The `solaredge` platform uses the [SolarEdge Monitoring API](https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/se_monitoring_api.pdf) to allow you to get details from your SolarEdge solar power setup and integrate these in your Home Assistant installation.

<div class='note'>

The SolarEdge Monitoring API has a daily rate limit of 300 requests. In order to stay under this limit, and allow for some additional requests, the `solaredge` platform will update the site overview every 15 minutes.

## Additional template sensor

In case you would like to convert the values for example to kWh instead of the default Wh, you can use the [template platform](/integrations/template).

{% raw %}

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry for template platform
template:
  - sensor:
    - name: solaredge_energy_this_year_template
      unit_of_measurement: kWh
      state: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"
```

{% endraw %}
