Datasheet ManualWhich 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 |

| 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.
