SunEnergyXT SunEnergyXT 500 / 500 PRO

← PV, Battery, Grid, Meter

The battery's local mode must be enabled in the manufacturer's app. Furthermore, the device's IP address must be set to a fixed, permanent IP address in the router. An external meter (e.g., Shelly) measuring the grid connection point must be connected to the battery via the manufacturer's app. It is required for the grid usage, and also for the battery usage, because the normal battery mode enables the device's zero feed-in regulation, which reads this meter.

Supported features

Battery control: External control of home battery charging and discharging via evcc.

Parameters

Name	Description	Level
`model`	Model `standard` for the SunEnergyXT 500, `pro` for the SunEnergyXT 500 PRO. Determines the maximum AC and discharge power (800 W resp. 2400 W).	optional
`host`	IP address or hostname Example: `192.0.2.2`	optional
`capacity` [kWh]	Battery capacity Total storage capacity: head unit 5 kWh, each extension pack adds 5 kWh. So 5 (head unit only), 10 (+1 extension) or 15 (+2 extensions). The number of detected battery packs is reported in the `ON` field of `/read`. Default: `5` Example: `50`	optional
`minsoc` [%]	Minimum charge Lower limit when discharging the battery in normal operation Example: `25`	optional
`maxsoc` [%]	Maximum charge Upper limit when charging the battery from the grid Example: `95`	optional
`maxacpower` [W]	Maximum AC power of the hybrid inverter Default: `0` Example: `5000`	advanced
`maxchargepower` [W]	Maximum charge power For forced charging of the battery. Default: `2400`	advanced
`maxdischargepower` [W]	Maximum discharge power Maximum discharge power of the storage.	advanced
`cache`	Cache Time interval for data refresh Default: `2s` Example: `5m`	advanced
`timeout`	Timeout Default: `10s` Example: `10s`	advanced
