02

How the inverter is controlled

The dongle reads the inverter and never writes anything to it.

What GridZeno reads
Solar production, and grid and consumption when there's an energy meter on the inverter.
Battery
None. The inverter is a grid inverter without a battery, so there's nothing to charge or sell from.
Grid export
SolaX' protocol has no export limit on this inverter, so GridZeno can't stop the sale.
Manual means no switching
When the control is on Manual, GridZeno calculates the plan and shows it, but changes nothing on the inverter.
03

What is special about the SolaX X1-Smart G2

The serial number starts with XST. The dongle reads it like the X1-Mini G4, with three MPPTs.

Export limit
None in SolaX' official maps, and all writes sit behind the password in 0x600.
Rated power
No table in any document, so it isn't read.

How it differs from its neighbours

From the dongle's firmware and our notes on each inverter, not from the datasheet.

04

How to connect the dongle

Wires in the inverter's terminal plug. Approx. 30 minutes.

Port
COM/CT (terminal block C)
Pin
A at pin 13 (RS485 A), B at pin 14 (RS485 B), GND at pin 10 (GND)
Where
On the underside of the inverter, by the DONGLE port. The COM/CT connector from the accessory bag has two RJ45 parts, A and B, for energy meter and DRM, and a 20-pin terminal block, C. The dongle goes in the terminal block.
