API Access and Sharing

You must have an account registered on SolisCloud. Only Director (Installer) accounts and Owner accounts will be able to have API access - all other account types will not be able to have access. This is for legal purposes as only the system owner is allowed to give permission to share their data with a third-party platform.

For all customers that are located in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, please follow this process to gain API sharing access:

1. Send an email to usservice@solisinverters.com requesting API access be opened for your account. Provide the email address you used to resgister your SolisCloud account. 
2. Solis opens API access within 24 hours of the request being sent.
3. Once access has been opened, the API credentials can be obtained by following this path on the browser-version of the SolisCloud webpage:
   1. Top right corner of the screen mouse over your name (or the little arrow)
   2. Click "Basic Settings"
   3. Click "API Management" tab on the left side of the page
   4. Follow the steps in the attached Solis API Guide
   5. Solis PM will also send the API document which explains how to use the API credentials to pull data through the Solis API
4. The SolisCloud API Sharing Guide also explains the process in detail with screenshots. Please scroll to the bottom of this article and click the document to download it. 
5. With the API credentials, data can be pulled from SolisCloud through API. You can also control your system through API. The SolisCloud Device Control API document explains how to do this. Please scroll to the bottom of this article and click the document to download it.
6. The API credentials can be shared with others. This is how third-parties are able to use Solis API access to pull data from plants registered to SolisCloud into their own portals.
