This is a fork of the great work already done by Remko with his post: Solaredge Modbus Configuration for Single Inverter and Battery. For the HACS integration:
For who is this fork?
Remko’s original post was from Sep '22. Things have changed in the mean time. I used his code, but I had to change a lot because my entity names were not the same. My 3 devices were named:
- Solaredge I1
- Solaredge I1 M1
- Solaredge I1 B1
Also I wanted the bare essentials and no tariffs etc.
Backstory
From 2023 up till April 2025 I had a SolarEdge SE3K inverter. I wanted a SolarEdge Battery and this was not possible with this inverter. SolarEdge had a trade-in program (new inverter for the old), so I got the new SE5K-RWB48 (SE5K-HUB) with the SolarEdge Home Backup Interface (BI-EU3P) and 2 SolarEdge 48V Home Battery’s.
Up until the new system I ran the official SolarEdge integration in Home Assistant and that worked great. I got the same numbers as the Monitoring app from SolarEdge. This al changed with the new system. The numbers SolarEdge’s API gave me weren’t correct. Also within the app of my energy provider, where I also made a link to SolarEdge was providing very strange numbers.
I created a case with SolarEdge, and after some convincing that their numbers where wrong, they admitted that there was a problem:
Our monitoring system displays data based on numerous calculations and algorithms, and lately, we’ve noticed that this isn’t always calculated correctly on our end.
This is a long-standing bug in our monitoring portal.
A completely new monitoring system will be rolled out in the near future that will resolve these types of issues.
So left with nothing to see what my system was doing, I searched for a solution. The HA original integration “SolarEdge Local” didn’t work for me. So HACS to the rescue. There I found “SolarEdge Modbus”. But this didn’t worked also. And so I came to “SolarEdge Modbus Multi” and this one worked! I asked my installer to enable the Modbus TCP in my inverter and got to work.
This integration gave me a bunch of numbers, but I soon noticed that it didn’t gave me all the numbers I was looking for. Especially what my solar panels were doing, and where the power went. So more searching and reading. And that’s how I ended up with Remko’s post.
But… Like so many times getting it all to work wasn’t straightforward. The naming of my entity’s didn’t correspond with Remko’s. The recorder part shutdown all other recordings. Some naming was different. Dashboard was in the old style and many more things. Also I missed some key information in the main post, so I had to read a lot to get everything working.
So in this post I will try to give a complete manual of everything I did. If you see anything wrong, let me know!
I’ll assume that you already have Modbus TCP acces to you’re inverter and you have HACS installed in you’re Home Assistant.
- With HACS install the “SolarEdge Modbus Multi”. Then in “Integrations” add the “SolarEdge Modbus Multi”. I use 10 sec for ‘call frequency’ (haven’t had any problems with this high frequency), but you can change that if you want. I checked the boxes for “Automatic meter detection” and “Automatic battery detection” and left the others unchecked or standard.
Now this is key!! The naming of my devices is “Solaredge I1”, “Solaredge I1 M1” and “Solaredge I1 B1”. So an entity within my meter looks like this: sensor.solaredge_i1_m1_ac_power. This is key, because that’s where my files are based on.
- From the GitHub Remko’s created I only used 3 files: “energy_utilities.yaml”, “energy_stats.yaml” and "“electricity.yaml”. I changed the naming of the entities to mine, and also deleted some code that I didn’t find necessary like weekly numbers. Here are the 3 files: (check different entity names in the code below if they correspond to your entities!!)

With “File editor” (or any other similar editing program in Home Assistant) create a folder “solaredge” on top level (next to all your other HA files and folders). Within this folder create 3 files: “electricity.yaml”, “energy_stats.yaml” and “energy_utilities.yaml”. Copy the code from above.
-
In your “configuration.yaml” add the following code:
homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_named solaredge
customize:
sensor.solar_imported_power_kwh:
device_class: energy
sensor.solar_exported_power_kwh:
device_class: energy
sensor.solar_panel_production_kwh:
device_class: energy
sensor.solar_panel_to_house_kwh:
device_class: energy
sensor.solar_panel_to_battery_kwh:
device_class: energy
sensor.solar_grid_to_battery_kwh:

sensor.solar_battery_out_kwh:
device_class: energy
sensor.solar_battery_in_kwh:
device_class: energy
sensor.solar_house_consumption_kwh:
device_class: energy
Off course after this restart your Home Assistant.
That’s it! In my next post I’ll share what to put in your Energy dashboard, Remko’s adjusted dashboard with the right entity names and other helpful tips.
