Live values

Everything your Growatt inverter knows, in one place

Read from the RS485 port, refreshed every few seconds, explained in plain words.

Solar

  • PV voltage
  • PV current
  • PV power
  • Each string, where the inverter has two

See at a glance whether the panels give what they should, and spot a shaded or dirty string.

Battery

  • Voltage
  • Charge and discharge current
  • Power
  • Level as the inverter sees it

Know whether the battery is filling or emptying right now, and how fast.

Grid

  • Voltage
  • Frequency
  • Import or export power, where the inverter measures it

Catch a grid cut the minute it happens, even when you are away.

House

  • Load power
  • Load percentage
  • Output voltage and frequency

Find what your home really draws, day and night.

Inverter

  • Operating mode
  • Internal temperature
  • Running state

Grid, solar or battery mode: you know which source powers the house.

Warnings

  • Active warnings
  • Fault codes, explained in plain words

No more looking up a cryptic code in a PDF manual.

The exact list depends on your model and its firmware. Tell us your model when you order: your box is prepared and tested for it.

Worked out for you

Not just numbers: answers

The dashboard turns the raw values into the things you actually want to know.

Self-sufficiency

The share of your consumption covered by the sun and the battery, day by day.

Where the solar went

What the panels produced each day, next to what the house used and what came from the grid.

Battery time left

At the current pace, when the battery will be full, or empty.

Your daily balance

Solar, house, battery and grid in kWh, so a week of data tells you if the system is well sized.

Home Assistant automations

Your appliances run on the sun, by themselves

Growatt Monitor tells Home Assistant how much the panels produce, in real time. Four simple rules, and the washing machine, the water heater and the car use your sun instead of the grid. Watch a day:

    Simulation of a sunny day for a house with 5 kWp of panels, a 10 kWh battery, a car that needs 10 kWh and a water heater. The energy delivered to each appliance is the same in both scenarios; only the timing changes. Your figures depend on your system, your tariff and the weather.

    They come from the inverter’s own counters, so they match the figures on the inverter display.

    Single-phase and three-phase

    The SPH and MIN TL-XH ranges are single-phase; SPH TL3 and MOD TL3-XH are three-phase. Their register maps differ slightly, and Growatt uses an older and a newer version of its protocol depending on the generation. Tell us the exact model from the label when you order: the box is prepared and tested for it.

    Where to see it

    • Screen on the box: PV, battery SOC, grid and load at a glance.
    • Local dashboard at http://moniwatt.local, password protected.
    • Home Assistant through MQTT discovery.
    • JSON API for Node-RED, Grafana or your own code.
    • Cloud dashboard, optional and free, with history and offline alerts.

    What it leaves alone

    Growatt Monitor only reads. It does not change the priority mode, the time slots, the export limit or the battery settings. Your ShineWiFi or ShineLAN stick can stay in place.

    Questions about what it shows

    Which Growatt values does Growatt Monitor read?

    Solar, battery, grid, house load, inverter mode and temperature, and active warnings, as the inverter reports them on its RS485 port. The exact list depends on the model: tell us yours when you order and your box is tested for it.

    How often are the values refreshed?

    Every few seconds on the screen and the local dashboard, about every 2 minutes on the free Cloud, which keeps the history.

    Can Growatt Monitor change a setting by mistake?

    No. It only sends read requests. Nothing it does can change a setting, a mode or a limit of your equipment.

    Do I need the internet to see my values?

    No. The screen, the local dashboard, Home Assistant and the JSON API work on your home Wi-Fi alone. The internet is only needed for the free Cloud, to see your system from anywhere.

    Can I export my data?

    Yes: CSV export from the free Cloud, with up to 3 years of history, and live values at any time through the local JSON API or MQTT.
