Control of export limit and production limits
Hi
I see this component can control the battery settings
Is it possible for it to also control the export limit (set to zero export for when feed in tariffs go negative) and production limits to zero for when pricing goes negative...
I'm with Amber energy and regularly we get negative feed-in/export pricing and occasionally we get negative energy pricing (today had 2 hours of negative pricing (paid to consume) and 30min of that was 0.05/kw)
Yeah would also like this feature. You can control this with parameter F001 https://tweakers.net/i/_Vbw6h07uP3EtmVy-RP_ZXr0jnM=/full-fit-in/4000x4000/filters:no_upscale():fill(white):strip_exif()/f/image/IHKtvheNjManYE9TaabWoDh8.png?f=user_large
Hi, I'm interested to change the export limit. How can I do with parameter F001?
This pull request allows it, works very well https://github.com/binsentsu/home-assistant-solaredge-modbus/pull/42
You just need to overwrite the files from that pull request into config/custom_components/solaredge_modbus Then restart home assistant You will then have a few more entities available and to set export limiting on you need to set both export control mode to Direct export limitation and export control site limit to 0 I.e
service: select.select_option
data:
option: Direct Export Limitation
target:
entity_id: select.solaredge_export_control_mode
service: number.set_value
data:
value: '0'
target:
entity_id: number.solaredge_export_control_site_limit
To set it back you just need to reset the control mode
service: select.select_option
data:
option: Disabled
target:
entity_id: select.solaredge_export_control_mode
The number will reset itself
Hi, I've downloaded a folder named "home-assistant-solaredge-modbus-mpredfearn-add_export_control". Inside on /custom_components/solaredge_modbus, there are the files that a need to copy. (Right?)
My question is, I lose any of configurations of my entities? Like name (changed manually) or disabled entities?
Very very thanks!
Nico
You shouldn't no but backup your files and backup home assistant

Fantastic, it worksss!!!. But... 😆 In my case, the voltage of the grid is very high, I only can reduce using a little amount of energy of the grid. I tried to add negative value to export control (in settapp works) for recive always 100~300w from the grid. But I can not set negative numbers. Any idea?
Super Thanks Nico

Do these entities show up on their own? I still only have 83 entities and none are select. All are sensors
binsentsu just updated the master with this so redownload from hacs and they should be there now

Just upgraded to v1.6.0 and re-added the integration and don't see any new controls or options to limit export in the integration. Am i missing something or did it not make the code for the 1.6.0 release ?

Update worked for me. Couple new select.solaredge….entities
goingbto test today
would you mind popping in a screenshot just to make sure i am not an idiot :) just to make sure i know where i am looking.
EDIT: Ahh found it under entities not under the integration its self ;)
Got it working now :) Please ignore me
Hi all,
V1.6.0
Deleted my integration and added it again, but no extra select entities. My converted supports the throttling of export, so I guess it should be possible to use in HA.
Any other limitations that could explain why I don't have the controls?
Kind regards, Alexandre

Hey Alexandre,
I suspect you are having the same "issue" I had. The new entities are not under the integration its self. you will need to go to developer tools and under the states if you search you should see a new entity called "solaredge (Export control mode)"
I have written a small automation to turn on and off the export controls based on a binary helper that you can toggle on a dashboard if you want. Or if you want to get smart and you have real time feed in tariffs with something like Amber in Australia you could set the export limit to 0 when the value of exported power is negative
Below are the two automations i have written
Turn on export limit and set it to 0 export
alias: Solar - Set Export to 0
description: ''

everytime I set the export limit...it restores it automatically to 15000
Hi,
Have you enabled it on the inverter?

I'm having the same problem. When I set a new value it works for about 30 seconds and then resets back to 50000.
I have confirmed with Amber they are no longer sending commands to SolarEdge inverters until the reset big is fixed.
When I try to disable export limitation with this integration it automatically switches back.
Do I need to change something in the inverter setup before I can use this integration to change modes?
Hmm interesting.. mine has set export limit for a good portion of the day today.. hopefully this isn't a bug that comes my way.. what inverter firmware do you have installed?

I don't think this is a bug, I'm just trying to workout howto do setup, I haven't had this working yet.
I have some funny firmware revisions and with the reintroduction of modbusTCP over wifi I'm wondering if a firmware upgrade maybe worth the risk.

I have checked with SolarEdge why my export controls are constantly resetting and they advised that you cannot change the Export limit configuration while your system is subscribed to grid services.
Some interesting content on SolarEdge Grid Services here: https://www.solaredge.com/aus/solutions/grid-services
I have enrolled my inverters with Amber Electric SmartShift as they offer remote curtailment (zero export) during periods of negative FIT. They have had to suspend this as they were seeing the inverters reboot when changing settings and have stopped issuing remote commands, but it sounds like I might need to un-enroll.
I am now seeking to get my inverters un-enrolled so I can set zero export locally.
I'm not sure if there is a ModBus register that can check for grid services?
@ThirstyDursty you may want to confirm with your setup.
I logged onto the solaredge local set up wifi and turned off “grid services”. It didn’t seem to make any differenceSent from my iPhoneOn 2 Oct 2022, at 10:45 pm, purcell-lab @.***> wrote: I have checked with SolarEdge why my export controls are constantly resetting and they advised that you cannot change the Export limit configuration while your system is subscribed to grid services.

🧐 not sure I understand how to do that. Or is that reflective of menu items in the set-up screens of the inverter. Which I accessed to set up the tcp modbus connection. Sent from my iPhoneOn 18 Sep 2022, at 1:16 pm, tias2001 @.***> wrote: Hi,

I don't understand how to do that set up...How do you change those register items? I can log into the setup using AP mode on the inverter...I get options to turn on and off grid services...or turn on reactive power control etc...none of them seemed to work...
is it possible to get stepwise instructions here?
