SolaX Power
solax
The SolaX Power integration connects Home Assistant to Solax solar power inverters. Solax inverters may be connected to a home Wi-Fi network and expose a REST API. This integration retrieves information such as photovoltaic power production, battery levels and power, and how much power is being fed back into the grid.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.

What people report
SolaX inverters are polled locally via the dongle. Newer dongle firmware requiring a username and password breaks the integration.

| SolaX X1 Microinverter 2 in 1 | Not working Local | Firmware 008.03 asks for credentials; API data not retrievableSaved copyThis issue hit me this week, Solax upgraded my dongle and now the integration with Home Assistant is broken. I have the Solax X1-Mini-G4 inverter and WiFi+LAN dongle. The Solax X1-Mini-G4 is on the following firmware version: `ARM 035-000 Main DSP 028 Module version 1.007.02` The Wifi+LAN dongle is on firmware version 1.007.02 I've spoken to Solax support however they said either the Home Assistant integration developers need to update their code or I can use the local API to pull out the data myself. Appreciate your help. Thank you and kind regards Andrew Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #145182 · 2025-05 | |
