How to connect your GoodWe inverter to WiFiour article answering?

Your GoodWe inverter connects to your home WiFi through a smart communication stick — a small module that plugs into the inverter and handles the wireless connection. If your system appears offline in the SEMS+ app, the steps below will help you reconnect it.

Before you start

On your phone, open WiFi settings and confirm your home network is visible and working. If your WiFi is down, fix that first before attempting to reconnect the inverter.

Step 1 — Check the smart communication stick

Locate the smart communication stick on your inverter. It should have a small indicator light. A blue light flashing or showing solid indicates the stick is powered and functioning. If there is no light at all, the stick may not be seated correctly — try removing and reinserting it.

Step 2 — Open the SEMS+ app

Open the SEMS+ app on your phone. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone, as the app uses Bluetooth to connect to the inverter locally for configuration.

Step 3 — Connect to the inverter locally

In the app, go to the Device section and select your inverter. Choose the option to connect locally via Bluetooth. Follow the prompts to pair with your inverter's smart communication stick.

Step 4 — Configure WiFi settings

Once connected locally, navigate to Smart Communication Stick settings and select your home WiFi network from the list. Enter your WiFi password and confirm. The stick will attempt to connect to your network.

Step 5 — Confirm connection

After a few minutes, check the SEMS+ app home screen. Your system should show as online and begin displaying live data. If it doesn't connect, try moving your router closer to the inverter or restarting both the router and the inverter before trying again.
