The CAN/485m connection goes off to the batteries. However, the next interface available is the RS485s connection, Sofar even gives you the correct connector to plug-in (it looks to me like a Phoenix/ Weidmüller Type).

We now need a cheap USB to RS485 (which is a two wire interface) to allow us to connect to our Raspberry Pi. Note RS485 is completely different from RS232, do not attempt to use the wrong interface. log-on to eBay and search for RS422 interfaces and you will have one in your possession within a few days. If you would like to read up about the differences between RS232, RS422 and RS485, please have a short Google search for them. RS422 and RS485 are similar, just full-duplex verses half-duplex.

Link the interface up with the inverter with a length of CAT5 pair of wire. Be sure to match-up the + and - connections on either end.
