Word of warning, The SAJ inverter WiFi reconnect sequence is one of the most complex. We’ve done our best to simplify the process as much as possible for the easiest reconnection experience. With no further ado let’s get your solar energy data back back with the PSW Energy SAJ Inverter WiFi Reconnect guide. The great news is that this is often only ever a minor issue. Chances are the solar energy system is still producing power, you simply can’t see this information being logged anymore through the SAJ eSolar Portal.

The following SAJ inverter WiFi reconnect guide applies to all SAJ WiFi-enabled inverters.
Likely causes
Ask yourself the following questions;
- Was there a blackout or a power outage recently?
- Has the modem been switched off for any reason recently?
- Have you recently changed to the NBN?
- Has the modem been changed or upgraded?
- Has the solar system been switched off recently?
- Has an electrician been working on the property?
If you answered yes to any of the above, there is a high chance your SAJ inverter disconnected from your WiFi network. Your inverter is now trying to communicate through an IP address no longer available from your modem.
You must know the steps to reconnect any WiFi-based device, as IP addresses will continue to change over the system’s lifetime. Here is how to get your SAJ inverter WiFi reconnected.
Note: If your inverter has disconnected from your WiFi network, this will not affect your solar energy system’s ability to produce energy. It will only prohibit communication to the SAJ Sunny Portal cloud server, allowing you to view your solar production information.
