8 1 RS485 Connection

➊ Use a standard CAT5 cable to connect the RS485 connector on the SOLIVIA gateway with the RS485 connector on the SOLIVIA solar inverter.

If more than one SOLIVIA solar inverter will be connected in an RS485 daisy-chain, ensure that each inverter has a unique ID assigned in the solar inverter user interface.

By default, the baud rate is set to 19200 at the inverter(s) and the gateway. To change the baud rate at the gateway, see chapter "11.2 Connection Settings" on page 21.

On each inverter and on the gateway the baud rate must always be set to the same value!

The maximum length of the cable depends on the baud rate. For example, for the default baud rate of 19200, the maximum length is 1200 m.

At the last inverter in an RS485 daisy-chain, a RS485 terminating resistor is needed. Some of the SOLIVIA solar inverters have an internal terminating resistor which can be switched on/off, some need a special external terminating resistor.

Please refer to the inverter manuals to get more information about the topics mentioned above.

8 2 LAn Connection

➋ Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable between the SOLIVIA gateway and the internet connected network point, e.g. the router. The cable length should not exceed 100 m.

EN11 3 PowerManagement

nOTICE This chapter is only relevant when your grid supplier requires a power management.

The digital inputs 1 to 4 can be used to control the maximum power that may be feed into the grid.

► To open the Power Management section, click on Power Management in the menu on the left side.

→ The Power Management section is displayed.

Setting optionsFor 15 pre-defined combinations of input states (possible states: active or inactive), a separate power reduction can be defined.

If all inputs are inactive, the value is automatically set to 100 %. That means, no power reduction is active.

Power management is at 100 % for all input state combination except

60 % for relay 1, 30 % for relay 2, and 0 % for relay 3 (default settings).

Setting DescriptionReduction to % of nom. power Reduces the maximum feed-in power to the entered per-

centage value of the nominal power.



11 4 PowerFactorControl

nOTICE This chapter is only relevant when your grid supplier requires a power factor control.

The digital inputs 5 to 8 can be used to control the power factor (cos φ) of the inverters.

► To open the Power Factor Control section, click on Power Factor Control in the menu on the left side.

→ The Power Factor Control section is displayed.

Setting optionsFor 15 pre-defined combinations of input states (possible states: active or inactive), a separate power factor can be defined, either inductive or capacitive. If all inputs are inactive, the power factor is automatically set to 1.00.

Setting DescriptionPower Factor Sets the powers factor for the input state combination

defined on the left of the input field. Enter the values in the form 0.xx, e.g. 0.95.

Leading current (capacative) Sets the type of power factor: checked = leading current (capacative) unchecked = leading voltage (inductive)



EN11 5 PowerBalancing

nOTICE This chapter is only relevant when your grid supplier requires a power balancing.

Some countries require a symmetrical power feed into all three lines of the AC grid or allow an unbalanced power feed-in only within defined limits.

If the power fed-in into the AC grid is not evenly distributed over the three phases, the gateway is able to balance this unsymmetry.

HowthegatewayexecutespowerbalancingThe gateway balances the power per phase after every data polling cycle:

1. The gateway requests every inverter for the current data.

2. After the last inverter of the bus has sent its information, the gateway calcuculates the power of each line.

3. The gateway calculates the current unbalance.

4. The gateway selects the inverters to be power reduced.

5. The gateway calculates the reduction factor that is needed to balance the power.

6. The gateway sends the power control command to the specific inverters.

The gateway reduces the power as little as possible. This means, the power balancing reduces the unbalance until the adjusted unbalance limit is adhered.

► To open the Power Balancing section, click on Power Balancing in the menu on the left side.

→ The Power Balancing section is displayed.


Setting options

Setting DescriptionActivate correction Switches the power balancing function on/off:

checked = power balancing is switched ON unchecked = power balancing is switched OFF

Allowed unbalanced load You can define the maximum unbalanced load either as absolute value in Watt or as percentage of the nominal value.

When both values are set, the smaller one is considered.Assign each single-phase inverter to a grid line

For each single-phase inverter select the phase of the AC grid, which the inverter is connected to.

Take care to select the correct phase as the gateway cannot check whether the mapping of the inverters to the phase is correct.

If you are uncertain, you should ask your electrician to verify the cabling of each inverter.

nOTICE The gateway web server will show you a warning if the sum of the nominal powers on the three phases differs by more than the maximum unbalanced load. Even with this warning the balancing works. However this warning is a strong indica-tion that the mapping of the inverters to the public grid phases should be reviewed carefully!



EN11 6 Inverter Information
