SolarEdge introduces the RS485 Expansion Kit which provides an additional RS485 port inside the inverter or on the Control and Communication Gateway (CCG). The kit contains a module that users can install on the communication board using the ZigBee port. This module has a 3-pin RS485 terminal block increasing the number of available connections. The additional RS485 port makes enhanced communications simpler and more cost-effective with a multiple inverter system which can now be connected to meters, 3rd party gateways, and other devices with the additional RS485 port eliminating the need for a CCG. The RS485 Expansion Kit enables the connection of up to 16 RS485 buses with up to 32 devices each in a daisy chain configuration, That means installers can now connect over 500 inverters in a communication grid without a CCG.
