Growatt Modbus Modbus Register 54: Solar Energy PV2 Total inverter

Technical Definition

The register Solar Energy PV2 Total inverter at address 54 is used to monitor solar energy pv2 total inverter on the Growatt Modbus.

• 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 Solar Energy PV2 Total inverter (Address: 54)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=54, 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: "Solar Energy PV2 Total inverter"
  address: 54
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total cumulative energy generated by PV2 array. Units: Wh (Watt-hours). Tracks lifetime solar production from the second string.

Troubleshooting: Stagnant value implies no generation since last reading or inverter fault. Verify PV2 performance and inverter logs.
