Device usage
Input description
On the SolarGatewaySE there are multiple inputs required like IP adresses, IP adress ranges and names. The steps below will explain how to use the buttons to insert characters.
Input options
Use the buttons on the SolarGatewaySE to select one of the four input options relared to the position of the pressed button.
For example: the UP button selects and highlight the numeric input.
Select characters
When an input option is selected, use the UP and DOWN buttons to navigate and select a character or pre-defined value like and IP-adress. Press the OK button or wait 3 seconds to confirm the selected character or value. Characters now appear in the input field as shown below.
Remove characters
While one of the input option is selected, press the BACK button to remove the last character or hold the OK button to clear all input.
Uppercase
It is possible to use uppercase characters. Hold the UP button to activate uppercase characters, and hold it again to switch back.
Configuration settings
On the “Config settings” page the basic system settings are done. The following configuration item are found:
- Apply settings
- Inverters
- Meters
- EV Chargers
- Auxiliaries
- Grid settings
- Setup RTU-A (X10)
- Setup RTU-B (X11)
- Setup RTU-C (X12)
- System setup
Apply settings
All settings in the config menu can be changed without direcly effecting the current function of the SolarGatewaySE. When settings are changed, the changes must by applied using this menu. Appying the settings can be done selecting one of multiple strategies. Each strategy has predefined controllers and certain required settings to be set. After applying a new strategy the system will check all requirements and only if all requirements for the strategy are met, the new strategy is applied.
Activate config
This configuration will activate all settings, a stratagy must be selected. Changed settings are stored, but not applied until the wanted strategy is selected and correctly applied. If a faulty configuration is found, the selected stratagy returns an error, and the system function is not changed. Only if the selected strategy is correctly configured, the new configuration is applied and the old configured strategie is replaced by the new one.
Select stratagy
To activate all settings, a stratagy needs to be selected. The current implented stratagies are:
Counteren
Counteren will provide the stand-alone counter controller using a grid meter, inverters and a pyrano sensor.
Arc detection
Arc detection will only provide the arc detection functionallity using an external arc detection. This strategy will not implement any export or import limiter. This allows for easy and fast arc detection integration in existing systems.
General
General will provide all required controllers, except for the countering controller. This strategy uses the entered solar power per group and grid export limits to create (if required) an export controller. At least one grid meter is required to do so.

Grid settings
In this configuration power and current limits for the plant can be defined.
Grid settings configuration
The following inputs are required to configure the grid settings:
- Grid current max
- Grid + power max
- Grid - power max
Grid current max
Enter the maximum allowed grid current for this plant. For example: 200 A.
Grid + power max
Enter the maximum active power which might be consumed from the grid. For example: 50 kW.
Grid - power max
Enter the maximum active power which might be exported to the grid. For example: 100 kW. The SolarGatewaySE will impelemnt export limitation controllers for configured solar inverters if the configured solar power exceeds the configured limit.
Arc detection
This configuration will define the external arc detection settings. By default external arc detection is disabled. Keep in mind, any GPIO used to connecto to the external arc detection should by true when no arc is detected!
Arc detection configuration
The following inputs are required to complete Arc detection configuration:
- Input type
- Minimum PAC
- Inverter adress
Input type
Select the input type for Arc detection, options are:
- Deactivate
- GPIO (use onboard GPIO for max 2 inverters)
- Ext. GPIO (use modbus GPIO modules for multiple external arc detections)
- Both (Use as well the internal GPIO as external GPIO modules)
Minimum PAC
Enter the minimum PAC (Inverter AC power) required per inverter for an arc detection. If the AC power of the inverter is not at least as high as Minimum PAC, while a detection is done, the detection is neglected.
Inverter adress
This menu is only visible if the “Both” option is selected. It allows the user to select the one or two inverter adresses controlled by the internal GPIO. The other adresses will be logically (from low to high) mapped to the external GPIO modules. For example, if 5 inverters are configured, 1,2,3,4,5 and only 2 external GPIO modules are configured and “Inverter adress” is set to 3,4: The first GPIO modules is connected to inverter 1, the second GPIO module to inverter 2 and GPI1 is connected to inverter 3, GPI2 to 4. Inverter 5 has no arc detection connected. Setting the “Inverter adress” to 1 in this situation connects inverter 1 to GPI1 and inverter 2 to external GPIO 1 and inverter 3 to external GPIO 2.
Connecting the external arc detection
When connecting the external arc detection please check the following items:
- Make sure the arc detection is not latched on detection.
- Make sure the GPIO of the SolarGatewaySE or input on the external GPIO are HIGH when no detection is done and LOW when a detection is done.
- Check the functionality of the external arc detection
- Check the functionality of the configured SolarGatewaySE, check if the correct inverter is turned-off when a detection is done.
