# Setup Guide: Energy Gateway

---

**Important**

- You will need a compatible inverter to connect your Energy Gateway. Please see our list of compatible inverters: https://docs.srcful.io/energy-gateway/compatible-inverter/

## Getting started

1. **Connect the Energy Gateway** to the internet using an Ethernet cable, and power it on by connecting the power cable.

2. **Wait approximately 10-15 minutes** for the Energy Gateway to start up and fetch the latest firmware.

3. **If you wish to use Wi-Fi** instead of Ethernet, you can remove the Ethernet cable at this point.
