Sungrow Inverter Setup

Important

Before starting configuration - please check your device compatibility and supported configurations.

Data Delays

Sungrow data is delayed by about 6 to 11 minutes due to the performance of the Sungrow API. Unfortunately there is no way to improve this. Solar tracking should still work quite well despite the delays.

Sungrow Portal Version

As March 2024, there are two versions of the Sungrow Portal, Old and New. Users can switch between the two.

Depending on which version you're using, skip Step 1x or Step 2x.
