SolisCloud

A small library to work with the Solis Cloud API for some simple data gathering and setting.

Prerequisites

Usage of the API requires an active account on https://www.soliscloud.com and also requires an API key and secret, to be obtained via SolisCloud.

• Submit a service ticket and wait till it is resolved.
• Go to https://www.soliscloud.com/#/apiManage.

• Once confirmed, you get the:
  • KEY_ID

  • API URL

Python use

Instantiation and simple use

from soliscloud import SolisCloud


s = SolisCloud(key_id="KEY_ID", key_secret="KEY_SECRET")

status, stations = s.list_stations()

first_station = stations[0]
first_station_inverters = first_station.list_inverters()
first_station_first_inverter = first_station_inverters[0]
first_station_first_inverter_schedules first_station_first_inverter.get_charge_discharge_schedules()

Charging schedules

For every inverter, there are three charging schedules.

One, two and three. Each one represents a charge and a discharge schedule.

Representation of each schedule consists of a charge start / end and current.

Just in case the schedule needs to be set on an individual inverter, the method set_charge_discharge_schedules is available on the inverter.

If you want to set the schedule at the SolisCloud level, this can be carried out using the method set_inverter_charge_discharge_schedule.

Managing schedules can be done using individual schedules or using the same schedule across all inverters.
