Savant Power & Light App - Adding Power Sources
| Document Date: | July 2025 |
| Document Supports: | Savant OS 11.1 and higher SP&L Version 3.3 and higher |
Overview
This guide is one of several that describe the functions within the SP&L app. For links to all available articles, refer to the Savant Power & Light App – Initial Smart Panel Configuration.
Wiring Setup
Savant Power Storage 20/50
For more information on wiring a Savant Power Storage System, see the Savant Power Storage 20 Installation Guide or Savant Power Storage 50 Installation Guide.
Tesla & Enphase
Follow the diagram and instructions below to establish communication between the Director and a Tesla or Enphase inverter. For more information on Tesla integration see the Savant Load Management with Tesla Powerwall - Supplemental Integration Guide. For more information on Enphase integration see the Savant Load Management with Enphase - Supplemental Integration Guide.
IMPORTANT!
- Ethernet and auxiliary contact location will vary between inverter types.
- The inverter and the Director must be connected to the same home network (wired or Wi-Fi).
- A microgrid power source and Savant Director must be on the same subnet to be able to communicate.
- Enphase inverters require a GPIO connection between the inverter and Director. Savant recommends, but does not require, a GPIO connection between a Tesla inverter and Director; however, if the GPIO is being used to detect the grid, the GPIO on the Director must be connected to Aux 3/4 on the Tesla Gateway. Follow the steps below:
Configuring Tesla for Grid Detection
- Connect the GPIO on the Director to Aux 3/4 on the Tesla inverter.
- From the Tesla Pros app, navigate to Settings > Advanced Settings > Low Voltage Relay Control and set Configuration Type to Off-grid Load Shedding, then DONE.
SolarEdge
Follow the diagram below to establish communication between the Director and a SolarEdge inverter.
IMPORTANT!:
- Ethernet port location will vary between inverter types.
- The inverter and the Director must be connected to the same home network (wired or Wi-Fi).
- A microgrid power source and Savant Director must be on the same subnet to be able to communicate
- SolarEdge support must be contacted to unlock the inverter so a Director is able to communicate to it.
FranklinWH
The diagram below is an example of the communication between a Savant Director and a FranklinWH inverter. There is no physical connection to the Director, however the FranklinWH must be connected to the Franklin Cloud for successful communication with Savant
IMPORTANT!:
- The Franklin cloud API only updates every 5-15 minutes so energy data shown in the Savant App may be delayed.
Power Source Settings
This section covers all inverter settings and their definitions. All settings listed within this section must conform to the parameter settings according to site design listed in the inverter specific Savant Power System Deployment Guide.
IMPORTANT! To connect an Inverter’s IP address to the Home, select the menu icon at top right, and choose Devices on Network.
