Hello all.
I have a Sol-Ark 12K outdoor with a Fortress LiFePo4 18.5 kWh battery connected to the Battery CANBus port (light grey cable shown below). The Fortress battery needs protocol 4 selected in the inverter settings, so I'm told that a RJ45 splitter to also connect the Solar Assistant Pi will not work - I get CRC errors.
The WiFi RS232 port on the inverter is used by the Sol-Ark WiFi dongle and needed for firmware updates and monitoring by Sol-Ark through PowerView (PV Pro app).
How do I connect the Solar Assistant Pi device?
Thank you in advance for any help...
