Growatt Modbus Modbus Register 56: AC Charge Energy Today inverter

Technical Definition

The register AC Charge Energy Today inverter at address 56 is used to monitor ac charge energy today 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 AC Charge Energy Today inverter (Address: 56)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=56, 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: "AC Charge Energy Today inverter"
  address: 56
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Energy charged to the battery via AC input today. Units: Wh (Watt-hours). Shows daily AC charging activity.

Troubleshooting: Zero means no AC charging occurred. Check grid connection, battery charge settings, and system demand.
