SolaX Local

Connecting a SolaX inverter over your local network.

This integration polls a SolaX inverter directly over your home network, without going through SolaX Cloud. Because it talks to the inverter itself, readings arrive on a short interval and don't depend on an internet connection or SolaX's own servers being up.

If metrd can't reach your inverter on your local network, see SolaX Cloud instead.

What it provides

• Live solar generation
• Live battery charge/discharge rate and state of charge (hybrid models)
• Live grid import/export
• House load, where the inverter reports it

The exact set of readings depends on your inverter model - a hybrid inverter with a battery reports more than a grid-tie-only unit.

Supported devices

metrd includes dedicated support for the following SolaX inverter families:

• X1-Boost
• X1-Boost Mini G4
• X1-Hybrid G1
• X1-Hybrid G4
• X1 Four MPPT
• X1 Split Phase
• X3-Hybrid G1
• X3-Hybrid G2
• X3-Hybrid G4
• X3-Hybrid G5
• X3-MIC
• X3-MIC Pro G2
• X3-20K/30K

Several hardware and firmware revisions of the same inverter family are handled automatically, so you shouldn't need to know your exact revision - just the general model. If your SolaX inverter isn't in this list, get in touch; new devices are added as they're requested.

Connecting

You'll need:

• The inverter's IP address on your local network
• Its local access password (set on the inverter's screen, or via the SolaX Cloud(opens in new tab) app under the inverter's Wi-Fi/network settings)

metrd polls the inverter on a regular interval to keep the display up to date. If a poll fails - a brief network hiccup, for instance - it retries automatically before the reading is marked as missing.
