SolarEdge has officially announced that the Monitoring API (API V1) will be retired on November 3, 2026. This is the API PVOutput currently uses for all SolarEdge automatic uploads.
SolarEdge is replacing API V1 with API V2, which is only available through the new SolarEdge Developer Platform. API V2 does not use a static API key. Instead, it requires:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- OAuth 2.0 authorization
- Access tokens (short‑lived)
- Refresh tokens (long‑lived)
This means PVOutput will need to update the SolarEdge Auto Uploader to support:
- OAuth authorization
- Token refresh
- API V2 endpoints
- Monthly credit usage limits
- Site authorization through the Developer Platform
SolarEdge has already begun notifying users by email and through the Developer Portal. API V1 will stop functioning after the retirement date, and PVOutput will no longer be able to retrieve SolarEdge data unless API V2 support is implemented.
I am posting this here to ensure PVOutput developers and maintainers are aware of the upcoming change and can begin planning the migration to API V2.
If needed, I can provide the SolarEdge retirement notice and details from the Developer Platform.
Thank you.
