On the construction site and for
better preparation
Here you will find a central overview for the commissioning of PLENTICORE, KSEM and ENECTOR. All relevant information, tools and downloads bundled in one place - quickly accessible and clearly organised for use on site and for better preparation.
Checklists & preparation
Good preparation makes installation much easier: Before commissioning, the necessary PLENTICOINs should be ready, access to the KOSTAL Solar Terminal set up and the KOSTAL Solar App installed. The compact "Commissioning" checklist is also recommended for a smooth process on the construction site.
- Provide PLENTICOINs: e.g. 3 for battery, 1 for each power level, 2 for ENECTOR comfort function
- Set upaccess to the KOSTAL Solar Terminal for the installer
- Set upaccess tothe KOSTAL Solar Terminal for the end customer
- Download and install the KOSTAL Solar app for quick commissioning via smartphone
Tip: For the installation and commissioning of KOSTAL devices, our Commissioning" checklist on the construction site is particularly suitable and also ensures better preparation.
Step by step to commissioning
The installation process at KOSTAL is well structured and can be implemented "step by step": Connect devices, check connection, update firmware and activate functions.
In this way, the PV system can be optimally installed, connected to the KOSTAL Solar Portal and the warranty activated in just a few steps - all to ensure a smooth handover to the customer.
The following steps are particularly important:
- Connect the inverter
LAN, RS485, connect accessories if necessary (KOSTAL BackUp Switch or Wallbox ENECTOR) - Check access
KSEM and inverter web interface accessible? Make a note of the IP. - Update firmware
Via web interface or KOSTAL Solar App - Enable functions
Battery, power, comfort functions via PLENTICOIN
Tip: Are you already familiar with our online operating instructions, e.g. for the PLENTICORE G3?
For more customer service
As a KOSTAL installer, you complete the commissioning of the PV system by setting up the KOSTAL Solar Portal and activating the Smart Warranty. This allows you to create real added value for your customers and set yourself apart from the competition - quickly done and professionally implemented. Your customers get immediate access to their PV system, can track yields transparently and benefit from up to 10 years of free warranty.
This additional service only costs you a few minutes, but makes a noticeable difference in the consultation and subsequent support - and increases the chance of recommendations.
Please note the following steps in particular:
- Set up KOSTAL Solar Portal for end customers
Create PV system, add devices, enter customer as owner - Activate KOSTAL warranty for end customers
Activate KOSTAL Smart Warranty in the via Solar App
KOSTAL Solar Terminal for your customer
Access to the KOSTAL Solar Terminal for end customers is set up by the customer themselves, as personal data must be entered and a password assigned. However, this step is necessary to give the customer full access to the KOSTAL Solar Portal later on - including independent monitoring and management of their PV system.
Tip for installers: To ensure that everything runs smoothly during commissioning, you should advise your customer in good time to fully set up access before the system is installed. This way, all digital functions are available immediately and the installation can be completed smoothly.
