Support other MPP Inverters than PIP

Get other MPP or subbrand inverters running:

Which inverter are you looking for? PIP isn't the only one supported right now.

• Growatt: https://esphome.io/components/sensor/growatt_solar.html

• Havells: https://esphome.io/components/sensor/havells_solar.html

• PipSolar: https://esphome.io/components/pipsolar.html

• Victron (via external component): https://github.com/Fabian-Schmidt/esphome-victron_ble

• EPEVER (via Modbus component): https://devices.esphome.io/devices/epever_mptt_tracer_an

• SUN-1000G2/SUN-2000G2: via Modbus component or my pull request: https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/4958

• Every other inverter with a Modbus (RS232/RS485) interface

You can also check if your inverter is supported by HomeAssistant (without ESPHome)

Dammn, sorry for that - was misleading and I’ve not even noticed ;-). I ment other MPP/EASun type inverters with slightly different protocol.

With python module mpp-solar, one can define the protocol by using the option „-p“ and then define the corresponding lingo for the inverter

[Mat931]

Do you know which protocol your inverter is using? Here is a list of protocols. (the files starting with PI)

Did you already test your inverter to make sure it isn't already supported by ESPHome? In the documentation it says that a wide variety of inverters can be used with the pipsolar component

If yours isn't supported you can check the protocol datasheet and modify the pipsolar component. You can ask for help on the Discord server.

Protocol Is Voltronic but somebody rename it as PIPSOLAR, but there is subversions for different model series.
