network Details:

    • In the SolarEdge setup page, you'll be prompted to enter the details of your home Wi-Fi network (SSID and password). Make sure your router is operating on a 2.4 GHz band (some models may not support 5 GHz).

  7. Save and Reboot:

    • After entering your Wi-Fi details, click "Save" or "Apply". The inverter will disconnect from its temporary Wi-Fi and reconnect to your home network.

  8. Verify Connection:

    • Wait for the inverter to finish connecting to your home network. Once the connection is established, the indicator light will stop flashing and should become steady, indicating a successful Wi-Fi connection.

  9. Check Connection on the Monitoring Portal:

    • Open the SolarEdge monitoring app or log into your account on the SolarEdge monitoring portal to confirm that the system is connected and data is being uploaded.

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Ensure Wi-Fi Signal Strength: Make sure your Wi-Fi router is close enough to the inverter to ensure a strong signal.

  • 2.4 GHz Band: Some older SolarEdge models only support 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. If your router supports dual bands, ensure it's not set to only 5 GHz.

  • Firmware Updates: Check if the inverter’s firmware is up-to-date to avoid connectivity issues.
