Technical Definition

The register Generated This Year at address 3017 is used to monitor generated this year on the Solis S6 Esphome.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • 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 Generated This Year (Address: 3017)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=3017, 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: "Generated This Year"
  address: 3017
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Energy generated by the inverter this year (e.g., in kWh). Annual production total.

Troubleshooting: Zero suggests a new installation, prolonged system outage, or major fault.
