I've seen several people posting about integrating systems with HA by using MQTT within Solar Assistant to make the connection. You should take a look at this post: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/solar-assistant-with-home-assistant-awesomeness.66972/post-843043
EG4 should be more supportive of Home Assistant because its in line with how DIY friendly the company is in general. I don't think it would require them to do much more than is already done to be compatible with Solar Assistant. Its a shame that the entirety of Solar Assistant isn't truly open source.
Maybe it isn't an EG4 specific issue but a luxpower issue. I dont know. I think i have seen some EG4 reps commenting here and they could probably clarify. really like what I see with their equipment
That repo will fully support the connecting the EG4 18kPV. There is even at least one person on their commenting they have it working. It just isn't as simple as a plug and play solution. The EG4 18kPV is a manufactured by LuxPower so it is a LuxPower device.

I have it all connected and it works great. I disconnected the eg4 public cloud IP so I don't bombard their servers, but there's multiple integrations out there, look for the luxpower stuff and you'll find a few, including a guy named Guy who paid a developer to build a pretty robust plugin
