SolaX Power
SolaX Power 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.
Honeycomb/Solar Shades (Cordless)
I could install corded blinds, but we love the look w/o cord (and with toddler, its safer w/o cord). We love the solar shades, as they are extremely efficient, easy install, look good (great contrasts) and are cost effective for our needs. Just hoping I can continue to buy them, and add automation to specific ones (theatre room) in the future.
Running Devices When Energy is Cheaper and Greener
HA seems to be a good choice to run devices when energy is cheaper and greener, but I couldn''t find any specific automations to assist with this task. What are you doing to time shift your devices to the ''solar soak'' window to reduce costs and maximise consumption of renewable energy? I quite like the execution of Amber Electric Smart Shift, but it isn''t available
Optimizing HVAC (Air Conditioning) Efficiency with Surplus Solar
A few minutes later the grid demand is back down, as the automation turned off cooling. So, on sunny days the automation is more effective. On cloudy days, the automation prevents large demand charges from my utility. As the temperature rises during the summer, I have another automation to pre-cool the home prior to 14:00.
SolarEdge
The SolarEdge integration allows you to get details from your SolarEdge solar power setup and integrate these in your Home Assistant installation.

PV Excess Control
Hi everybody, I used the power of pyscript and the easy-to-use-approach of blueprints to implement an extensive solar excess optimization, which lets you auto-control your appliances based on power excess of your PV / solar system. Please let me know if you have questions, if you do encounter any bugs, or if you have feature requests. For the last two

Growatt Integration
I have two Growatt inverters that are working great for the past 6 months. The Growatt integration has been less great. Most of the time it is working fine, but as soon as I loose internet connection or something goes wrong with the Growatt server, I loose functionality with my automations. This has happened a couple of times already. I have just discovered Solar
Options for Sunpower solar integration?
I''m looking to integrate my Sunpower solar power panel reporting into HA. I''ve found two Github repos which appear to solve this problem, but this leaves me with more questions.

Optimizing use of unused Solar Power to charge a Tesla
I approach this slightly differently. Using a 2 minute low pass filtered average of my total inverter output power I subtract my known house base load (450W) and the only other large load, my hot water heater actual power consumption. If the excess is greater than 2.5kW, the "excess_solar_power" template binary sensor turns on.

Automating climate control with Solar PV output?
Hi, I have a Solar PV system. Every unit I export to the grid I am paid a pittance and every unit I import from the grid is pretty expensive. What I would like to do is set home assistant to lower the temp on my 2 AC units down to the lowest whilst only using the power I generate as much as possible. The AC and the solar system are both already integrated into
Solar export auto consumption
Hi, Im new to solar and to home assistant but enjoying learing a few nice dashboards or automations. Ive also installed Node Red to simplify things hopefully Im using a Shelly EM to monitor the grid and the solar production. Unfortunatly my Solis inverter is not easily supported by HA so i was ok with using Shelly EM. Ideally i would like to have a solar divrter

How to automate my awning (sunscreen)
Hi, I just set up hassio on a Pi3, got Z-Wave up and running, and created my first automation for switching off my kitchen boiler at night. Very happy so far! Now my challenge is to automate the awning (or in Dutch: zonnescherm / sunscreen). Automating it would probably involve things like: temperature (the awning only needs to be extended at higher

Solar PV and Invertor
The handiest automation I have is one that switches on my geyser if my battery is fully charged. I use Home Assistant as the timer for my geyser - switch on every day at 15:00 for 3 hours - but also to switch it on when the battery is at 100% to avoid sending power to the grid (I can''t sell power back to the grid).
