Keeping Your SolarEdge A-series Inverter Connected with a new 4G Cellular Kit

Is your reliable SolarEdge A-series inverter still cranking out power, but you’ve lost the ability to monitor its performance? If you're seeing a "No Communication" status on your portal and you rely on a cellular connection, the culprit is likely the aging communications device.

While the highly popular A-series inverter has been officially marked as obsolete, millions are still operational around the world. These inverters are designed to last, but the associated communications technology often has a much shorter lifespan.

Why Is Monitoring Important for an Obsolete Inverter?

You might think that once an inverter is obsolete, monitoring doesn't matter as much, however that’s not true because monitoring is key to protecting your investment:

1. Performance Verification: How do you know if your system is producing as much energy as it should? Without communications, you are flying blind.
2. Troubleshooting: If the system goes offline, the monitoring portal is the first place you look to diagnose the issue. Is it a grid problem, an inverter fault, or a panel optimizer issue? Hard to diagnose without communications.
3. Preventative Maintenance: By observing daily performance trends, you can catch subtle issues (like a degrading module) before they cause a complete failure.

The Problem: Cellular Obsolescence

The original Type A Cellular Kit was built to operate on older cellular networks (often 2G or 3G). As cellular providers upgrade their infrastructure—a process known as a "network sunset" —these older modems lose their ability to connect and transmit data.

The Solution: A New, 4G Type A Cellular Kit

You don't need to replace your entire inverter—or resort to expensive, wired Ethernet solutions simply because a small component has failed.

We maintain a reliable stock of the 4G Type A Cellular Kits that are plug-and-play compatible with your SolarEdge A-series inverter. Replacing this communications device restores the link between your inverter and the SolarEdge monitoring portal, giving you back full visibility into your system's performance.

If your aging SolarEdge inverter has lost its voice, don't let a simple communications failure turn into a permanent problem. Sourcing a new 4G Type A Cellular Kit is the most efficient and cost-effective way to ensure your obsolete inverter remains a fully functional, monitored part of your home energy strategy.
