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.
