Connect a MUST inverter to SolarAssistant

Overview

The steps below apply to all MUST inverters that are supported by SolarAssistant:

  • MUST PH/PV/PC range
  • MUST EP range

Step 1 - Connect inverter monitoring cable

Option A - Inverter USB port

The USB port of MUST inverters is a USB Type B port. It's a common cable found in many electronic stores. It's often called a printer USB cable.

Option B - Inverter RS485/COM port

A MUST inverter uses the same USB RS485 cable as the Deye/SunSynk inverters. This connection option is the most reliable.
