02

How the inverter is controlled

The dongle reads the inverter and never writes anything to it.

What GridZeno reads
Solar production, and grid and consumption when there's an energy meter on the inverter.
Battery
None. The inverter is a grid inverter without a battery, so there's nothing to charge or sell from.
Grid export
SolaX' protocol has no export limit on this inverter, so GridZeno can't stop the sale.
Manual means no switching
When the control is on Manual, GridZeno calculates the plan and shows it, but changes nothing on the inverter.
03

What is special about the SolaX X1-Mini and X1-Boost G4

The serial number is in holding 0x300. XM4 and ZA4 are X1-Mini G4, XB4 is X1-Boost G4. The dongle reads the two the same way. The X1-Mini G4 Plus (5K and 6K-G4-P) has no public register map and isn't recognised yet.

What the dongle reads
Input 0x400-0x440 in one read: the meter in 0x409, the sun in 0x410-0x412, the run mode in 0x415 and the energy counters.
Export limit
None in SolaX' official maps. The inverter has a power limit, but it would also cut the house's own use of solar power and isn't used. All writes sit behind the password in 0x600.
Rated power
No table in any document, so it isn't read.

How it differs from its neighbours

  • SolaX X1-Mini G3, X1-Boost G3, X1-Smart G1: The third generation, X1-Mini G3 and X1-Boost G3, is read in another range and can get the rated power from the machine type in 0x34E.
  • SolaX X1-Smart G2: The X1-Smart G2 is read like the X1-Mini G4, but has three MPPTs and is connected in a terminal connector.

From the dongle's firmware and our notes on each inverter, not from the datasheet.
