Fronius Wattpilot

Frequently asked questions

On this page we answer many questions about the Fronius Wattpilot.

Solar.web

Yes, multiple Wattpilots can be added to a PV system in Solar.web.
You can add your Wattpilot to your PV system in Solar.web in the tab "Settings" - "Components". 

If you have not yet created a PV system in Solar.web, register on www.solarweb.com and add your Wattpilot and paired inverter when creating the new PV system. When adding the Wattpilot to Solar.web we recommend that the Wattpilot currently has internet connection and is paired with the inverter. Nevertheless it is also possible to add an offline Wattpilot to Solar.web, but Wattpilot data will first be shown, when the Wattpilot is online and paired.

For Wattpilot data to be displayed in Solar.web, ensure the following:

  • The Wattpilot (as well as your inverter) must be added to your PV system in Solar.web in the tab "Settings" - "Components". If this tab is not visible, please ask your installer to assign you "Owner" or "Supervisor" rights for your PV system.
  • Both the Wattpilot and the paired inverter must be connected to the internet.The Wattpilot requires firmware version 36.0 or higher.
  • You can update your Wattpilot in the Solar.wattpilot app in the tab "Internet".
  • The Wattpilot needs to be paired with your inverter. Go to the tab "Settings" - "Cost Optimization" in the Solar.wattpilot app to pair your Wattpilot with an inverter.
  • If the paired inverter is a GEN24 or Tauro, firmware version 1.12 or higher is required. You can update your inverter in Solar.web in the tab "Settings" - "Components".
The Wattpilot must be paired with the new inverter in the Solar.wattpilot app in the "Settings" - "Cost optimization" tab. The inverter must be replaced in Solar.web in the "Settings" - "Components" tab. Afterwards, all Wattpilot data will be displayed again in Solar.web.

If the Wattpilot has no internet connection (e.g. due to weak WLAN), live and history data is not available in Solar.web. History data will not be restored when the Wattpilot reconnects to the internet.

Furthermore, Wattpilot data is only shown if the Wattpilot is paired with an inverter of the same PV system in Solar.web. For example, no data is displayed in Solar.web for periods when the Wattpilot Go is used on the go.
