Thanks for this @Doublet !
The default scan interval for the rest sensor is 30 seconds. The update frequency is 5 minutes on Solax side, so the scan interval isn’t going to change things.
I have two Solax inverters (X1 and X3) and I saw in the API documentation there is a request limit of 10000/day. So I changed the sensor a bit, with the purpose of making one rest call and extracting the data I need for the sensors.
## X3 ##

And sensors to sum both inverters:
- platform: template
sensors:
solax_today:
friendly_name: Solax today
unit_of_measurement: kWh
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solax_x1_today') | float) + (states('sensor.solax_x3_today') | float) }}"
solax_now:
friendly_name: Solax now
unit_of_measurement: W
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solax_x1_now') | float) + (states('sensor.solax_x3_now') | float) }}"
solax_total:
friendly_name: Solax total
unit_of_measurement: KWh
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solax_x1_total') | float) + (states('sensor.solax_x3_total') | float) }}"
