Step by step guide for installing the SP2000 Wi-Fi stick

This guide is for the 1st gen Wi-Fi stick with serial number "AH........."

If you have a 2nd gen Wi-Fi stick with serial number "4K........." please refer to the guide here

 
 

You will require a laptop on site in order to connect the Wi-Fi stick online. You must create the customer's online monitoring account whilst you are on site as you will need to enter the validation code from the Wi-Fi stick.

 

Part 1 - Connect the Wi-Fi stick online

1) Connect the Wi-Fi stick to the RS232 port of the SP2000 unit. If there is a DIP switch next to the RS232 port make sure that it is set to position 1

 

2) Using your laptop connect to the Wi-Fi network created by the Growatt unit. The name of the network will be the serial number of the Wi-Fi stick, for example "AH34916358".

The password is 12345678

 

3) Open a web browser and enter the address 192.168.10.100

The username is admin and the password is also admin

 

4) Click UART Setting and check that the Device Quantity is 1. This confirms the Wi-Fi stick is communicating with the Growatt unit.

 

5) Connect the Wi-Fi stick to the customer's home Wi-Fi network.

Click STA Interface Setting and click Search. A list of Wi-Fi networks is displayed, select your customer's home Wi-Fi network from the list.

Enter the password of your customer's home Wi-Fi network - this is usually printed on the back of their internet router.

 

6) Click restart immediately. Once the page reloads (you may need to enter the web address 192.168.10.100 again) check that the Server Connection State shows Connected

 

7) Click System Management and make a note of the 5 digit Check Code. This is the validation code which you will need to create your customer's monitoring account.

 

 

Part 2 - Create an account for your customer on the Growatt monitoring website

1) Connect your laptop back to the customer's home Wi-Fi network

 

2) Open a web browser and enter the wed address server.growatt.com

Click New User and create an account for your customer

 

3) Log in to the account and make sure you can see the data from your customer's system. It can take around 10 minutes for data to appear once the system is connected online.

 

4) Provide the login details to your customer, we recommend bookmarking the page server.growatt.com on their computer.
