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.
<p class='note'>
The SolarEdge Monitoring API has a daily rate limit of 300 requests. In order to stay under this limit, and alow for some additional requests, the `solaredge` platform will update the site overview every 5 minutes.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To use the SolarEdge sensors in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
{% raw %}
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: solaredge
api_key: API_KEY
site_id: SITE_ID
monitored_conditions:
- current_power
- last_day_data
```
{% endraw %}
{% configuration %}
api_key:
description: Your SolarEdge Site API key.
required: true
type: string
site_id:
description: The id of your SolarEdge Site.
required: true
type: string
name:
description: Let you overwrite the name of the device in the frontend.
required: false
default: SolarEdge
type: string
monitored_conditions:
description: SolarEdge Site information to be monitored. The following conditions can be monitored.
required: false
type: list
default: current_power
keys:
life_time_data:
description: Lifetime energy generated at your SolarEdge Site in Wh
last_year_data:
description: Energy generated this year at your SolarEdge Site in Wh
last_month_data:
description: Energy generated this month at your SolarEdge Site in Wh
last_day_data:
description: Energy generated today at your SolarEdge Site in Wh
current_power:
description: Current generated power in W
{% endconfiguration %}
If no **monitored_conditions** are specified, only **current_power** will be enabled.
### {% linkable_title Full configuration sample %}
A full configuration entry would look like the sample below.
{% raw %}
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: solaredge
api_key: API_KEY
site_id: SITE_ID
name: SolarEdge
monitored_conditions:
- current_power
- last_day_data
- last_month_data
- last_year_data
- life_time_data
```
{% endraw %}
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_last_year_data_template:
value_template: '{{(states.sensor.solaredge_last_year_data.state | float / 1000) | round(2)}}'
```
{% endraw %}
