GX SolarEdge Manual
1. Introduction
Connect your GX Device with a SolarEdge PV solution, you can:connecting to it using the ModbusTCP Sunspec protocol. An industry standard protocol for exchanging PV Inverter yield information.
- ZeroFeed-in, like with the Fronius PV Inverters; is not available when used in a Victron system.
- Frequency shifting, as is required in a AC-Coupling system might work, but has not been tested.
Above possibilities and limitations allow for the SolarEdge to be used in ESS systems where feed-in to the grid is allowed, only when connecting the SolarEdge to the AC-input of the Victron inverter/charger. In other sorts of systems, such as for example Off-grid systems, or ESS systems in areas where feed-in is not allowed, using a SolarEdge PV solutions is not supported by Victron
2. How to configure
- Ensure that the GX Device and the SolarEdge system are both on the same LAN or WiFi network.
- Enable ModbusTCP support on your SolarEdge system. Consult the SolarEdge documentation for that.
- On the GX Device, navigate to Settings → PV Inverters. Search for the Solar Edge and complete the configuration.
