Integration of Greenheiss solar inverter with Trydan
Do you have a Greenheiss solar inverter and are looking to integrate it with our Trydan e-Charger?
You’re in the right place! Here, we’ll guide you step by step to carry out this integration optimally, whether it’s with the Greenheiss inverter models with a battery (hybrid) or without one.
Before starting, it is essential to check the compatibility of your Greenheiss inverter with our Trydan charger. Once confirmed, follow these steps to successfully integrate your Greenheiss inverter with our e-Charger and enjoy efficient and sustainable charging for your electric vehicle.
Integration of Greenheiss solar inverter without battery with Trydan
There are two ways to connect the Greenheiss solar inverter without a battery:
In both cases, the e-Charger will work with all charging modes (including solar energy), but if the WiFi connection between the inverter and the charger is not established, it cannot measure photovoltaic energy.
Connection via cable to the energy meter of the inverter installation
To make the connection, a cable should be run from the V2C Trydan charging point to the main installation board where the Greenheiss inverter meter is installed. Two cables will suffice, although using a UTP cable can make the installation and connection to the Trydan charging point easier.
The connection to the Trydan charging point is made as follows:
The connection will be made by connecting pin 4 of the Trydan RJ-45 connector to terminal 25 (B-) and pin 5 of the Trydan RJ-45 connector to terminal 24 (A+) of the RS485 of the meter. Remember that two cables will already be connected to the inverter.
NOTE: It’s important that the loose UTP wires are insulated and do not make contact with each other.
WiFi connection with the inverter
It is essential that both the e-Charger and the inverter are connected to the same WiFi network.
Next, identify the IP address of the inverter you want to connect with. There are three ways to do this: from the router, using an IP search tool, or by enabling a local WiFi network from the inverter. To do so, you’ll need to configure the inverter by following the instructions below:
Configuring the Greenheiss inverter without a battery in V2C Cloud
To link the charging point, enter the V2C Cloud app, select the e-Charger, and go to ‘settings’.
Go to the dynamic power control section and select ‘inverter’ under device type, and ‘Greenheiss’ under inverter type.
Finally, click ‘save’ for the configuration to be applied. The system will then reboot and be ready to receive home consumption data.
There is no need to configure an IP address on this device, but doing so will enhance the user experience by allowing access to additional solar/battery production data via the V2C app. You can find the IP of devices connected to your local network. It’s recommended to set a fixed IP address in the router so you don’t need to change it later.
Integration of Greenheiss hybrid solar inverter with batteries with Trydan
Steps for wireless connection with the inverter
To integrate with the Greenheiss hybrid inverter, you’ll need the eSolar AIO3 Sdongle.
First, connect the eSolar AIO3 Sdongle to the 4G/GPRS/WiFi port of the inverter.
With the inverter powered on and the Sdongle correctly connected, open the GH-Style app and press ‘local connection’. The password for access is ‘123456’. The app offers two connection options: Bluetooth or WiFi. Select ‘WiFi’ connection.
The next screen will display a list of Bluetooth devices you can connect to. Select the device labelled ‘BlueLink:XXXXX’, where the last 5 digits are the last five numbers of the Sdongle’s serial number (SN), which appears on the back of the Sdongle).
If it’s your first time connecting, a message will appear asking you to select the internet access mode (WiFi or Ethernet). Click ‘WiFi’, then enter the WiFi network and password you want to connect the device to, which must be the same as the one your e-Charger is connected to.
Once the changes are saved, or if you’ve connected before, the main screen will appear showing the linked devices (Sdongle and inverter).
Next, select the communication module (Sdongle). It will show ‘link up’ if the connection is established and display the dongle’s IP. This IP should be entered later when configuring dynamic power control in the V2C Cloud app.
To change the WiFi network settings, select the communication module and press the settings icon at the top right. Inside the settings, select ‘WiFi settings’ to choose the desired WiFi network.
*The dongle version must be v1.200.
After configuring the communication module of the inverter, you need to configure the inverter itself. To do so, enter the device and go to settings (top right). Then, access ‘communication settings’, ‘RS485 settings’, and configure the protocol type to ‘Modbus’, baud rate to ‘9600’, and communication address to ‘1’.
Configuring the Greenheiss hybrid inverter with batteries in V2C Cloud
To link the e-Charger, open the V2C Cloud app, select the device, and go to ‘settings’.
In the dynamic power control section, select ‘inverter’ as the device type and ‘Greenheiss’ as the inverter type.
In the next section, enter the IP address of the Sdongle device you configured in the previous steps. To complete the configuration, select ‘Greenheiss with batteries’ in the dropdown menu and your installation type.
Finally, click ‘save’ to apply the configuration. The system will reboot and be ready to receive home consumption data.
