✓ Summary
Preparation (Points 1–3): Check the documents and the equipment. Choose your dongle and connection and enable Modbus TCP (Point 3).
GoodWe inverter (Points 4–6): Configure the dongle with SolarGo or set the static IP with SEMS+ Classic. Write down the IP address. Update the firmware if needed.
Add to Reduxi (Points 7–8): Log in to the Reduxi web interface. Add the device as Hybrid inverter, type GoodWe Energy Storage Inverters HV. Enter the IP and port 502. Run Test communication, then click Done.
Go live (Point 9): Check the last measurements. Set the control type to AUTO.
→ Common issues
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Test communication fails | Check the IP address of the inverter, port 502 and that Modbus TCP is enabled. Check that the inverter is connected via Ethernet and in the same network as the controller. |
| Modbus TCP is not available with WiFi/LAN Kit 2.0 via WiFi | GoodWe After-Sale Support must activate it. Send the e-mail described in Point 3.4. |
| Dongle serial number starts with 72100 | Enable Modbus TCP under Settings – Privacy & Security (Point 4.3). |
| The inverter IP address changes | Switch off DHCP and set a static IP address (Point 4.4 or Point 5.2). |
| Communication problems persist | Update the inverter firmware (Point 6.1). |
| Open configurator does not open or stays empty | The tunnel is not active yet. Wait about 30 seconds and check that the controller is online. |
Login with admin is rejected |
The password was changed during installation. Ask the installer. The Reduxi account password does not work here. |
