Device integrations
SunSpec (generic)
Generic SunSpec Modbus integration within our EMS
Our EMS supports a generic SunSpec integration for PV inverters. SunSpec is an open communication standard, maintained by the SunSpec Alliance, that defines a common Modbus register layout for solar inverters and related equipment.
Because the SunSpec model is implemented by many manufacturers, this integration allows our EMS to connect to many SunSpec-compliant PV inverters without a brand-specific adapter.
Supported devices
- Generic SunSpec inverter: any PV inverter that exposes a standard SunSpec Modbus interface
When a dedicated brand integration is available (for example SMA, Huawei, ABB, Sungrow, Growatt, or Solis), use that integration. The generic SunSpec option is intended for inverters that are SunSpec-compliant but do not yet have a dedicated brand integration.
Compatible brands
Many SunSpec-compliant manufacturers can be added directly by selecting the brand in the add-device wizard; they connect through this same generic SunSpec integration, without a brand-specific adapter:
- Afore
- Aiswei
- Altenergy Power
- Canadian Solar
- Danfoss Solar
- Delta Electronics
- Deye
- Eltek
- GoodWe (PV inverters)
- Hoymiles
- Ideal Power
- Kaco
- Outback Power
- Q Cells
- Schneider (PV inverters)
- Sofar
- Solectria
- Yaskawa Solectria
If your inverter is not in this list but exposes a standard SunSpec Modbus interface, use the Generic SunSpec inverter option.
EMS functionality
With the current integration, our EMS enables:
- Monitoring of PV production data
- Control functionality where supported by the inverter (for example active power curtailment)
- Integration of PV production into broader energy management strategies
Additional functionality may be added over time as integration capabilities evolve.
