i-Micro inverter System Overview i-Micro inverter i-Manager Ethernet Router Breaker Box Power Line i-Monitor i-Micro inverter 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-Monitor Advantage Maximize Return with Real Time System Performance Monitor module level performance Immediate notiﬁcation if problem Measure Green House Emissions saved!
