How to Connect SolarEdge Inverter to Wifi?

- If your broadband router doesn't have this WPS feature, you need to enter the network password using the internal user buttons of the SolarEdge inverter. To perform this, you need to remove the inverter's cover.
- Find the LCD button on your inverter model and refer to the steps below to know how to use it.
- Press the LCD button for one second to scroll down to the next menu option.
- Long press the button to select the option or item.
