Hello,
I am hoping someone can tell me the proper way to configure PV Output for 2 inverters, 3 arrays, all linked to SAME SolarEdge Site ID and SAME API KEY? I can pull the data via the SE API directly, however that same data (and values) do not appear inside of PVO given the new inverter I’ve added. I’ve seen bits and pieces of this answered in other threads with similar, but not for this exact use case/scenario (I am used to being the one-off. lol).
SCENARIO:
- I have PVO currently setup for my SE6000H which has 2 arrays. I am trying to add my expansion.
- I expanded my system with a SE3000H with 1 additional array
- In theory, I expected the combined output to appear inside PVO as only SiteID is specified inside PVO, however it appears generation is not showing for the new inverter (or I’m looking at something incorrectly)
SYSTEM TOTALS:
-
2 Inverters, 3 arrays, all linked to the SAME SolarEdge Site ID.
-
The expanded system I am trying to add to PVO, but I’m not sure how to do this as it resides within the existing SolarEdge Site ID (which is the only value you can specify inside PVO setup)
REQUEST/QUESTION
-
How do I see combined generation of the scenario above in PVO and if possible, breakout generation by specific inverter?
-
I also have a Eagle 200 reporting net consumption feeding into the totals. Also, out of curiosity, which SE API does PVO use to pull in generation data?

From PVO Dashboard:
The difference between PVO (negative) and SolarEdge’s API (correct) output appears to be from the new inverter, so the question is, why isn’t PVO pulling in the combined generation from the same site ID?
Side feature request - I would be great if we could specify the SolarEdge inverter SN in the PVO site setup so data can be retrieved (from SolarEdge) using this value, and subsequently grouped and aggregated via that primary type key.
Any help in getting this sorted is greatly appreciated!!
Best Regards and thanks in advance!!
