8.1 Introduction
The Solar Wi-Fi module is a data logging module. The 'plug & play' function enables the Wi-Fi module to simply
collect information from your PV system. The integrated Wi-Fi function gives the Wi-Fi module wireless access to
your router and enables it to send data to the web server. This allows remote monitoring. After your PV system has
been registered, you can consult these data by logging on to the online monitoring portal that is accessible via
www.solarmanpv.com/portal.
Downloading the SolarMAN app on your smart phone allows you to check the status of your PV system anytime,
anywhere.
This manual describes how to install the Wi-Fi module, register your PV system and download and install the
SolarMAN app.
