Photovoltaic Inverter Statistics Scanner and Uploader
PVStats is a tool used to connect to your inverter using Modbus TCP, scan for various power figures, and then upload the data to various report services.
Currently supported inverters include:
- Sungrow SG5KTL (TCP and RS485)
- Fronius (WiFi)
- SolaX X1-5.0-T (WiFi)
- TODO: Sungrow SH5K
- TODO: SMA Sunny Boy
Currently supported reporting methods include:
- PVOutput.org
- MQTT
- InfluxDB
- TODO: dweet.io
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
To install the PVStats via pip (Python Package Index)
pip install pvstats
First modify pvstats.conf with your inverter settings, and also pvoutput.org, MQTT or InfluxDB settings
/usr/bin/pvstats -f pvstats.conf
Currently this is a TODO, if you would like to assit with adding tests to the project, please do.
Explain what these tests test and why
