Some people like to change modes under what conditions their battery discharges or charges. I don’t have a battery so I can’t say why this would be useful or not.
The integration only supports reading and reporting battery data. It does not support sending commands to change battery modes yet. Storage and site limit controls are available since Release v2.2.7.
It is useful if you have a time of use tariff, you can of course do this via the SolarEdge installer tools (SetApp) if you have access to them (rumoured to be coming to the consumer facing app this year).
Even if you do have access to SetApp there are certain configurations that are impossible e.g. in my case I don’t want to drain the battery when off-peak power begins because I want that power to be used in the morning during the on-peak time.
I have these automations:
This script is also worth a look to see what can be done:
This was the beginning of my research, wich ended up with @Remko old setup and additional alternative solutions.
I am really happy to have full storage control with automated predictive charging to maximize production and the ability to care about the storage‘s aging.
In personal contact with fredlcore, he told me the script isn‘t in use any more, since he switched to FEHM. But if he will find some time in unknown future, he thought about developing predictive charging on an ESP32 board as a standalone solution for solcast + solaredge.
@SgtBatten
Did you change your energy.yaml to work with this integration? If so, could you please share it?
@Remko
Can you provide details on how to add multiple inverters to the energy.yaml? I have three inverters and I am trying to figure out where to add xxx_i2 xxx_i3 into the code.
What is FEHM? What additional alternative solutions did you end up with?
FHEM is another middleware for house automation like ioBroker or in our case HassIO.
You can look at this post for my alternative:

Hi,
So if I am understanding you correctly, the values that I am seeing here indicate I do not have a meter properly configured or configured at all?
Inverter 1 meter 1: C_SunSpec_DID 0x2bd
Inverter 1 meter 1: C_SunSpec_Length 0x99
Inverter 1 meter 2: C_SunSpec_DID 0xffff
Inverter 1 meter 2: C_SunSpec_Length 0x0
Inverter 1 meter 3: C_SunSpec_DID 0x0
Inverter 1 meter 3: C_SunSpec_Length 0x0
I am in a single inverter, no battery situation. 3800H model inverter, in the US.
Note, I have changed both RS485-1 and RS485-2 to be both in Follower or Leader state and it makes no difference.
Thanks
No, the inverter doesn’t have a meter.
You could take the cover off the inverter (shut everything down first: switch the red switch off, wait for it to shut down, turn off the DC safety switch and turn off AC power) and look inside to see if anything is wired to the RS485 ports.
SolarEdge systems do not generally ship with or come with E+I or consumption meters. The only exception I’m aware of is the revenue grade production meter pre-installed in some models. If your installer didn’t say anything about a meter and you don’t see a meter in your SolarEdge monitor app, you probably didn’t get one. I didn’t get a meter either with my install, I added it 2 months later.
I am looking for a little help on my template. I have three inverters and no batteries. I attempted to edit and use the template that b80k provided UPDATED! SolarEdge Modbus full setup guide with Energy Dashboard integration for Installations with Battery connected - #360 by b80k. But I am not 100% sure I edited it correctly. I attempted to take out the battery configs and add my third inverter. I am now getting an error. The template I modified has never worked so there could be more issues. I can somewhat guess what the code is doing but I am no coder.
Error:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried to modify my “energy.yaml” to match the setup with 3 inverters and no battery. I am not sure if it is all correct, since I cannot test this, but here you go. You will have to use the integration I use as well (linked in the first post) and I am assuming you have one Import/Export meter in your setup as well (not 3 or so). Also the configuration for the Lovelace cards would need to be modified of course, since you have no “grid to battery”, “battery to house” or “panel to battery” of course.
I hope this works for you.

Remko, thank you! I really appreciate your help. There is only one issue I have, sensor.solar_exported_power_w and sensor.solar_panel_to_grid_w I am getting a value of zero. This value never changes from zero so I assume it’s in the calculations, and due to the removal of the battery sensors. I did find on line 387 (in notepad++) there is a reference to sensor.solaredge_b1_state_of_energy. Should that be something different? See the screen cap of what I am seeing. Sorry the forum only lets me post one picture since I am a new user.
I’ll look at it tomorrow and see if I can find an error.
I have a 7600H with both the Production and E/I meter - the dropdown in the selection box is actually Production +E/I meter and the data on the solaredge cloud monitoring site looks reasonable. I’m just starting to try to figure out why my data into HA isn’t making sense, but I also see similar text as above in my debug log.

Inverter 1 meter 3: C_SunSpec_DID 0xffff

Edit: Re-reading the above posts again, I now better understand, that the issue showing that bcink's setup didn't have a meter was that the DID value wasn't 0x1 and Length of 0x41 instead of having an Inverter 1 meter 1 type of format. Sorry for the extra spam.The built in RG meter uses CT 1 and 2 for line, and the CT 3 input internally for production. It’s still physically a single meter so it only reports as one meter, just doing the job of two meters in software.
I would assume that A and B associated sensors are for line (consumption or E+I) and C associated sensors would be production. If the meter identifies as single or split phase then the C associated sensors are disabled by default so you’ll need to select them and enable the entity in HA.
Thank you for replying to my very poorly written post, and thank you for all of your work on this. By connecting to the inverter access point, I can confirm what you are describing as shown under meter status. Line 1 and 2 for the meter show 120v each and associated watts (for export at this time). The third line is labeled as inverter production, 241v. (US Split phase). The solar production is being received in home assistant as the Solaredge M1 AC Power sensor, but after enabling all the entities, nothing is reflecting the E/I portion. Any suggestions if this is an inverter set-up communication issue or other troubleshooting suggestions? Thanks again.
Post all of the debug lines for Inverter 1 meter 1
Thanks - I skipped some of the inverter 1 lines (not referencing meter 1), let me know if there’s something else I should look for.

So yeah the bad news is that it’s only reporting the production values on phase C (which is correct for how they are hooked up), while the A and B values are all zero. My guess is because it’s a “combo” device they picked one of the sets of values to report over modbus, and it happens to be the production values. The modbus specs only mention three types: Export + Import, Production, and Consumption. So based on this each “meter” reported over modbus is a single type vs. internally where its treated as a double duty device.
You could try contacting SolarEdge support to ask them if there’s a setting in the inverter they can push from their side change the Meter 1 modbus reported values to be associated to E+I values instead of production, but that’s not something I’ve ever tried personally to know what they would say if it’s possible or not.
Thanks for checking. I’ll reach out to SolarEdge and see if I can get a response. The setup from the access point has a different option (Inverter Production +E/I) than what I’ve seen other people noting for their setups, so maybe this is a “newer” setup not yet documented in the modbus specs. I’ll post back if I get any solutions.
Hi Remko,
Great stuff as usual! I’ve moved over to this implementation a couple weeks back, and looking good so far.
With my Battery set up, I’m getting increased situations where my house consumption figures aren’t matching what’s being either pushed from solar, supplied by the battery or imported from the grid. Narrowing it down, it appears to be related to the battery calculation in the house consumption sensor, as a result of a bad (zero) value of the Battery Effectiveness. Sometimes get a Battery effectiveness value of “unavailable”, which then means my “battery to house w” output is zero (thanks to a multiply by zero).
The symptons are that when compared against the solarEdge monitoring website, the house consumption is just too low…
I must admit, I’m a little light on knowledge about the battery and inverter effectiveness but can I suggest a change to the battery effectiveness template set up to help handle sensors that aren’t quite ready.

Should perhaps read

{% if (is_state('sensor.solar_battery_effectiveness', 'unknown') or (solar_battery_effectiveness == 0) or (is_state('sensor.solar_battery_effectiveness', 'unavailable'))) %}
1
{% elif (i1_dc_power + b1_dc_power <= 0) %}
{% if (b1_dc_power >= 0 or i1_dc_power <= 0) %}
{{ battery_effectiveness }}
{% else %}

{% endif %}
{% else %}
{{ battery_effectiveness }}
{% endif %}
With this, we at least get a 1 for our battery effectiveness initially instead of “unavailable”, and onwards from there, if I’ve understood the logic of self referencing previous values, it should work.
As a note, I’ve also modified the wider configuration a little more to accept time of day tariff values, as with my battery and autumn/winter looming, I’m charging the battery during off peak time from my energy provider (managed to talk my way into an EV car tariff without an EV car), and wanted a way in HA to monitor what my spend “would have been” without PV and a battery (based purely on house consumption), vs. what my spend is now (imported elec only, topping up the solar/battery combination). I’ve done this to help me track savings as a result of buying PV & Battery earlier this year.
I’ve also had to do this as the solarEdge monitoring doesn’t present the right information after a charge, I read in the preivous post something about SolarEdge not knowing where the power came from, so go minimal on the information about what solar was generated for that day; they will show zero, until your house consumes as much electric as you charged the battery.
If anyone is interested in the setup/configuration, I’d be happy to spend a bit of time one evening pulling together the automation/config to help inspire someone else.
