Micro USB data cable to connect newer Voltronic inverters to SolarAssistant. This is a common cable found in many electronic stores. It is often referred to as an older Android cable.
The most common mistake when buying a cable for inverter monitoring is that people buy a micro USB charging cable when they need a data cable.
While a micro USB cable is not expensive, the RS232 port of Voltronic inverters is generally more reliable.
The disadvantage of the inverter micro USB port is that the inverter outputs 5.1V USB power through this port which is then connected to the USB bus of the SolarAssistant monitoring device. While it usually doesn't cause any issues, the RS232 port is more isolated.
A few examples of supported inverters are:
- Axpert
- EG4
- Kodak
- Mecer
- MPP Solar
- Phocos
- RCT
- The Sun Pays
- etc.
Check that your inverter has a micro USB port:
Specification:
- USB to Micro USB
- Length: 2m
- Shielded

A single cable can monitor all inverters in a parallel installation.
