Solis Modbus Inv Modbus Register 3008: Total energy

Technical Definition

The register Total energy at address 3008 is used to monitor total energy on the Solis Modbus Inv.

• 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 Total energy (Address: 3008)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=3008, 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: "Total energy"
  address: 3008
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total accumulated energy produced by the inverter since installation. Units: kWh.

Troubleshooting: Unlikely to be zero unless new. If zero after prolonged use, check inverter history and data logging.
