After buying the antenna, gateway, and repeater, I’m reluctant to spend 400 plus dollars on the cellular card which only will cover access for 5 years. I think I will run a hard wire first. I’ve ordered a new router to see if that may help, ours is needing updating anyways. It is frustrating...

I don’t think it will work because the power line goes from our service panel to a sub panel in a barn then to a sub panel in the shop where the panels are installed. From the little research I did it looked like it would not be a viable alternative.

Thank you, all panels are on a south facing roof with a 4/12 pitch.

Thank you Bentley for the input. I’m still working on trying to get the monitoring up and running. I’ll take your advice and hold off on a second inverter until I can adequately monitor what they are producing.

I haven’t been able to use the Solar edge monitoring app. The inverter is in a building 400 feet from our house and even with a repeater I can’t get a signal. SolarEdge tech support was no help. The few times I have looked mid day it is maxed out at just under 10,000 watts. We are in the 4...

Hello, We have a grid tied 13.8 Kw system with an SE10000H inverter which states it's maximum output is 10,000 watts. We had a company design the system and I installed. I just realized that the inverter will not realize the maximum potential of the solar array (not sure what the designer was...

Hi, I just got my grid tied system inspected and up and running. My inverter is in a building about 500 feet from the house. I’ve installed the antenna on the inverter and a repeater about 5 feet away the gateway is in our house plugged into the router. I’ve followed the instructions and can...

Thank you for the information. One additional question will a breaker work as a rapid shutdown switch? Or will I need to add another disconnect. The breaker is on an exterior meter panel.

Hello, First time here. I just installed ( yet to be inspected) a grid tied solar system on a detached building. 33 420 watt panels with solar edge optimizers and solar edge had-wave inverter. In order to monitor our system do I need wifi in the shop? I bought the wireless gateway + antenna...
