SolarEdge Inverter REST API

Super simple REST api to Solaredge Inverter, based on solaredge_modbus project and Flask. It is using MODBUS over TCP. Information how to turn on MODBUS over TCP in your Inverter can be found on solaredge documentation page or in included PDF

Usage

The api endpoint is /api/v1/solaredge and it is reachable by simple GET request:

Install

Docker

The simplest way to start it is by using docker:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e MODBUS_HOST=<ip_address_of_modbus_inverter_interface> -e MODBUS_PORT=<modbus_inverter_interface_port> benzino77/solaredge-rest-api

for example:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e MODBUS_HOST=192.168.10.5 -e MODBUS_PORT=1502 benzino77/solaredge-rest-api

The 1502 is a default port (I think).

Run locally

You can also run it locally (I do prefer to use python virtualenv for projects to keep my environment clean):

git clone https://github.com/benzino77/solaredge-rest-api
cd solaredge-rest-api
python3 -m venv myvenv
source myvenv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
MODBUS_HOST=192.168.10.5 MODBUS_PORT=1502 gunicorn --bind :8080 --workers 1 --threads 8 --timeout 0 server:app
