SolarEdge systems can now be integrated into IAMMETER-Cloud through a Virtual Meter.

By using the Cloud Bridge mode, IAMMETER-Cloud retrieves energy data directly from the SolarEdge platform via the SolarEdge API, without requiring any physical IAMMETER hardware installed on site.

What Is a Virtual Meter?

A Virtual Meter is a logical meter in IAMMETER-Cloud that represents data sourced from third-party platforms rather than from a physical IAMMETER device.

Using a Virtual Meter allows IAMMETER-Cloud to unify data from different energy systems (such as SolarEdge) into the same monitoring, analysis, and reporting framework.

Integration Architecture

The integration uses the Cloud Bridge mode:

• IAMMETER-Cloud connects to the SolarEdge platform

• Data is fetched via the SolarEdge API

• Authentication is performed using an API Key

• Retrieved data is mapped to a Virtual Meter in IAMMETER-Cloud

This approach is ideal for users who already have SolarEdge monitoring but want to take advantage of IAMMETER-Cloud’s advanced energy analysis and visualization features.

Configuration Steps

Step 1: Create a Virtual Meter and Select Cloud Bridge Mode

In IAMMETER-Cloud, create a new Virtual Meter and choose Cloud Bridge as the data source.

Step 2: Configure SolarEdge API Access

• Enter your SolarEdge Site ID

• Provide the SolarEdge API Key

• Complete the binding between SolarEdge and the Virtual Meter

Once configured, IAMMETER-Cloud will periodically pull energy data from SolarEdge automatically.

Benefits of This Integration

• ✅ No additional hardware required

• ✅ Seamless SolarEdge data integration

• ✅ Unified monitoring with other IAMMETER devices

• ✅ Access to IAMMETER-Cloud analytics, dashboards, and reports
