Unable to connect to the inverter via wifi access point

Hi there,

Around 10 days ago, my Givenergy App stopped working. When I discussed this with Givenergy, they expected that the issue was that the inverter had lost the the password to my router. How this happened in a mystery as all of this is in the inverter which is pretty much inaccessible. I rebooted by router and my inverter.

It seems that in order to reset the password, you need to connect to the inverter’s wifi access point. Sadly the password was not supplied to me at installation time and after speaking with the installer, he is unable to provide me with this information.

Has anyone had a similar issue and was able to resolve it.

Kind regards,

Matthew

Search Google for GivEnergy KB dongle

That’ll find the pdf you need to reset the dongle and setup a new password etc.

Make sure you secure the access point as described otherwise people could be browsing your internet via an open hotspot - which could be a problem if your ISP doesn’t like what websites they are visiting!

Hi there, I found the same problem but my inverter has a built in wifi so how can one reset that?

I think you might be able to connect and reset it via a type A to type A USB lead, computer to inverter USB port.

Maybe web chat or call support for advice.

Or there might be a reset button near the dip switches

Hiya,
Thanks for your suggestion on this.
I contacted my installer and the host company and to see if there was an agreed, in-house, password set, instead of UN=admin PW=admin, but nope! So then a reset of the WiFi was needed.

Inverter WiFi module reset.
The answer is that there is in fact a reset button within the Inverter Unit that will reset the WiFi module in exactly the same way as WiFi Dongle description on page 9 of the instructions.

I suggest that ideally this button should be placed on the outside of the inverter with future models to facilitate easy reset.

All working now as before.

My system has no USB dongle. WiFi is inbuilt. Here’s how to connect in that scenario though I suspect it works for USB dongles too.

Default Invertor WiFi network name is your WiFi Serial Number found at givenergy.cloud
Default Inverter WiFi network password is 12345678

When you’re connected open a browser and go to: http://10.10.100.254/
Username: admin
Password: admin
