Easy

Instal­la­tion

Save time and nerves with Solarnative’s easy and safe plug-and-play sys­tem with reduced instal­la­tion com­plex­i­ty and spe­cial fea­tures such as auto­mat­ic miss­ing con­nec­tor detec­tion and smart map­ping functions.

Automatic missing connector detection

No more search­ing for miss­ing con­nec­tors: the Solar­na­tive Intel­li­Gate auto­mat­i­cal­ly detects and locates any miss­ing AC or DC con­nec­tors, ven before the sys­tem is con­nect­ed to the grid. After fin­ish­ing the rooftop instal­la­tion, the Intel­li­Gate is con­nect­ed to a mobile bat­tery test tool to ini­ti­ate the plant setup.

All con­nect­ed devices are auto­mat­i­cal­ly detect­ed and put in sequence with­out hav­ing to man­u­al­ly scan each indi­vid­ual invert­er. This step also allows any miss­ing con­nec­tions in the sys­tem to be locat­ed and fixed before the elec­tri­cal con­nec­tion is made in the dis­tri­b­u­tion cabinet.

Automatic mapping function

Our auto­mat­ic map­ping func­tion makes your plant imple­men­ta­tion process eas­i­er than ever: the Solar­na­tive Intel­li­Gate auto­mat­i­cal­ly detects the sequence of all invert­ers in a string and rec­og­nizes switch­es between mod­ule rows. Fol­low­ing the path of each string, the sys­tem is mapped with just a few taps in the Solar­na­tive App — no scan­ning of invert­er ser­i­al num­bers and no man­u­al map­ping of invert­er posi­tions on the roof required.

Remote commissioning

Com­mis­sion­ing of our sys­tems is done entire­ly over the air and works 100 % remote­ly. There is no dif­fer­ence between onsite and remote access.

No crimping on the roof

All cables in our sys­tem are fac­to­ry-assem­bled and ready to plug in. We pro­vide Solar­na­tive cables of var­i­ous lengths to con­nect the invert­ers and the Solar­na­tive Intel­li­Gate with each oth­er. A stan­dard AC cable run­ning from the gate­way to the elec­tric cab­i­net is con­nect­ed with a sim­ple tool-free clamp. No crimp­ing on the roof is required.

No data cables anywhere

The Solar­na­tive Smart Ener­gy sys­tem does not require lay­ing any data cables. The Pow­er­Stick micro-invert­ers com­mu­ni­cate with the gate­way through Pow­er­line Com­mu­ni­ca­tion. All oth­er devices are con­nect­ed to the gate­way form­ing their own inde­pen­dent wire­less net­work using LoRa (Long-Range). This robust net­work ensures high pen­e­tra­tion through walls to pro­vide the best range and reli­able communication.

Data is trans­mit­ted from the Solar­na­tive Intel­li­Gate to the cloud serv­er using LTE. There­fore, the sys­tem is com­plete­ly inde­pen­dent from the client’s WiFi that often does­n’t reach the roof and all the way down to the basement.

Built-in surge protection

Since our micro-invert­ers have built-in surge pro­tec­tion, no addi­tion­al surge pro­tec­tion devices are required. This not only spares your client’s bud­get, but also helps to reduce com­plex­i­ty dur­ing the plan­ning process and saves valu­able instal­la­tion time.
