If you have any problems setting it up, you can watch the video tutorial which will walk you through it step by step.

Important instructions:

.If the device has already been added and you need to reconfigure the network, go to the Configure Network section to access device setup.

If the device is already bound to another user, you must unbind and "delete" the device from that user's account before proceeding. Each device can only be bound to one user at a time.

Step 1: Add the device

Step 2: Connect to the device's WiFi

Make sure your phone detects the WiFi named "MI-xx". Do not connect to it yet. Follow these steps:

1、Connect the solar panel inverter to the DC end and disconnect the AC end, make sure the red light flashes.

2、Make sure your phone can detect the “MI-xx” network.

Note: If you cannot detect the WiFi “MI-xx”, follow the steps below to troubleshoot:

Make sure the red light on the solar panel inverter is flashing. If not, disconnect the AC end and leave the DC end connected.

Bring your phone within 10 meters of the solar inverter. If it still doesn't light up, turn off the inverter for 10 seconds and plug it back in.

Step 3: Open the Add Station page.

Scan the barcode or enter the serial number manually to add the station serial number.

Step 4: Configure the WiFi

After successfully entering the serial number, a 2.4GHz WiFi configuration pop-up window will appear. Enter your WiFi name and password and click "Confirm" to continue the setup.

Step 5: Confirm the network status after successful configuration

Note: If the status indicator shows "Connected to the Internet" and the description is "Connected", the network configuration is successful.

If the configuration fails:

1、Make sure you are using a 2.4GHz WiFi network.

2、Check the WiFi name and password are correct.

3、Make sure the WiFi network is working properly.

4、Make sure the distance between the router and the micro inverter is about 10 meters and the signal does not penetrate more than two walls.

5、If the network configuration fails repeatedly, try using another phone or connecting the current phone to another Wi-Fi router.

After checking the above steps and making sure the WiFi is a 2.4GHz network and working properly, delete the serial number you added earlier. Power off the microinverter for 10 seconds, leaving the DC end plugged in and the AC end unplugged. Add the serial number again, find the MI-xx WiFi and reconfigure the correct network.

Step 6: Submit page

Once the confirmation message indicates that the network configuration has been successfully connected, click the Submit button and your station will be added successfully.

Step 7: Connecting the AC end

Connect the microinverter to the AC side and make sure the connection is secure. After a short wait, the green light should be solid. At this point, the device is supplying power to the AC side and the WiFi connection should be stable.

Step 8: Refresh the device page

Manually refresh the device page several times to monitor data upload.

If you follow these steps, you can successfully connect your device and complete the setup process.
