ReadyEdge
Purpose-built for Off-Grid and Hybrid Solar Systems
The ReadyEdgeTM (RE-1) is a single-point device for system-wide measurement, detection, and data collection. With built-in software tailored to the needs of off-grid and hybrid off-grid applications, it integrates essential functions such as cloud connectivity and industrial protocol support (SNMP, Modbus™) directly into the platform.
ReadyEdge can operate as a stand-alone device or be paired with up to sixteen (16) compatible Morningstar charge controllers and inverters, aggregating performance data into the LiveView 2.0 dashboard for local or optionally Morningstar Solar Connect for cloud visibility. In addition to data visibility, it also manages auxiliary charging sources, including generators, fuel cells, and AC chargers—critical for hybrid system reliability.
Smarter Off-Grid System Control
The ReadyEdge™ brings everything you need for reliable off-grid and hybrid solar system management into one compact device. Purpose-built for solar applications, it gives you full visibility and control—from system monitoring to generator management—without the complexity of add-ons or custom integrations.
