I’ve designed a solar system and would like to include power optimisers so I can monitor individual panels and avoid impacts from occasional shading. Enphase seems cool, but a bit overpriced and way too much lock-in for my comfort level. So I’m leaning towards Solar Edge who seems to be the leader here, and their product seems solid, but from what I can tell it’s a cloud polling solution with a reasonably generous API. I’m comfortable using modbus/tcp having set this up on our heat pump, and it seems that some folks have had some luck using this with solaredge products. What I’m wondering is whether there are some alternative options I can go with to pull data directly off individual panels alongside inverter data. Are there alternative products I’ve not noticed that may work better with a similar kind of performance?
