Initial commissioning
The KOSTAL Solar App, the Webserver or the inverter’s display can be used for initial commissioning.
The required activation codes are requested during initial commissioning.
Activation codes should be purchased before commissioning from wholesalers, our KOSTAL Solar Webshop or directly from the KOSTAL Solar App.
INFO
The installation process may vary depending on the software version of the inverter.
Switch on the inverter
There must be at least min. input voltage (UDCmin) for initial commissioning. The output must also be able to cover the inverter's self-consumption during initial commissioning.
- Activate supply voltage via the line circuit breaker.
- Switch on the battery system, if present, using the battery switch.
INFO
For more information about operation, refer to the operating manual for the battery system.
- The battery system starts up.
- Move the DC switch on the inverter to the ON position.
- When external DC voltage separators are present, activate the DC strings consecutively.
- The installation wizard is shown on the display.
Initial commissioning via KOSTAL Solar App and setup wizard
A smartphone is required to input the data.
Initial commissioning is performed via the setup wizard in the KOSTAL Solar App.
The application is only available to installers. For this purpose, Pro mode must be activated in the KOSTAL Solar App.

Initial commissioning via the inverter Webserver
The inverter's integrated Webserver is used to carry out initial commissioning. An additional device, e.g. a PC or smartphone that accesses the Webserver, is required to enter the data.
To do this, the user must first select and set up the network connection via the inverter display before a connection is made via the input device.
The potential connection methods are:
- Wifi access point: After switching on the inverter, it provides a Wifi access point. A connection to the inverter's Wifi access point can be established using a smartphone. The access data for this is shown as a QR code on the inverter's display.
- LAN: The inverter is connected to the local network via a LAN connection. The Webserver can then be accessed via a LAN-enabled device.
After selecting the connection method, the inverter's website is accessed and initial commissioning can be carried out.
