2.3 Introduction of Product Function

Shine Pano is a monitoring device designed and manufactured by Growatt. Shine
Pano could monitor inverters via RS485 and ZigBee wireless module. Besides
inverters, it can also monitor other devices like environment monitor and smart
meter. Pano can correlate with anti-flux device to guarantee there’s no power
sending from PV system to grid. Pano has a touch screen, which can match Shine
Server to set up an Ethernet network system. Schematic diagram is shown as
following figure.

As a terminal display device to show customers about the operation status, Shine
Pano can storage history data in internal memory and SD card. If the total amount of
inverters monitored by Pano is more than 1 piece, the connection mode between
inverters is RS485.

As an intermediate device, Shine Pano collects the data of PV system and sends it to
an upper computer or dedicated server.

For convenience of custom-tailored communication solution and cost control, Shine
Pano provides customers with different kinds of portals.

The monitoring data of Shine Pano contain two aspects:

1.Operation Data of PV plant

· The total volume of inverters

· The total volume of standing-by inverters

· The total volume of error inverters

· The total volume of normal inverters

· Capacity per day

· Total capacity

· Emission of Co2

2.Data of every inverter

· Operation status

· ID of inverters

· Current power

· Capacity per day

· Total capacity

· Total uptime

· Error message on LCD of each inverter

· Voltage/current/power on DC side

· Voltage/current/power on AC side

· AC frequency

· Communication address of inverters

· Temperature

· Power curve

3 Product Installation and Connection

3.1 Installation Environmental Conditions

The installation environmental conditions of Shine Pano and requirements
communicating with other devices:

(1) Indoor， temperature 0~45℃ ,humility0~95%,avoiding moisture and direct
sunlight.

(2) Communication distance is 1200m by Rs485.
(3) Communication distance in open space is 300m by Zigbee Module.
(4) The length of cable between router and switchboard should be within 100m.

3.2 Installation Methods of Shine Pano

3.2.1 Wall Mounting Method

Installation steps:

(1) Put the mounting rack on vertical plane. There are two screw holes on the rack,
using electric drill (6mm drill) to drill two holes corresponding with the holes on the
rack. Knock the plastic mold sticks into the holes by hammer. Then screw the rack on
the wall.

(3) Well-installed Shine Pano is shown as following figure.

(4) Connect the portal RS485 of Pano with portal RS485 of inverter (details refer to

chapter 3.3.1 hereinafter) or put ZigBee module into portal RS232 of our inverter

(5) Cable connection (put web cable into LAN portal of Shine Pano)

11

(2) Mount the Shine Pano on the rack.

(6) Insert SD card ( Start up the Shine Pano after the action of putting SD card inside,
otherwise SD card cannot be identified)

(7) Connect the Power supply line

(8) Switch on Shine Pano

Installation steps:

(1)Take out the rod from the back of Pano, supporting the Pano, and then put it on a level.

3.2.2 Horizontal Placement Method

12

(2) Other steps please refer to steps (4)-(8) of wall mounting method.

3.3 Connection with PV Devices

Shine Pano can communicate with devices like inverters, environment monitors,
smart meters etc.

3.3.1 RS485 Wire Connection

1. To set up RS485 wire communication, please notice the identification number of
portal RS485 of inverters. 2# of RS485 corresponds with 2# of Pano COM, 1# of
RS485 corresponds with 4# of Pano COM as following figure.

2. Inverters can connect one by one in series by RS485, and then connect the last
inverter to the Shine Pano.

3. The connection with smart meters and environment monitors is similar with the
way with inverters. To monitor the environment monitors, you can just connect the
environment monitor to the inverter. With regard to the smart meter, you can
connect the communication cable to the COM portal of Pano.

Notice:

ones designated by Growatt. Otherwise, connection could possibly fail.

The manufacturers of environment monitors and smart meters must be the

Shine Pano C OM port

Inverter R S485 port

Note: the position of the nume ral marks may be reversed, please refer to the actual product, and
connect th e Pano and inver ter according to the num eral marks.
