Fronius: Granting Access

Summary

Fronius systems can be configured so that the Rewatt platform can use Fronius' API to connect to your site and transfer data. This method to retrieve data is simple and reliable. A user will login to Fronius' platform (https://www.solarweb.com/), navigate to the site they wish to grant Rewatt access to, and add Rewatt’s account to the list of users who have permission to access the site.
