What is the TommaTech Next Generation Dongle LAN?
TommaTech Next Generation Dongle LAN is a monitoring accessory that connects the inverter to the internet over an Ethernet cable. A wired connection is preferred in installations that want a fixed network path instead of Wi-Fi, which is sensitive to signal fluctuations.
The model type is Dongle LAN 3.0. It uses a 10/100M Ethernet port and a 5 V 180 mA DC supply; data is uploaded at 5-minute intervals. According to the manufacturer, remote monitoring, control and software updates can be done through this device. It weighs 75 g and measures 112 x 45.7 x 28.5 mm.

What projects is it suitable for?
A wired connection makes sense in these cases:
- Inverter rooms in commercial buildings or factories with structured network cabling
- Technical rooms where the Wi-Fi signal is weakened by metal panels and walls
- Installations that want a continuous, uninterrupted data flow
Points to watch during installation
The Ethernet cable must be run between the inverter and the router or switch, and the cable route must be kept away from hot surfaces and sharp edges. Take care that the cable length does not exceed standard Ethernet distance limits.
Use in Antalya and Solar Nexo support
On hotel, business and factory rooftops in Antalya, the inverter is usually in technical rooms where the Wi-Fi signal may weaken; the LAN model solves this problem with a cable. The IP65 class and the -25°C ~ +75°C operating range indicate suitability for use in high summer temperatures too.
Solar Nexo plans the network cable route and connection point during installation and handles the portal registration. The product's datasheet can be downloaded from this page.
