This driver comes with a 30 day trial, which begins the moment a dealer installs the driver. This should allow sufficient time to test functionality and ensure this driver meets your requirements.

FAQ

Why does the UI say 'Offline' and won't update?

Ensure you check:

• Your inverter is still connected to the internet
• There is no outage on for the SolarEdge API
• Your Controller has the correct date/time for your timezone.

Note: Connection issues can be typically confirmed by opening the mySolarEdge App on your phone, and checking the app still has a connection to your inverter.

Does this driver support batteries?

Not at this time. If you are interested, reach out.

Why hasn't my UI updated since I upgraded versions?

As the driver is a WebView driver, it tends to cache the UI. Please make sure after updates you 'Refresh Navigators' from within Composer, or resync your device from the Control4 App, using the Sync Setting within the Settings menu.
