Installer Partnerships
An upgrade your customers can use every day
Offer Inverter View as an optional addition to your Sol-Ark installations.
Give customers a wall-mounted display in a convenient location—near their thermostat, in the kitchen, or wherever they regularly check their home’s status. They can see what their solar system is doing without opening an app or walking out to an inverter in the garage, basement, or outdoors.
Include the device and installation in your proposal, with customer pricing that fits your business. Solar-ID supplies the display; you bring convenient, everyday monitoring to your customers.

Integrated Display and Interface Board
The Integrated Display and Interface Board combines a high-resolution, always-on display with built-in communication electronics explicitly designed for direct integration with your inverter. Engineered for reliability and ease of installation, this board provides seamless RS-485 communication and intuitive status visualization. Its compact, integrated design ensures straightforward mounting and minimal cabling, simplifying installation while enhancing the clarity and accessibility of your solar energy system’s critical information.
MODBUS Protocol
The Inverter View utilizes RS-485 via the Modbus RTU protocol to reliably connect to your inverter, providing real-time system data in a clear and efficient manner. RS-485 is a robust serial communication standard widely used in industrial and solar energy applications due to its reliable, noise-resistant signaling over long cable lengths (up to 4,000 feet). It supports multi-point (bus) topologies, allowing multiple devices to communicate over just a single twisted pair.
