Solis Inverter - Ethernet connection possible?

2011

I recently had solar panels installed and now I am analysing what they have done. I see that the installer has installed a “data logging stick” that connects my Solis inverter to my Wi-Fi.

I would prefer a hard wired solution. If I were to install a local Ethernet point (RJ45 socket) is there any way that the inverter can plug into this rather than depending on with Wi-Fi?

If this is possible it would be a far more robust connection to the cloud.

Yes, there are some new sticks that can do both LAN and wifi, @Jonathan knows more about the model numbers as he was trying to get one from Solis recently.

Your options are either a DLS-L or a S2-WL-ST.

I'd go for the S2-WL-ST as it is newer and the supports remote control via Solis Cloud. The older DLS-W doesn't support remote control.

Are they just plug and play?

Do they have an RJ45 socket on them?

More or less. You need to scan the barcode of the new logger within Solis Cloud and it will swap the account over to the device.

Yes, RJ45 port.
