SolarEdge InfluxDB monitor

this is a simple python tool to export SolarEdge inverter data to an InfluxDb https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/influxdb/ for monitoring purposes. It works by reading the inverter data from a SolarEdge inverter that has its ModBusTCP interface activated. It then connects via TCP and reads the SunSpec modbus registers via ModBusTCP. It requires Python 3.6+ to run.

Usage:

./solaredge.py [inverter IP]

In addition, you can specify additional flags to customize the tool:

• --influxdb specifies the IP or hostname of the InfluxDb (default localhost)
• --influxport specifies the port InfluxDb is running on (default 8086)
• --unitid specifies the ModBus ID used by the inverter (default 1)
• --port specifies the ModBus TCP port to connect to (default 502)
• -d or --debug activates debug logging
