Hi, we are on the edge of buying a solar pv system with battery storage, and of course I would like to integrate this system with homey. What are your suggestions with respect to brand/manufacturer of the inverter? I have read quite some posts/topics here already, and my conclusion is that currently no inverter integration is without more or less serious flaws/issues. Is that correct? Am I missing something? What would be your suggestions? If you already have an inverter: Would you reconsider your choice now after it is installed? Regards Philip ---

I have a Sofar inverter and no issues for me. Updates in Homey about every 15 seconds and compatible with Homey Energy tab. ---

Look in the [Best Buy Guide](https://homey.app/en-de/best-buy-guide/inverters-and-solar-panels/). Personal experience is good, but at least you have a nice list that you can check with any offers. ---

Thanks - checked that, but I also try t find about things like ease of maintenance, i. e. Do the vendors change protocols, limit access etc. ---

I’m very content about my SMA Sunny Boy Smart Energy 3.6, a real “swiss army knife” type inverter. With Homey I can control its output-to-grid power 0 - 100% The app uses modbus to communicate. It works through wifi (LAN as well). ![1000045557](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/c/1c55f6742307d68147740147711a0e8e0baa7d10.jpeg) App is actively maintained, recently added functionality: battery and MPP tracker #3 > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] SMA Energy - My home.
