Sunpower Stats

Reading Sunpower stats and putting them into Influx/Grafana

Config and such

Followed some blog posts. Gruby's post below has an HAProxy config that you can run on an RPi plugged in to the management port to proxy requests to the RPi (on your network) to the PVS system.

Getting data from the management port

Making a request to the device at http://<hostname>/cgi-bin/dl_cgi?Command=DeviceList will return a JSON with the devices listed.

import requests

resp = requests.get(
    url="http://172.22.22.33/cgi-bin/dl_cgi",
    params={"Command": "DeviceList"},
)
devices = {}
for dev in resp.json()["devices"]:
    devices.setdefault(dev["DEVICE_TYPE"], []).append(dev)

Running

I ran it locally with the dumbloop.ps1 PS script for a while, but cron on a computer that doesn't sleep on it's own is far more appropriate.

python -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

# cron every minute
(\
  crontab -l 2>/dev/null;\
  echo "*/1 * * * * cd $(pwd) && .venv/bin/python solarstats.py record-stats > /tmp/stats.out 2>/tmp/stats.err" \
) | crontab -

Reference

Stuff used to develop.

Devices

There are three DEVICE_TYPE's:

>>> list(devices.keys())
['PVS', 'Power Meter', 'Inverter']

In my case, there's 1 PVS (Photovoltaic System?), 2 Power Meters (one for generation, one for consumption?), and each panel has an inverter.

Power Meter

One has the subtype GROSS_PRODUCTION_SITE, while the other is NET_CONSUMPTION_LOADSIDE.
