SolarEdge 3G Network Obsolete

There have been emails floating around to customers who currently have SolarEdge inverters for their solar system that the 3G network card needs to be upgraded. This is due to the fact that AT&T is sunsetting 3G from their network. As such, transmission of activity from the solar inverter to the main hub for support and logging of power creation for monitoring electric creation will stop once the 3G network is taken offline.

So now what? Well, in order to continue, one remedy is to upgrade the network card in the solar inverter to 4G or 5G. This can be done so at a cost of approximately $500 plus installation. This means that whenever communications protocols are made obsolete, you would have to purchase another network card.

However, a more economical solution is to connect the inverter to the wifi network in your home. This way, the inverter will use whatever network is currently used to communication via the internet. This connection to the wifi can be accomplished through connecting an ethernet cable from the inverter to your internet modem, or by using a wifi network extender to connect to the your wifi network.

I, for one, chose a network extender as it is the easiest to install and does not require fishing a wire from the inverter to the internet (cable) modem. I installed a Linksys RE6300 which has an ethernet port that can be used to connect to the inverter.

Solar Power can be used for many different purposes. There are many small self sustaining projects that can be developed using a few solar panels, a charge controller, and and battery pack.

The video depicted here shows how you can use solar power to keep animals watered on a farm setting – even in the winter.

What are the advantages and disadvantagesof using solar power?

Mainly what are the plus/minuses of SOLAR THERMAL DISHES but any information you have on SOLAR POWER would be a great help!

Thanks, 10 points best answer!
Oh, and by the way!
I kinda mean using solar power for companies like as a alternative to using coal, not just for your own use at home by setting up your own private solar powered devices!

Thanks!

Photovoltaic

Solar Photovoltaic Cells

When light shines on a photovoltaic (PV) cell, there are three things that can occur – 1) it an be reflected, 2) it can be absorbed, and 3) it can pass through it. The PV cell is capable of converting light into electricity by the very nature of this semiconductor material. This material has properties of metals and insulators.
When a semiconductor absorbs light, photons of light can transfer their energy to electrons. The electrons in turn flow through the material as electrical current. This current flows out of the semiconductor to metal contacts and then makes its way out to power your home or send it beyond to the electric grid.

This video show how photovoltaic solar cells work to convert sunlight into useable energy.
