node-red-contrib-solaredge-power 0.3.4

Node-RED node to interface with SolarEdge solar photovoltaic inverters API

npm install node-red-contrib-solaredge-power

SolarEdge Power node for Node-RED

This is a node for Node-RED to grab data from your SolarEdge inverter. You'll need an API key and your site ID. Talk to your solar PV installer if you need these. This is a fork of https://github.com/mattjgalloway/node-red-contrib-solaredge

by Yannick Simon

Installation

In your Node-RED directory:

npm install node-red-contrib-solaredge-power

Usage

This package adds 1 input node and 1 configuration node to Node-RED.

The configuration node defines the site and comprises the following options:

• Site ID: The ID of your site.
• API Key: The API key used to talk to the SolarEdge monitoring API. Must be a site API key, not an account users API key.

The input node comprises the following options:

• Site: The SolarEdge site, defined above.
• Command: The command to run against the SolarEdge monitoring API.
• Interval: The interval, in seconds, between calls to the monitoring API.

Commands

The following commands are supported:

• Details: This provides the overview of the system, including information such as the name, status, peak power, etc.
• Overview: This provides data such as the lifetime energy output, current power output, etc.
• Current Power Flow: Retrieves the current power flow between all elements of the site including PV array, storage (battery), loads (consumption) and grid.
• Inventory: Returns the inventory of SolarEdge equipment in the site, including inverters/SMIs, batteries, meters, gateways and sensors.
• Data Period: Returns the energy production start and end dates of the site.
• Env Benefits: Returns all environmental benefits based on site energy production: CO2 emissions saved, equivalent trees planted, and light bulbs powered for a day.
• Sensors: Returns a list of all the sensors in the site, and the device to which they are connected.
• List: Return a list of inverters/SMIs in the specific site..

For more information on the commands, see the SolarEdge monitoring API documentation.
