Device Sofar G3 Modbus Register 1413: Name inverter name pv current

Technical Definition

The register name inverter name pv current at address 1413 is used to monitor name inverter name pv current on the Device Sofar G3.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: A
• Access: Read Only

How to Read (Python pymodbus)

Use this code snippet to read this specific value via RS485:

from pymodbus.client.sync import ModbusSerialClient

client = ModbusSerialClient(method='rtu', port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
client.connect()

# Read name_inverter_name_pv_current (Address: 1413)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=1413, count=2, unit=1)

if not result.isError():
    print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
    print("Error reading register")

client.close()

Integration (Home Assistant)

Paste this into your configuration.yaml:

- platform: modbus_controller
  name: "name_inverter_name_pv_current"
  address: 1413
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: PV Current (Amperes). The DC current generated by the solar panels.

Troubleshooting: Low/Zero: Panel issue, wiring fault, shading, or low irradiance. High: Inverter fault or abnormal panel conditions.
