Because the data of the solaredge transformers aren't stored locally but on the servers of solaredge I wanted to use my data locally, this way I can use the data in my own programs. I will show you how you can request your data on the solaredge website using Python.

Needed

For this instructable you only need the solaredge api key, id and your login credentials.

  • Go to solaredge
  • Press login, monitoring
  • Now you see your monitoring dashboard
  • Click the admin button
  • Click on site access
  • There you have to check api access
  • You have to generate a new key (button under api access)
  • Then you have to save
  • Under api access you need the api key and the installation ID
  • Overhere you can also find the manual where you can find many other funtions.

Coding

For a complete reference you can look at the manual.

The following Python script will display some usefull data. Just alter the key and the id in the script and run this script on your computer or server.
