Modbus Solax Modbus Register 1025: Prefix PV2 Input Voltage

Technical Definition

The register prefix PV2 Input Voltage at address 1025 is used to monitor prefix pv2 input voltage on the Modbus Solax.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: V
• 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 prefix PV2 Input Voltage (Address: 1025)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=1025, 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: "prefix PV2 Input Voltage"
  address: 1025
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "V"
