Hello, I have two sets of solar panels. On my house with convertor SolarEdge and on my veranda with convertor Solis. The SolarEdge app is working fine within the Homey app, but the Solis app not. For this reason I bought a kwh meter from Homewizard (Energy). This works fine but I want the measurement of this meter in the Energy tab in the Solar graph and not in the group of Top Consumers. Now it is shown as a negative Top Consumer. How can I change this? Or how can I connect a second convertor Solis? Thanks in advance ---

In the settings of the kwh meter you can define was is connected to kwh meter. Change it from “Default” to “Solar” and you should be fine. ![IMG_2615](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/f/6fe7eae8f83abe18596e1d9afe8b5276787cd662.jpeg) ---

Offtopic, but what’s wrong with the Solis app? Works fine on a Pro 2019. It’s a bit basic, but what more do you need: ![1000046734](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/1/01c7133165dcad6505ee0e79a2a45aed36ab6339.jpeg) I use it with a Solis S6-GR1P2.5K inverter btw. Please share your findings with the Solis app developer here, maybe there’s a bug to fix, or improvements possible: > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Solis Cloud Inverter - Receive realtime data from your Solis Inverter](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-solis-cloud-inverter-receive-realtime-data-from-your-solis-inverter/96591): > > Hi Solis Cloud users I’ve pushed an app for the store.

When Energy tab can’t handle more than one solar inverter (🫢), you could add the solar inverters to a virtual solar device with the \< group \> app: Add a United Group device: ![1000046751](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/9/193c620c7205015a5b174cfff9668a735af36d4f.jpeg) Select your solar inverters: ![1000046738](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/5/e5d3be609c13a2571b767188734a7d763a2e907e.jpeg) Make sure the marked settings are like these: ![1000046743](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/4/c4bfc97a8b60f2c9a3c26673d2487e00e38816d8.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20250421_144305_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/f/dfb4a7786f0f0084a72ccee904a89f5ba543fa5a.jpeg) The device should show the sum of the current generated power, and the sum of the lifetime yield of your inverters: ![1000046749](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/6/56e40e31c9fa9c621eb7a8a3b972914353cc2329.jpeg) Next, this “all-in-one” inverter _should_ pop up in Energy tab. ---

I just did, but did I do something not according these rules? I am not aware of it. ---

I maybe took the easiest way. I am not able to activate the API function via [soliscloud.com](http://soliscloud.com) because I don’t see the menu option. But I just found a way to request this access by creating a ticket so let’s see if that will work. ---

Indeed, you need the API key & API secret. At the time I also created a ticket, and received the data a few days later. ---

API is activated and it works fine. Thanks a lot for your willingness to help me
