Publicerad: Apr 02, 2026

Supported Models

All Growatt inverters with a WiFi stick (ShineWiFi-X, ShineWiFi-S, ShineLAN-X):

  • MIC series: MIC 600-3300TL-X (single-string grid-tie)
  • MIN series: MIN 2500-6000TL-XE (dual-string grid-tie)
  • MOD series: MOD 3000-10KTL3-X (three-phase)
  • SPH series: SPH 3000-10000 (hybrid with battery)

Prerequisites

  • A Growatt inverter with a WiFi stick connected to your WiFi network
  • A Growatt account at server.growatt.com (same as ShinePhone app)
  • Your inverter registered to a plant in your Growatt account

Step 1: Get your Growatt API token

  1. Open server.growatt.com in a web browser
  2. Log in with your Growatt/ShinePhone credentials
  3. Click Setting in the top navigation bar
  4. You should be on the Account Management tab
  5. Scroll down to find API Token
  6. Click Open to generate a token, then accept the terms
  7. Your 32-character API token will be displayed — copy it

Step 2: Add the inverter in Lyvra

  1. Open the Lyvra app and navigate to your location
  2. Tap Add Asset → Solar Panels → Growatt
  3. Paste your API token in the token field
  4. Tap Connect — Lyvra will discover all inverters on your account
  5. Select your inverter(s) and confirm

Available Data

Once connected, Lyvra displays:

  • Current power — Real-time AC output (kW), updated every ~5 minutes
  • Today's energy — Energy produced today (kWh)
  • Total energy — Lifetime energy production (kWh)
  • PV string data — Voltage, current, power per string
  • AC output — Voltage, current, frequency
  • Inverter temperature and status

For hybrid inverters (SPH), battery state of charge and charge/discharge power are also available.

Solar Surplus Charging

When a Growatt inverter is connected, Lyvra uses actual solar production data instead of estimating from meter exports. This makes solar surplus charging decisions significantly more accurate. No additional configuration needed — it works automatically.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid API token: Make sure you copied the full 32-character token. Check that the API token is enabled (not disabled) at server.growatt.com. Try clicking "Reactivate Token" in your account settings
  • No inverters found: Verify your inverter is registered to a plant at server.growatt.com. Check that the WiFi stick is online (green LED). The inverter must have reported data at least once to appear
  • Data not updating: The WiFi stick uploads data every ~5 minutes. At night, the inverter goes offline (this is normal). Check that the WiFi stick is connected to your router
  • Rate limiting: The Growatt Open API allows 1 request per 5 minutes per endpoint. Lyvra polls every 5 minutes which stays within limits
