Device Sofar G3 Modbus Register 1670: Name inverter name pv energy total

Technical Definition

The register name inverter name pv energy total at address 1670 is used to monitor name inverter name pv energy total on the Device Sofar G3.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U DWORD
• Unit: kWh
• 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_energy_total (Address: 1670)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=1670, 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_energy_total"
  address: 1670
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
