External Solar Edge system monitoring
Hello,
I have a Fox system and a clamp is used to get reading from my existing SolarEdge system. However, it does not record the production of this system; i.e. daily, monthly or yearly SolarEdge production. Is there anyway I could access this information please?
Thank you

Hi, if this is a solar only inverter then the Fox cloud does not maintain these statistics, it’s only the Hybrids that have full statistics available.

What many people do is to set up a home assistant (a small micro computer such as a raspberry Pi), Fox have an OpenAPI and there are applications available that gather the information from the 5 minute samples and create the missing statistics.

Will has done a video that shows how to setup a home assistant and it shows the information available https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE_6HtzcyXg

Hello dear Dave and Ian,

I took the plunge and set up the Elfin EW11. It's powered up and working and I can access http://192.168.6.121/socket.html. Inverter status is NORMAL and I can see it generates power.

1. As in the Elfin guide, I connected RS485A(marked A in yellow) to pin 4 of the inverter (H1-G2 inverter with 16 pins), and RS485B(marked blue) to pin 3 of the inverter. They are steady and not loose.
2. Completed Settings -> Communication -> RS485 -> Device ID and check the slave ID. It is set to 247

However, when I set up integration using 'Ethernet to Modbus...', using Elfin EW11 with adapter ip 192.168.6.121 I get 'Error connecting your adapter or inverter. Ensure adapter is properly configured and is correctly wired ..... '

Please see the config details and please help.
Thank you so much.
