Configuring ZigBee Communication between the SolarEdge Devices
Figure 3 shows an inverter as an example. This illustration is can be applied to any
SolarEdge device connection.
This configuration enables you to wirelessly interconnect several SolarEdge
devices in a master/slave configuration (point to multipoint (P2MP)
configuration). In this configuration, the master device can optionally be
connected to the Internet (WWW) using an Ethernet router/switch.

The SolarEdge devices can be configured in
one of two ways:
 Method A – Configuring the Devices
Using the LCD Button: When using
this option, there is no need to open the
device’s cover in order to set it up.
 Method B – Configuring the Devices
Using the User Buttons: When using
this option, the device’s cover is
removed and the AC power is turned on
in order to set it up.
These configuration options are described in
detail below. You can choose either one of
them.
► Method A – Configuring SolarEdge Devices Using the LCD Button
The connector panel on the inverter and Safety and Monitoring Interface appears as shown below:
