python solis.py error

[treibbhaus]

Hi,

your script was working wonderful before.
I remove my plant and renewed everything. Forgot to have the API to request. Now I got now API credits which has been exchangedin the config fire but I still get an error:

20260617 20:13:04: ERROR: Exception: list index out of range, sleeping a minute

I'm not able to find my fault. (it's only one plant) [api_secrets]

config like this (which worked before):

soliscloud_api_id = 222228638167852222
soliscloud_api_secret = 22222074af8249c0964dd61e6222222

It looks like the script does not get the data with the provided configuration.
You can try to run the script with debug as parameter, so you see more information.

python soliscloud_to_pvoutput.py debug

Hey,

[ZuinigeRijder]

So it looks like it does not give station info back:

    content = get_solis_cloud_data(USER_STATION_LIST, body)
    station_info = json.loads(content)["data"]["page"]["records"][

Is your soliscloud_api_id and soliscloud_api_secret combination correct?

[treibbhaus]

Hi ,

with wrong paramater for soliscloud_api_id & python soliscloud_to_pvoutput.py debug

 ~/solis $ python soliscloud_to_pvoutput.py
20260618 23:24:29: ERROR: https://www.soliscloud.com:13333/v1/api/userStationList -> 403: Forbidden

with wrong parameter for soliscloud_api_secret & python soliscloud_to_pvoutput.py debug (same9

~/solis $ python soliscloud_to_pvoutput.py debug
20260618 23:28:00: ERROR: https://www.soliscloud.com:13333/v1/api/userStationList -> 403: Forbidden

The parameters are OK. I checked that also with another Solisscripted. ONLY "/v1/api/inveterList'" does support me with values.
All others are bad.

Were you ever able to figure this out? I just got a Solis inverter and had the same issue.
The fix was to manually enter my Station ID and Inverter serial number directly in to the script. I can't code, so sure there is a better way with a variable, but this hard coded fix worked for me.

# == get_inverter_list_body ==================================================
def get_inverter_list_body() -> str:
    """get inverter list body"""
    global SOLISCLOUD_INVERTER_SN  # pylint: disable=global-statement
    body = '{"userid":"' + SOLISCLOUD_API_ID + '"}'
    
    station_id = "30xxxx"

    body = '{"stationId":"' + station_id + '"}'
    
    
    inverter_sn = `"10317312640xxxxx"`
    SOLISCLOUD_INVERTER_SN = inverter_sn

    body = '{"sn":"' + inverter_sn + '"}'
    logging.info("body: %s", body)
    return body

[ZuinigeRijder]

Are you sure the station is correctly coupled to your installation?
https://www.soliscloud.com/overview/plantStation

Does your station appear here?

Unfortunately I do not have my solis inverter anymore, because I did sell my house with the solar panels.

[inotome]

Yes, it does show up there and that is where I got the station ID and inverter serial number info to enter in the script.
When I followed the debug above I got the same error message.
Everything works great once that was entered in manually and its no big deal. Was just offering a work around if anyone else has the same problem and Solis changed something on their end.
Sure those variable can be entered in the config and pulled from there, but over my head and sure you are done with this.
Thanks for work on the original script though! Working as expected now.

[ZuinigeRijder]

Yes, that is a good workaround. Thanks for sharing it. Of course you can change that you configure station id and station serial number. But those you have to figure those out then and that is not always obvious for an user. But definitely is an option. And hardcoding in the python scripts is also an option......

[ZuinigeRijder]

So it looks like not a problem with the script, but a problem with SolisCloud. It does not give back inverters with your user id and api secret. I do not have a clue.

[ZuinigeRijder]

I added a release, where you can specify the soliscloud_inverter_id and soliscloud_inverter_sn in the configuration, bypassing the UserStationList call.
See R1.18.0

[treibbhaus]

Hi , yes I directly put in the "station_id" that was what worked for me.
I also tested different api-links.

#my $path = '/v1/api/stationDetail';
#my $path = '/v1/api/inverterDetailList';
my $path = '/v1/api/inverterDetail';
#+my $path = '/v1/api/inveterList';
#my $path = '/v1/api/userStationList';
With this my $path = '/v1/api/inverterDetail';

With this it's working again:
my $path = '/v1/api/inverterDetail';

I don't know it exactly but it could possible that I had to change some variables (upper-/lower case writings)

@ZuinigeRijder: Thanks for the update.

Not sure why the new script doesn't work for me, but I noticed with my manually entered data when I debug it only shows the serial number, no station ID and connects with code 0.

20260904 08:52:00: INFO: body: {"sn":"10317312640xxxxx"}
20260904 08:53:02: DEBUG: {
"success" : true,
"code" : "0",
"msg" : "success",
"data" : {

But when running the new script it includes the station ID and then returns a code 1, which if it goes by the Solis API error B0001 "Has been bound to someone else". If B0001 is the error code 1 that is referred to here.
(timestamps are off from taking snippets from different attempts, but same error. Ignore timestamps)

20260904 09:34:20: INFO: body: {"id":"30xxxx","sn":"10317312640xxxxx"}
20260904 09:08:23: DEBUG: {
"success" : true,
"code" : "1",
"msg" : "Communication error. Please refresh and try again later",
"data" : null

I checked all my info and it's correct. But since my butchered code works fine I will just continue to use that. I have spent hours and hours between last week and today with this and I'm done. Thanks for the effort to update the script, glad it's working for the OP and hopefully anyone else who may have the same issue in the future.

I'm not against trying something new if you update it again, but at this point, no worries.

[ZuinigeRijder]

You must NOT fill in the station ID, but the inverter_id. So make sure to fill in both in the configuration: soliscloud_inverter_id and soliscloud_inverter_sn. When those have been configured, the UserStationList And inverterList API calls are skipped. So you have to find the inverter id (it is shown in the url, when you open your inverter detail page in SolisCloud) and on that page you find also the serial number. The latter you have already.

[inotome]

Operator error, that took care of it. I didn't even notice the difference there.
Thanks for your help!
