This change reduces potential component failure but can sometimes cause frustration during setup. Despite this, the benefits of real-time monitoring via smartphones or computers are significant: - Instant access to system performance data, including panel-level monitoring, consumption, grid feed-in, grid imports, and battery performance. - Capability to review historical performance over adjustable time periods. - Reporting functionality for system performance. - Ability to receive notifications for suboptimal system performance or errors. - Provision of data to optimize energy utilization, such as timing loads to coincide with high grid voltage or adjusting consumption to avoid drawing from the grid. - Assurance of system safety. ### Set Up Requirements: To ensure your inverter integrates smoothly with your home network, here are the key requirements for monitoring: - A robust WiFi connection at the inverter’s location. - A WiFi network operating at 2.4 GHz. - A WiFi-enabled inverter or a supplementary device enabling WiFi connectivity. Hot-spotting the inverter’s internet connection is discouraged as it only uploads data while connected rather than providing ongoing, real-time reports. If WiFi connectivity is unavailable, a wired LAN connection may be a viable alternative. ### Monitoring Failures: Failures or disconnections can occur due to several reasons, leading customers to seek assistance in reconnecting their inverters to monitoring platforms: - Change in internet service provider. - Transition to the NBN network. - Difficulty maintaining a stable WiFi connection, which can often be resolved by using a WiFi extender. - External interference. ### How to Reconnect: In the event of monitoring failure, we understand the frustration and offer assistance: **Check our troubleshooting guides:** - - [Poor WiFi Signal](https://www.resinc.com.au/blog/how-to-improve-wifi-strength-for-your-solar-monitoring) - [Band Steering](https://www.resinc.com.au/blog/band-steering-what-is-it-and-what-to-do) **Follow the instructions provided by your inverter brand:** - - [GE](https://www.gesolarinverter.com.au/service.html) - [Huawei](https://forum.huawei.com/enterprise/en/How-to-change-the-WiFi-connection-of-the-SUN2000-inverters-as-owner-of-the-system/thread/667259931042136064-667213868771979264) - [Sungrow](https://service.sungrowpower.com.au/files/Web_Files/FAQ/TD_202007_WiFi_Wi-Fi%20Offline%20Checklist_V1.0.pdf) - [GoodWe](https://support.goodwe.com/portal/en/kb/articles/inverter-offline-on-the-sems-portal-while-the-inverter-s-wifi-has-connected-with-the-router) **Refer to instructional videos from manufacturers:** - - [GoodWe YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@GoodWeSolarAcademy) - [Huawei YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@HuaweiFusionSolar) - GE YouTube If you cannot establish WiFi connectivity, you may require a technician’s assistance. Please note that monitoring is the customer’s responsibility and is excluded under warranty. Onsite assistance incurs a service charge of $165, provided during our next visit to your local area. ### Alternatives to WiFi Connection: If WiFi is unreliable, other options include: - **Hardwiring the inverter** via a CAT 5 cable for a guaranteed connection. This may incur additional costs depending on the modem’s location. - **Inline power adapters**, which utilize existing wiring and typically plug into a general power outlet (GPO) to create a stable, high-speed network between the modem and inverter. This option may also involve additional component costs. ### Let’s continue building a brighter, more sustainable world – together.
