Reconnecting a Screenless SolarEdge inverter to the internet
If your screenless SolarEdge inverter has lost its Wi-Fi connection, follow these straightforward steps to reconnect it
Before You Begin:
- Ensure Internet Availability: Confirm that your home Wi-Fi network is active and functioning properly. Also make sure that you have a good signal at the inverter location. If that’s not the case, you may need to use a Wi-Fi extender to make sure the Wi-Fi signal is powerful enough at the inverter location.
- Install the mySolarEdge App and have your login credential handy: If you haven’t already, download and install the mySolarEdge app on your smartphone or tablet from the App Store or
Google Play Store. If you don’t know your login credential, please raise a support ticket with SolarHub and we will assist you.
