SMA WebBox Bluetooth compatible

Is your WebBox dead?
theSolarlink. is here to replace it.

A small Greek-made gateway that brings live monitoring back to your solar plant — with the inverters you already own.

A new reading every ~70 seconds — you see the plant almost in real time, not once every quarter of an hour
Bluetooth for the older inverters — the same channel the WebBox used, with PIN, PUK and NetID
RS485 for newer inverters and meters
A network cable to the internet — no WiFi, no dependencies

From the box to the first reading

One continuous shot, no cuts, with the timer running from start to finish. However long the video lasts is how long it takes at your plant.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing changes in your inverters’ production settings.

1
Step 1
Mounting
It goes next to the inverters. It needs power and one network cable — nothing else. The antenna sits outside the metal cabinet for a clean signal.
2
Step 2
Finding the inverters
It finds older units over Bluetooth (using the plant’s PIN and PUKs, locked to your NetID so it never picks up a neighbour’s inverters) or reads the RS485 line.
3
Step 3
Upload & control
It sends the readings to the portal on every cycle. You see production and faults; we change settings remotely, with no site visit.

Repair or replace?

A repair buys time. A replacement settles it once.

you run several plants and travel is expensive
you want issues solved remotely, without a technician on site

New hardware, with spare parts and support — and updates that arrive over the network.

Tell us about your plant

Why you need it

Thousands of solar plants relied on the WebBox to send their data. The product has been discontinued, and every unit that fails cannot be replaced.

The WebBox cannot be replaced

When it burns out or freezes, there is no new one to install. The plant is left with no logging and no remote view.

Whatever is out there is second-hand

Older inverters have no network

They cannot reach the internet on their own. Without a gateway, the data stays locked inside the inverter.

Something has to ask them

You find the fault on the bill

An inverter that stopped on Monday and was noticed the following month is lost production that never comes back.

And it never comes back

Frequently asked questions

What we get asked most on the phone.

Will it work with my inverters?

It is SMA WebBox Bluetooth compatible: it covers the inverters that worked with the WebBox over Bluetooth, plus other manufacturers over RS485. Send us the models and quantity and we confirm before you order.

Do I have to change anything on the inverters?

No. No production setting is changed and no unit is opened. We only need the PUK and NetID you already have.

What happens if the internet drops?

The device keeps reading and stores the measurements locally. As soon as the line is back it uploads them automatically — nobody has to drive to the plant.

Does it need WiFi?

No, deliberately. It connects to your router by cable, so Bluetooth stays reserved for talking to the inverters.

Who installs it and how long does it take?

Any electrician or PV technician, in 10–20 minutes. It needs power, a network cable and the inverter details.

Who builds it and who supports it?

Aineas Techniki in Thessaloniki, Greece — the workshop that has been repairing inverters and WebBox units for over ten years. Support comes from the same people who build it.
