How to Connect Solis Inverters with the Aero-2 App
This integration is currently in Beta. It works for most SolisCloud systems, but you may still come across rough edges.
Preconditions:
- You have a SolisCloud account (the account you use in the SolisCloud app or on soliscloud.com).
- Your inverter is visible and online in SolisCloud.
Connecting Your Solis Inverter with Aero-2
- Open solar/inverter setup in Aero-2 and select
Solis. - Aero-2 opens the SolisCloud login page. Sign in and approve access.
- Back in Aero-2, select which of the discovered devices to connect.
Aero-2 asks for both data access and device control permissions, so that battery control is available after connecting.
Supported Devices
For every inverter found in your SolisCloud account, Aero-2 creates:
- an inverter,
- a meter, derived from the inverter’s net grid power and home consumption readings,
- a battery, if the inverter reports one.
Features and Things to Know
Once connected, you can:
- Monitor live PV production, grid power, home consumption and battery state of charge.
- View historical data at 5-minute resolution, collected hourly and when you open the app.
- Use Autopilot to charge and discharge your battery. When a requested charge or discharge period ends, the inverter automatically returns to its normal self-consumption mode.
- Switch devices on excess solar production with Autopilot (Solar Mode).
Home consumption comes from the inverter’s own load reading. If your system has both a grid load and a backup/EPS load, only the grid-side load is currently used.
Troubleshooting
- If SolisCloud returns a “feature restricted” or “forbidden” error, your account or plant is not enabled for this API on the Solis side. Please contact your Solis installer or Solis support.
- Solis rate-limits its API. Occasional gaps after many rapid refreshes are expected and resolve on the next collection run.
Meter type
Main meter: Grid meter. Can be configured as bi-directional or consumption.Production: Measures solar production. Configure as sub meter with typeproduction.Sub meter: Measures any type of device as a sub meter and appears in device consumption.
