Instructions to Generate a Single Site API Key

SolarEdge inverters report data to SolarEdge’s monitoring platform. SolarEdge’s monitoring platform supports a formal, well-defined API that Rewatt uses to collect site data.

Site-specific API key: can only be used to access data for the site associated with the API key. A site specific API key is useful if the user wants to give Rewatt power access to one site or a small subset of sites.
