Every time we sell a Solis inverter monitoring wifi stick, next day we get the question on how to set it up? One of our customers from the United Kingdom shared his experience on the installation process and he was so kind to send it to us. So here we go:
Key steps for setting up monitoring for a Ginlong Solis solar inverter
Firstly, sync the datalogger onto your WiFi network by:
- On a smart device forget all WiFi networks it is currently connecting to
- Connect to the WiFi network with SSID AP_xxxx (where xxxx is the serial number of the datalogger) it will warn you there is no internet, this is because it doesn’t have internet yet.
- Open any browser (Safari, Chrome etc) on the smart device
- In the access bar type in the ip address of the datalogger (10.10.100.254)
- You will be prompted with a username and password
- Type in “admin” (without quotes) for both username and password
- Run through the wizard: select the wifi network with internet, click next; then type in the password for that network, click next; click next until it says OK; then it will say close this page manually and it will restart
- Close the browser
ANY ISSUES?
If you cannot see the WiFi network (AP_XXXX) then you need to remove the black antenna on the bottom of the datalogger to get the datalogger back into configuration mode.
