The solax integration connects home-assistant to Solax solar power inverters. Solax inverters may be connected to a home Wi-Fi network and expose a REST API. This integration retrieves information such as photovoltaic power production, battery levels and power, and how much power is being fed back into the grid.

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use the Solax sensors in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: solax
    ip_address: IP_ADDRESS

{% configuration %} ip_address: description: The IP address of your Solax system. required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}

{% linkable_title Optional template sensor %}

If you would like to convert the values from multiple panels or view the total power the house is using, you can use the template platform.

{% raw %}

# Example configuration.yaml entry for template platform
sensors:
- platform: template
  sensors:
    total_pv_power:
      friendly_name: "Total PV Power"
      unit_of_measurement: 'W'
      value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.pv1_power') | float) + (states('sensor.pv2_power') | float) }}"
    load_power:
      friendly_name: "Load Power"
      unit_of_measurement: 'W'
      value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.power_now') | float) - (states('sensor.exported_power') | float) }}"
