Integrate goodwe inverter into IAMMETER-cloud

Incorporate a Goodwe Inverter into a Virtual Meter via Cloud Mode

This document illustrates how to fetch data from the Goodwe portal via cloud connection and integrate it into a virtual meter in IAMMETER. It supports solar generation, grid metering, and battery storage data.

Apply for a Virtual Meter and Bridge Data from the Goodwe Portal

👉 How to apply for a virtual meter in IAMMETER

1. Select Source and Model

   • Data Source: Inverter
   • Model: Goodwe

   

2. Log in to Goodwe Portal Enter the username and password registered on the Goodwe SEMS portal.

   

3. Select the Target Plant Choose the plant from which you want to import data into IAMMETER.

   

4. Map Inverter Data to Virtual Meter Phases

   The virtual meter works as a 3-phase device, where each phase can be mapped as:

   • Phase A: Solar generation
   • Phase B: Grid meter
   • Phase C: Battery storage

   

   If you only wish to import solar generation data, select only Phase A and click Save.

   

5. Completion After saving, the virtual meter is successfully created and connected to the Goodwe portal.

   

Add the Virtual Meter to IAMMETER-Cloud

You can now use this virtual meter in IAMMETER as if it were a physical device. The procedure is the same as adding a regular meter.

You may:

• Add it to an existing place, or
• Create a new place and associate the virtual meter.

We will demonstrate the case of adding it to an existing place.

Use Case: If a customer already has a grid meter (IAMMETER physical device) and a Goodwe solar inverter at the same location, they can now monitor both with one physical meter and one virtual meter—no need for a second IAMMETER device.

1. Add a New Meter

• Navigate to: Meters → Add New Meter
• Fill in:
  • Place: Select the existing place
  • SN: Virtual meter serial number
  • Name: Custom name
  • Type: Three Phase
• Click Save

After saving, the virtual meter appears in the meter list.

2. Set Phase Types

• Navigate to: My Places → Edit

• Assign phase types:
  • Phase A: Inverter (solar generation)
  • Phase B: Grid (if applicable)
  • Phase C: Battery storage (if applicable)

3. View Real-Time Data

• Go to the Overview section
• You will see real-time updates from the virtual meter

Click on the place to view dashboards and charts of solar generation.

Support for Other Inverter Brands

We are expanding support for more inverter brands.

Because the cloud integration requires user credentials (username/password or token) from the inverter's monitoring platform, we prioritize inverters where users are willing to help with testing.

If you’re interested in helping us support a new brand:

• You can temporarily set a generic/weak password for testing.
• After debugging, you are encouraged to reset the password.
