Setting Up Communication
Communication Dataflow
The SolarEdge site information can be accessed remotely using the SolarEdge
Monitoring Portal, as described in the
SolarEdge Monitoring Portal User Guide
.
In order to transfer monitoring data from a SolarEdge site to the SolarEdge
Monitoring Portal, a communication connection must be set up, as described in
this chapter. Communication setup is not required for power harvesting and is
needed only when using the monitoring portal.
Power optimizers send information to the SolarEdge Inverter via DC lines. No
added wires or configurations are required for this purpose. The inverter sends
this information to the SolarEdge Monitoring Server through the Internet. The
sections below describe how to set up this connection.
