Configuration steps
Prerequisite: each inverter is already added to your iSolarCloud account and visible in the web portal or mobile app.
-
Gather the API credentials
iSolarCloud → Settings → Open API gives you:
API Key, Access Key, and RSA Key. -
Create a read-only user (recommended)
In Users & Roles add a dedicated “API” user and limit its rights to Read. -
Add the driver in SmartgridOne
-
Integrations → Add device
-
Choose iSolarCloud API
-
Fill in the fields:
Field Example Username / Password api_user / S3cureP@ss
API Key / Access Key / RSA Key values from step 1 Location filter 100;101
(optional – semicolon list)Command type default (active-power limit)
Save – every inverter belonging to the selected locations will appear automatically.

Metrics exposed
Key | Description | Unit |
---|---|---|
actualPowerTot_W | Instantaneous AC power of the PV plant | W |
producedEnergyDeltaTot_Wh | PV energy since previous read-out ¹ | Wh |
importedEnergyDeltaTot_Wh | Grid import energy (if provided by Sungrow) | Wh |
exportedEnergyDeltaTot_Wh | Grid export energy (feed-in) | Wh |
¹ The driver integrates power over time when absolute kWh counters are not available.
Troubleshooting
- HTTP 401 / 403 – double-check the API credentials and that the user has API access enabled in iSolarCloud.
- No inverters discovered – verify the location ID list; leave the field empty to fetch all plants associated with the account.
- Curtailment ignored – some older Sungrow firmwares don’t honour active-power limits; switch the driver to Alternative command mode (ON/OFF) in the settings.
