growattServer
A package to talk to growatt server
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you own or manage Growatt inverters and need programmatic access to their data. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, uses a permissive license, and carries no known vulnerabilities. The main caveat is that configuration modification functions carry real operational risk—use only if you understand the consequences—and V1 API support is currently limited to MIN and SPH device types.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires valid Growatt account credentials and network access to Growatt servers; V1 API supports MIN and SPH devices specifically.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (requests).
- Active maintenance with a recent release (68 days ago) and ongoing repository activity.

What it is and what it does
Growatt Server is a Python client library for querying Growatt photovoltaic inverter systems. It abstracts the Growatt API into a usable interface, supporting both the legacy password-based authentication method and the newer official V1 token-based API. The library depends only on requests for HTTP communication.
The package is designed for reading PV system data—status, performance metrics, and configuration—from Growatt servers. It also exposes configuration modification functions, though the maintainers emphasize that only settings functions alter system state; all other operations are read-only. The library is actively maintained and includes examples for both API variants, with V1 API recommended for new projects due to better security and relaxed rate limits.
Use it for
- Monitor solar inverter performance and energy production in real-time dashboards or home automation systems.
- Retrieve historical PV data for analysis, reporting, or integration with energy management platforms.
- Automate configuration changes to Growatt inverters programmatically (with caution, as settings can affect system operation).
- Build custom alerting systems that check inverter status and notify on faults or performance anomalies.
- Integrate Growatt data into smart home ecosystems or IoT platforms that aggregate multiple energy sources.
