Live Solar Dashboard: SolisCloud & n8n Webhook Integration

Unlock Real-Time Solar Monitoring with the Live Solar Dashboard: SolisCloud & n8n Webhook Integration

Transform your solar energy management with the Live Solar Dashboard, an innovative solution seamlessly integrating SolisCloud API and n8n webhooks. This workflow empowers you to monitor critical metrics such as inverter status, battery state of charge, and power consumption, providing a comprehensive live HTML dashboard updated in real-time.

What this workflow does

• Receives an HTTP GET request via an n8n webhook endpoint.
• Generates payloads with HMAC-signed headers for SolisCloud API to call inverter lists and daily data.
• Sends POST requests to SolisCloud to gather responses on inverter metrics.
• Extracts data on inverter status, battery SoC, solar power, and calculates time-to-empty/full based on battery capacity.
• Constructs an HTML page featuring individual inverter cards, including a state of charge bar and a 24-hour sparkline, delivered as a webhook response.

Use cases

• For n8n users seeking a centralized, automated solution to track solar energy production and battery health with live updates.
• Automation engineers looking to harness the power of n8n and SolisCloud for robust solar monitoring solutions.
• SaaS operators aiming to integrate real-time solar energy management into their platforms.

Technical details

• Tech stack / nodes used: code, webhook, HTTP request, respond to webhook.
• Integration requirements: SolisCloud API credentials setup, specific inverter IDs, and battery capacity configuration.
• Setup guidance: Configure API keys, update inverter identifiers, and calibrate battery parameters to optimize the system.
