# Qcells Hybrid-Inverter (Cloud)

Source: https://docs.evcc.io/en/meters/qcells-hybrid-inverter-cloud

The Qcells hybrid inverter has to be registered in the QcellsCloud.

**Attention**: Values can only be fetched every 150s and then also can be 5 minutes old. Charging by PV will not be optimal because of this! Only use as fallback if no local access is available.
