Works: tested and measured on real hardware.

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 X3-MIC

The serial number in holding 0x300 starts with, for example, MC806T, MU806T, MC106T, MC203T-MC215T or PU: X3-MIC G2.

What the dongle reads
Input 0x400-0x434 and the meter from 0x43B. The rated power is read from the machine type in 0x34E by the X3 table in SolaX' V1.9.
The grid
The X3-MIC G2 got the meter in firmware ARM 1.06.
Export limit
None. In SolaX' V1.9, register 0x604 is the grid's over-voltage limit, not an export limit, and all writes need the password in 0x600.

How it differs from its neighbours

  • SolaX X3-PRO: The X3-PRO G2 is read the same way, but is connected in an RS485 terminal connector instead of an RJ45 port.

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

04

How to connect the dongle

Network cable with RJ45 plug. Approx. 25 minutes.

Port
RS485 terminal
Pin
A at pin 4 (RS485_A), B at pin 5 (RS485_B)
Where
On the underside of the inverter, behind a protective cover. The cable is passed through the waterproof connector with RJ45 from the accessory bag.
