8.4 Monitor inverter
The inverter has an integrated web server. This makes it possible to monitor and record the operating state and yield
of your PV system.
You can display the recorded data using:
• The integrated LCD
• The integrated web server using an Internet-capable device connected to the Ethernet interface of the inverter
You can read the recorded data using a storage medium connected to the USB interface of the inverter, e.g. a USB
stick.
