Ah, that depends on the inverter!  On my SB3800 (I know as I had a look
inside), it only has one interface socket.
So you have either - a RS485  - or - a Bluetooth interface.  Not both.
I know some of the inverters have BT fitted as standard, so they may have a
socket for RS485.
Best check on SMA's website, I don't think any installers are asked for
extra interfaces very often.
