Prometheus exporter for real-time Solax Inverter data readouts
This exporter is only tested with an X1-Boost-Mini Inverter with a Pocket Wifi dongle. The host should have a direct Wifi connection to the Pocket Wifi network. In practice, this means you'll probably want a dedicated compute module (Raspberry Pi) connected to this network. The default http://5.8.8.8 hardcoded IP address is unfortunately publicly routable (pointing to a host in Russia of all places!).
The exporter contains code which ensures direct connectivity to the Pocket Wifi before attempting to query the real-time API endpoint.
Using Go 1.19 or newer
go install github.com/loafoe/prometheus-solaxrt-exporter@latestprometheus-solaxcloud-exporter -listen 0.0.0.0:8886You can use something like Grafana-agent to ship data to a remote write endpoint. Example:
