Change WiFi password SolarEdge inverter

Changing the WiFi Password on a SolarEdge Inverter

If your inverter communicates with your router via WiFi, the WiFi password is also stored in the inverter. When you change your router (e.g., when switching providers) or update your WiFi password, the inverter usually needs to be reconfigured to maintain the connection. This guide explains how to do that.

This step-by-step guide applies only to SolarEdge inverters without a display (using compact technology) that are equipped with WiFi.

What you need:

  • A smartphone with the MySolarEdge app installed. This app is available for free on both iPhone and Android.
  • The QR code located on the side of your inverter, which must be visible to be scanned.

Follow the steps below.

  • Step 1

    In the app click on the three horizontal stripes top left and then click on "Inverter Communication." The app will now open the camera on your smartphone.

  • Step 3

    The app will now ask you to push the switch at the bottom of the device to the left (to the P position) and immediately release it.

  • Step 4

    If the inverter does not have an existing connection to a WiFi network in your home, you can click on the 'Configure' button at the bottom.

  • Step 5

    You can then select the WiFi network, click on it, and enter the password.

  • Step 6

    Click on ‘Connect’, and then ‘OK’. After a few seconds, the connection should be restored.
