Hi I'm currently doing a small project of mine in my province wherein I want to gather / pull data from the endpoint (inverter) going to cellular gateway via RS 485 modbus protocol. Any suggestions?
It is not a standard protocol. Post what inverter you have, otherwise you won’t get any traction. You may want to edit title or create new thread with the equipment in question.
I don't have a specific brand of inverter in mind, but my requirement for the inverter is that it must have a communication protocol (specifically rs 485 modbus)Rail-Mount Serial Server, RS485 to WIFI/Ethernet Module, Modbus MQTT Gateway | RS485 TO WIFI/ETH

But as zanydroid already said , you'll need the proper protocol and "translator" for your specific inverter
Every inverter has its own implementation of what protocol.. rs485 , like serial is just the medium on which that protocol travrlsI don't have a specific brand of inverter in mind, but my requirement for the inverter is that it must have a communication protocol (specifically rs 485 modbus)
I have a SolaX inverter (with RS 485) and a planet 4g cellular gateway. Is there a way to pull data with this setup?Every inverter has its own implementation of what protocol.. rs485 , like serial is just the medium on which that protocol travrls
Is it possible to extract data from an archmeter that's connected to the inverter? (Via rs 485)Not familiar with solax

1. Do I need something in between the inverter and the gateway?Every inverter has its own implementation of what protocol.. rs485 , like serial is just the medium on which that protocol travrls
thanks - that makes sense.Seeing this makes me really embarrassed, sorry, I'm new to this kind of thing. I just wanted to know if there are things I'm missing to make the off grid data gathering work.
To clarify, the SolaX I'm referring is from my parent's house (a hybrid type), which I'll be trying to experiment. The one I'll be using in my province will be another inverter but I don't have a specific brand. I'm from the Philippines (right now I'm making the hot weather as an opportunity to make this work).
The model I'm currently testing is a SolaX X1 Boost G3. I'm trying to communicate it using the rs485.Until you are more specific on the exact inverters then only unspecific answers can be given. Its like asking can you use paper to communicate between people, well yes you can, but in what language or is it even in hieroglyphs.

I use this

to extract data from my Solax as MQTT and then covert it to Modbus to feed a Solar-log data logger.
