Technical Definition

The register PV1 Voltage at address 676 is used to monitor pv1 voltage on the sunsynk.

  • 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 PV1 Voltage (Address: 676)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=676, 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: "PV1 Voltage"
  address: 676
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Voltage of Photovoltaic string 1. Units: Volts (V). Indicates the electrical potential difference generated by the solar panels.

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates no panel output, faulty wiring, severe shading, or an open circuit in the PV string. Check connections and panel integrity.
