Wireless Gateway, Wireless Repeater(s)
The Wireless Gateway collects inverter data using a dedicated Wi-Fi
connection and connects to the monitoring platform with the help of a
home router. Wireless Repeater(s) extend the Wi-Fi signal range between
the Wireless Gateway and inverter. Wireless Gateway and
Wireless๎Repeaters can be purchased separately from SolarEdge. For
