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
