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
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.
