The Growatt RF Stick serves as an extension to the Shine Link Lanbox.
Up to 6 inverters can be connected to the lanbox. To connect an additional inverter to the lanbox, you need an additional RF Stick, which ensures that your additional inverter can also transmit a radio signal.
Monitor all your inverters via 1 Lanbox, without having to pull a LAN cable and without having to use the wifi.
For more information, see the shinelink lanbox datasheet.
DatasheetWhich Growatt dongle fits my inverter?
Growatt has two families of monitoring dongles. Everything with an X or X2 in the name (ShineWiFi-X, Wilan-X2, ShineLAN-X, Shine Link-X/X2, Shine RF Stick X2, Shine GPRS-X) plugs into the USB port. The ShineWiFi-S, Shine Link LANbox and the old ShineLAN plug into the RS232 port. The ShineWiFi-F is only for the off-grid SPF series.

| SPH 3000-6000 single-phase without UP (SPH 3000-6000 TL BL) | RS232 | ShineWiFi-S, Shine Link LANbox (+ RF stick) | The ShineWiFi-X does not fit here |
| SPH 3000-6000 TL BL-UP single-phase | USB | ShineWiFi-X, Wilan-X2, ShineLAN-X | “BL-UP” is printed on the type label |
| SPH 4000-10000 TL3 BH three-phase without UP | RS232 | ShineWiFi-S, Shine Link LANbox (+ RF stick) | The ShineWiFi-X does not fit here |
| SPH 4000-10000 TL3 BH-UP three-phase | USB | ShineWiFi-X, Wilan-X2, ShineLAN-X | “BH-UP” is printed on the type label |
| SPA 1000-3000 TL BL and SPA 4000-10000 TL3 BH(-UP) battery inverters | usually RS232 | ShineWiFi-S | Check the port on the underside (see below) or ask us |
| SPF 3000TL / 3500-6000 ES (off-grid) | WiFi/GPRS port | ShineWiFi-F | ShineWiFi-S and -X do not fit an SPF |

| NEO 600-1000M-X microinverter | built in | no dongle needed (WiFi version) | NEO …-RF version: ShineWeLink (max. 5 units) |
| NEXA 2000, NOAH 2000 plug-in battery | built in | no dongle needed (WiFi + Bluetooth built in) | |
| APX / ARK / AXE home battery, BMS | – | no dongle needed | The battery talks via the inverter; the dongle goes on the inverter |
Not sure? Look at the underside of the inverter: a round socket with a screw cap (you twist the dongle to lock it) = USB = X dongle. A rectangular 9-pin connector behind a plate marked “RS-232” (the dongle is fixed with two screws) = ShineWiFi-S. If the type label of your SPH says “UP”, it is always an X dongle.
