Hello - I'm in the and UK relatively new to solar and looking to install a 3.6kw hybrid inverter on my property and have received advice that some inverters can be controlled via API (rather than just reading their data via API) and others can not. I have heard that GivEnergy can and SolaX can not, for example.
My understanding is that this ability to POST / PUT via API is important if you ever want to use your inverter for any external service like demand shedding / balancing where the company needs to control your inverter to drain your battery into the grid at a certain time, for example.
Am I right in that there are certain manufacturers that have this and others that don't? And if so, which inverters can do this and do people recommend?
