Compatibility status by equipment type

Inverter

Not yet verified

Growatt

Initial target inverter ecosystem

Direct support for Growatt inverters is being built and tested. Specific models have not been confirmed yet; tell us your model and we will check it.

  • RS485 / Modbus

BMS

Not yet verified

Seplos BMS

Initial target BMS for Virtual BMS

Reading Seplos battery data is being built. Field results have not been validated, so no Seplos combination is verified.

  • RS485

BMS

Planned

JK BMS

Initial target BMS for Virtual BMS

JK BMS is part of the intended Virtual BMS ecosystem. Software support has not started yet.

  • To be confirmed

Data source

Configuration-dependent

Existing monitoring bridge

For systems that already publish inverter data over MQTT

The current software can use inverter data that an existing bridge already publishes over MQTT. Whether it works depends on your bridge and how it names its data.

  • MQTT

Hardware

Not yet verified

Raspberry Pi

The computer inside the SolarAutopilot box

SolarAutopilot runs on 64-bit ARM. The exact Raspberry Pi model, memory, storage and adapters for the box and the software image have not been finalised.

  • RS485 adapter (TBC)
  • Ethernet / Wi-Fi
No combination is verified yet. Compatibility depends on the specific inverter, BMS, hardware, firmware and configuration. Specific models have not been confirmed. Please check with us before buying equipment for SolarAutopilot or Virtual BMS.
