i-Manager
The i-Micro inverter performs modular level DC to AC
inversion and collects and stores its own performance
information, which is sent to i-Energy’s i-Monitor via PLC
communications.
Connects to your Ethernet router and plugs into the AC
outlet closest to the breaker box. The i-Energy i-Manager
displays system status and key information.
Ethernet Router
i-Monitor
Transmits performance data from i-Energy i-Manager to the
i-Energy website.
i-Monitor is the internet based system monitoring displays
and tracks important system information, accessible from
any internet connection.

i-Manager
The i-Manager is a data communication device for i-Energy’s Solar Energy Monitor System. This device monitors
i-Energy i-Micro inverters connected to the photovoltaic modules. The i-Manager collects energy and performance
data from the i-Micro inverters over in-home AC power lines and forwards that data to the i-Energy i-Monitor via
the internet for statistical reporting.
