Checklist:
- Create installer account on Q.onnect - https://au.qcells-qonnect.com/ (Video demo)
- Register the installation site on Q.onnect (Video demo)
- Does the site have internet? - If yes(internet commission):
- You can commission the system with a smartphone (or any device that has internet browser)
- Does the site have internet? - If no(Local commission):
- You'll need a laptop or a SwitchDin droplet. (Router or WiFi extender also works, or anything with local AP)
Step 1: Commission the batteries, follow the manual or view: (Video here). (if 1 battery only, no commissioning required, skip this step).
Step 2: Commission the Energy Meter (either Carlo Gavazzi EM112/EM24/EM24 CT, see Quick Installation Guide for wiring and configuration).
See below on how to commission the correct meter type under inverter settings.

Method A: Online Monitoring Portal (recommended)
Go to https://au.qcells-qonnect.com/.. Login and go to: select the site by choosing Serial number -> Product information -> Basic Settings (This can be done prior attending site)
Method B: Connect on the same network (No SwitchDin in between). Your device and the inverter will be on the same network. Either from the homeowner modem or via a BYO router/WiFI extender.
Use the assigned IP address that can be found from LCD screen and access port 8000. E.g. 172.150.25.10:8000 on a internet browser.

Step 3. Confirmation of energy meter commissioning
If you see the meter icon then energy meter has been commissioned correctly.
Step 4: Connect to the internet (either via direct ethernet/WiFi repeater/SwitchDin). If you see the globe icon and IP address other than 0.0.0.0 then it should be already connected to the internet.
Final Step: If you see all three LED lights green and these three icons below then commissioning has been completed!
