Solaredge battery added to solar panels with SolarEdge inverter gives unreliable PV watt info #12

Hi rene,

I have a solar installation with a Solaredge inverter which worked just fine with your plugin. Yesterday we installed a Solaredge battery. The information we now get from the plugin (Watts) is no more reliable. I use this information to decide whether or not I will charge my hybride car battery. See the pictures below comparing the info from Solaredge and from your plugin.

Looking to the Solaredge API manual, I think the information I need to take this decision (to charge or not to charge) can be found in the Site Power Flow : currentPowerFlow root element, more specific PV.CurrentPower and Storage.chargelevel With this info I can check whether PV.CurrentPower is > 2000 watt and/or if the Storage.chargelevel is > 50%. This will more or less give me the certainty that I charge the car battery with solarpower.

Is it possible for you to add these info to the plugin?

Thanks for your help. Beste groeten Jos

Hi Rene,

I have solved the issue by modifying the Refresh function. Although it is not waterproof for future release, it will currently do the job. Greetings Jos
