SolarEdge not showing up in devices

Hi guys,
I'm really new to Domoticz, I first started with a P1 meter which all worked fine from the first try. I'm now struggling with adding our SolarEdge inverter. I use the SolarEdge via Web API. I got the API and Site key from our installer. When using the API key and Site key in an HTTP request I get the informatio just fine.
I added it to devices as
And the log is showing the service has started:
Unfortunantly, also after waiting all day, the device never came alive in the devices list.
Any ideas?

I see a Python error in your log

modbus-tcp only works if it is enabled on your solaredge system ...
This is something only the admin on your solaredge system can do, mostly your electrician ...

I have done it myself. At night when there was no sunshine on my solarpanels.
Followed the steps in this documentation:
https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default ... l-note.pdf
Your SolarEdge Inverter has to be connected with a LAN-cable. It will not work with WiFi
Much succes.

Thank you for the answers. Unfortunately I can't use modbus-tcp as far as I know.
I'm running on a Windows 10 machine atm and I installed and verified the installation of Python. Restarted PC and but I still get the Python error. The about page states: Python version: None.

Ok, I fixed the python issue. Domoticz doesn't seem to recognise python v3.8.9. I now installed v3.7 and now the log states:

I re-added the solaredge under hardware, hopefully it will become available during this day.

I don't think I can run this under Windows 10?

My Domoticz is running on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ I have no knowledge about running Domoticz on Windows 10 and how to use the plugins.
