+
+The `solaredge_local` platform uses the local API available on some SolarEdge Inverters to allow you to get details from your SolarEdge solar power setup and integrate these into your Home Assistant installation.
+
+Only specific models support the local API. The local API is available on the SExxxxH-US models with SetApp as well as European three-phase inverters SEXXK-XXXTXBXX4 models with SetApp like SE3K-E10K, SE12.5K-SE27.6K and SE33.3K. Please check the datasheets carefully if in the section "Additional Features", sub-section "Inverter Commissioning" is present the following line "With the SetApp mobile application using built-in Wi-Fi access point for local connection".
+
+You can check by finding the IP address of your inverter and visiting it in a browser. If it supports the local API, you'll see the SolarEdge logo and a "Commissioning" menu.
+
+<p class='note'>
+If your inveter does not support the local API, you can use the [cloud based version](/components/solaredge/) instead.

+## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
+
+To use the SolarEdge sensors in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  platform: solaredge_local
+  ip_address: IP_ADDRESS
+```
+
+{% configuration %}
+ip_address:
+  description: The IP Address of your SolarEdge inverter.
+  required: true
+  type: string
+name:
+  description: Let you overwrite the name of the device in the frontend.
+  required: false
+  default: SolarEdge
+  type: string
+{% endconfiguration %}
+
+### {% linkable_title Full configuration sample %}
+
+A full configuration entry would look like the sample below.
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  - platform: solaredge_local
+    name: SolarEdge
+    ip_address: 192.168.1.123
+```
+
+In case you would like to convert the values for example to kWh instead of the default Wh, you can use the [template platform](/components/sensor.template/).
+
+{% raw %}
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry for template platform
+sensors:
+  platform: template
+  sensors:
+    solaredge_energy_this_year_template:
+      value_template: '{{(states.sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year.state | float / 1000) | round(2)}}'
+```
+{% endraw %}
