1. INFORMATION ON THIS DOCUMENT

The Modbus Protocol is a communication protocol that is currently used to establish solar PV system
communication, applied between Ksolare Energy’s grid-tied photovoltaic inverter and monitoring software.
The Modbus Protocol complies with RTU protocol specifications, allowing real-time status and operation
statistics on monitoring interface.
