Connect and configure Growatt SPA inverters

Overview

Follow the steps below to connect a Growatt SPA to SolarAssistant.

Step 1 - Connect RS232 monitoring cable

A USB serial cable can be plugged into WiFi RS232 port located on the bottom of the inverter. This is a normal USB serial cable available from most electronic stores.

As this is the only monitoring port on the Growatt SPA, the WiFi RS232 dongle and SolarAssistant can not be used at the same time.

Looking for RS485?

From our tests, the Growatt SPA is not readable via the RS485 port. If you managed to read it via RS485, please let us know.

Step 2 - Configure SolarAssistant

On the configuration page, select "Growatt" as your inverter model.
