PV-Dashboard-Box
The local, secure and convenient alternative to standard PV manufacturer apps – with real-time data.
PV-Dashboard-Box
The PV-Dashboard-Box reads your inverter directly via Modbus – completely local, without cloud services and without an account. This gives you real-time insights into your PV production, consumption, battery status and grid feed-in at any time.
The PV-Dashboard-Box also allows you to charge your battery from the grid – fully automated if desired, based on your dynamic electricity tariff. This way, you take full advantage of low exchange prices and reduce your energy costs.
The clear interface provides live data, daily statistics and long-term analytics at a glance – making your energy system smarter and more efficient.
Supported Inverters – Hailei, Ecactus and Renac
The PV-Dashboard-Box currently supports inverters from Hailei, Ecactus and Renac. Additionally, many other models can be integrated as long as they offer access via Modbus RS-485.
Smart Grid Charging – Charge Your Battery When Power Is Cheapest
With the PV-Dashboard-Box, you can charge your battery not only with excess PV power but also strategically from the grid. Thanks to the integration of dynamic electricity tariffs, charging happens automatically whenever prices are particularly low. This helps you save money, increase self-consumption and use your storage system even more efficiently.
Extension: §14a EnWG Grid-Compliant Power Control
The PV-Dashboard-Box can be expanded to meet all legal requirements according to §14a EnWG and correctly process the control signals provided by your grid operator. As soon as your grid operator requires this functionality, you are legally obliged to implement it. This extension ensures that your system operates fully compliant and compatible with the regulations.
Extension: Wallbox Integration for PV Surplus Charging
This extension enables seamless integration of a wallbox, allowing convenient PV surplus charging based on real-time data. The wallbox is intelligently controlled and charges your electric vehicle primarily when your PV system produces more energy than your household consumes.
The extension is compatible with any wallbox that supports OCPP 1.6, ensuring maximum flexibility and highly efficient use of your self-generated solar power.
