Is there a way to get de data from a ZeverSolar inverter (Zeverlution 1500S) to domoticz , if that is possible then i can send the data to pvoutput.org

all help is welcome

Which data-interface is present & active in your inverter?
From the datasheet I read the following options:
a) RS485 (without any further specification)
b) RS485 (in 2-wire-variant for specific smart-meters?)
c) Ethernet (what is the reaction if you call by http at port 80 to the ip-address of the inverter?)
d) WIFI (same question as for c)

For any of these interface-types a more detailed interface description is required before a 'public / open source' solution can be investigated.

In the manual they mention their own Solarcloud, and the more open Solarlog as control options.

I have a document from zeversolar how to view the api from the inverer, is it useful to post it here??

Is that document publicly accessible by means of a weblink?
;-)That is the easiest way of publication.

Section 2. of that API-document is clear related to getting data from Solarcloud (aka Zevercloud):
you can make a http-GET-call to the remote Solarcloud-server and you will receive response in JSON-format, which you then have to process for your local applications. In practise that is extraction of historic info from the database.

The User Manuals as mentioned on the Demoplant for weblink and for app have info on setting and on access for that database, resulting in 'ready'-pictures being provided.

If you want most actual info on power and energy, then you probably must get hold of the info in the inverter, either by bluetooth, or by local ethernet/LAN (or RS485-interface).

I hope ther is somone to make the programm for raspberry pi so that the data can imported to domotxz en then it can transferd to pvoutput.org,

Chapter 6 of this manual is relevant for that aspect. During installation try to get as much info as possible!

Lan and wifi is possible with the zeverlution 1500S, it communicate with zevercloud and there is an api key in it

I have a ZeverSolar S series which comes with a WiFi connection and a tiny webserver that displays current generation data. I wrote a small python app to extract that data in an utomated fashion.

Just found this thread after my Zeversolar Inverter is installed.

The webpage of the inverter uses a refresh to update the data it displays. It calls home.cgi to retrieve this data.
The content is a small text file which contains the data. On line 12 is the E_Today(KWh).
