Universal Solar Inverter over Modbus RS485 / TCP custom_component (Growatt, Sofar, SolaX, Solis)

Jean_Slootmans · May 25, 2021, 2:45pm

Hi Will,

I posted a question on your personal github page, but had no reply so far. So I repeat it here:
Would very much appreciate your help.
I have a new X3 Hybrid 10 kW with 3 x 5.8 kWh Solax Triple Power batteries.
Here in Flanders we will be charged extra when we have a high power consumption, called “capacity tariff”. The distributor measures the consumption per 15 minutes and takes the highest peak of a month to calculate the distribution costs.
To be able to limit power consumption peaks when the battery is empty, I can switch from 12 % min charge to 10 % min charge by writing to holding register 32. So the remaining 2 % become available to the house, lowering the current 15 minute peak value.
However, when the inverter is in “Idle Mode” it takes more than a minute before it starts producing (first performs a 1 minute self check).
Do you know a way to speed up this process? Some register to wake the inverter instantly? Or a way to prevent it from going into “idle mode”?
Also, do you know if the inverter automatically starts charging the battery from the grid if I have used the 2 % and switch the low limit back to 12 %? The operation mode is “Self Use”

Thanks in advance
JP

I have responded on GitHub, I kept meaning to reply but I forgot sorry.

Hi all,

I have a Solax X3 9.0 T D, which is equipped with an RJ45 connector on the “RS485/Meter” port. I tried connecting using a USB-to-RS485 dongle, using the blue wire as A and the blue-white wire as B, however I get no reply from the inverter (0 bytes received, says pymodbus). My questions:

Is the wiring correct? I used the setup described under “Meter” in the manual, but I’m not sure it’s correct and can’t find info on other types of wiring.
Does the interface somehow need to be enabled in the menus of the X3? If so, I have no control over that, it seems.

Thanks,

Bart

Does anyone know what Solax Hybrid X3 run mode ‘11’ means? 2 = normal, 9 = idle, but what is 11?

barche · June 1, 2021, 7:42am

I made some progress on this using indeed pins 4 and 5 for RS485 comms and lowering the baud rate, but now I get an error that the register addresses are illegal, even though I am using the same numbers as in the X3 yaml config. I am using a USB-to-RS485 dongle with the ch341 chip: Products | Joy-IT

EDIT: This is solved now, see Add support for RS485 Solax X3 by barche · Pull Request #16 · InfernoEmbedded/PowerScraper · GitHub

I think it’s “PV Wake Up Bat” ( source: PV SolaX inverter cloud sensors via API )

Jean_Slootmans · June 2, 2021, 9:54am

@Bart,

thank you for the link. I have been playing around with the “grid tied limit” and noticed that the run mode 11 came on when the battery was on the low limit of 10 %, so “battery awaken” sounds logical.

Hi, I am currently using the solax pocket wifi 2 usb dongle to get the data off my solax inverter, which is not ideal as I have had to set up a dns server to redirect dns request for www.eu.solaxcloud.com and mqtt01/mqtt02.solaxcloud.com to my raspberry pi AP/HA setup, and I then read the mqtt data in HA.

I have also used the curl command, which was more reliable than mqtt, but more work to get it to working within HA.
With mqtt the inverting does reqsynctime and then waits for a respsynctime from solaxcloud, and then sends a Synctime mqtt message when its sync’ed. Because there is no response from my mqtt broker for reqsynctime it sometimes goes off line/hangs with no mqtt messages - this can be for minutes or sometimes hours and then the inverter starts sending data again.

I have found this doc with pocket wifi teardown:
https://fccid.io/2AMEH-POCKETWIFI/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photos-3499969

This is the wifi module they are using:

https://en.mxchip.com/productinfo/244895.html

Has anyone tried to make there own dongle with tasmota to get the data off, then send over mqtt.
Basically I am wanting to have a setup like a sonoff switch with tasmota, easy to configure and use with HA.

I am on my 3rd pocket wifi, one was replaced when the invert failed a few months after install, and a second one failed after a couple of years use - both replaced under warranty which was good except for the 2 weeks wait for replacement to arrive, so looking for something more reliable.

I am wondering if I could use the USB port for power/data to an ESP8266 module, or use a RS485 module to serial UART and connect that to a ESP8266 WIFI with tasmota on it.

Something like this dutch guy has done with his energy meters:

Anyone with Solax X1-Hybrid Generation 4? I would like to know If the Modbus RTU works on these new models.

bigmotherwhale · July 2, 2021, 11:43pm

Hello I have recently bought a Solax X1 hybrid, Im looking to connect my own HV battery so i need a capture of the CAN-bus on start-up, is there anyone here that can help? Thanks

luisaraujo · July 20, 2021, 6:27pm

Wills, after the update to core-2021.7.3, looks modbus changed, my solax entities stoped to work. I believe i have to change something in the solax.yaml under packages.
Can you point in the right direction?

Hi,

I have made some changes to the group read for the Solax X3 so that it works with the new home assistant.

I have updated my GitHub in case you haven’t noticed with the changes for 2021.7.x

wills106 · August 10, 2021, 4:42pm

Very very early stage of a custom_component

Look at the known issues, it’s more proof of concept at the min.
I don’t plan on adding HACS support yet, so don’t ask.

Can I ask what firmware version yr SK-SU5000 is running? Mine is very old so I need to ask Solax for a firmware file for update and a procedure to install.

matthewjporter · August 29, 2021, 8:48am

@robb1

This is the version I have. I managed to get it from another forum as SolaX are useless at support and dont understand why we want the latest version etc

robb1 · August 29, 2021, 10:06am

Thanks. Mine is 2 yrs older : SolarSingle&Charger_20140708.
I will try Solax first and then look further if they don’t oblige.

matthewjporter · August 29, 2021, 7:48pm

Happy to DM you the links and the F/W

Do so at your own risk as I bricked mine and had to take it apart, connect direct to the board and flash

No big deal just a bit or a brown undies moment
