    Enter your home WiFi network password. Confirm that the password has been entered correctly clicking ‘Show Password’, then click ‘Next’.

  • You should now see a screen named ‘Enhance Security’, nothing needs to be changed here. Click ‘Next’.

  • If all the steps have been completed correctly you will be redirected to ‘Setting Complete’ page. Click ‘OK’.

  • After 10 – 20 seconds you should be redirected to a page with the message ‘Settings complete! Please close this page manually’.

You have now finished the WiFi connection process and your inverter should be online in Solis Cloud

 

Troubleshooting

If you can still see the AP_XXXXXXXXX WiFi network in your phone WiFi settings the setup was not done properly and your inverter is not connected to WiFi. Follow the connection process above again.

 

Ensure that your WiFi network password is correct

 

Signal Strength

If your WiFi router is far away from the inverter, the signal strength may not be strong enough for a reliable connection. The WiFi signal strength can be checked on the wireless network connection screen (Step 7). The RSSI should be above 30% for a reliable connection.

 

5Ghz WiFi Networks

Your Solis inverter can only connect to 2.4 GHz WiFi networks. Ensure your home WiFi network is 2.4 GHz.
