Don't plug it in unless you have the expertise to already know the answer to that question. That should also be your advice to any friends/family. Plugging something like this into a network is a horrifically bad idea.
This is like asking people on the Internet how to safely mix random household cleaning chemicals. If you don't have the background to answer that yourself, you should not be doing household chemistry.
- pavon 2y agoI found out after our solar system was installed that the enphase inverter came with a cell modem for monitoring and remote management. Our installers didn't know how or even if it was possible to configure the system without one.
