Solis Monitor

Monitoring solution for Solis inverters using Modbus TCP/RTU. Polls register data, stores it in SQLite, and exposes it via a web API, frontend dashboard and Prometheus metrics.

API

After starting, the API Docs are available at /docs.

Health Check

A health check endpoint is available at /health.

Metrics

If enabled, Prometheus metrics are exposed at /metrics.

Configuration

Copy config.yaml and adjust settings. All options can be overridden via environment variables using the SOLIS_ prefix (e.g., SOLIS_MODBUS_HOST=192.168.1.200).

Database Maintenance

The application includes a comprehensive database lifecycle management system that automatically handles migrations, backups, and cleanup on startup.

Schema Migrations

Automatic Version Detection: The application tracks the current database schema version in a schema_version table
Forward-Only Migrations: Each version increment adds new schema changes while preserving existing data
Legacy Database Support: Pre-migration databases are automatically detected and marked as version 1
Migration Safety: Database is backed up before any migration is applied

Backup System

Automatic Backups: All backups use the same simplified format:

Filename format: {database}.{timestamp}.backup
Example: solis.db.20260627_143022.backup
Created at startup if database file exists (before any migration)
Created periodically at the interval specified by backup_interval
Runs in background without affecting application performance

Backup Management:

Automatic cleanup keeps only the most recent max_backups files
Old backups are removed oldest first
Set max_backups: 0 to disable automatic cleanup (keep all backups)
Backup files are stored in a backups subdirectory of the database directory

Backup Verification:

Each backup is verified to have the same size as the source database
Empty backups are rejected and deleted
All backup operations are logged with timestamps and file sizes

Configuration Examples

Daily backups with 7-day retention:

storage:
  enable_backup: true
  max_backups: 7
  backup_interval: 24h

Frequent backups with unlimited retention:

storage:
  enable_backup: true
  max_backups: 0  # Keep all backups
  backup_interval: 6h

Disable backup functionality:

storage:
  enable_backup: false

Disable migrations (not recommended):

storage:
  enable_migrations: false

Manual Backup Management

Backup files can be manually managed:

Copy: Backup files can be copied to other locations for offsite storage
Restore: Copy a backup file over the database file and restart the application
Delete: Old backups can be safely deleted (application will recreate as needed)

Migration Process

Startup: Application checks database schema version
Backup: If database file exists, a backup is created (regardless of migration need)
Migration: If needed, pending migrations are applied in order
Verification: Schema version is updated and verified
Cleanup: Old backups beyond max_backups are removed
Initialization: Storage is initialized with the updated schema

Troubleshooting

Application fails to start with migration error:

Check logs for specific error message
Restore from the latest backup file: cp backups/solis.db.20260627_143022.backup solis.db
Ensure database file has proper permissions

Backup files accumulating:

Increase max_backups to keep more backups
Set max_backups: 0 to keep all backups
Manually delete old backups if needed

Migrations taking too long:

Migration only runs when necessary (schema version mismatch)
Complex migrations may take time; this is normal for large databases
Check logs for migration progress

`enabled`	bool	false	Enable Prometheus metrics endpoint

Registers Settings

Option	Type	Default	Description
`disabled_keys`	[]string	[]	Register keys to disable (exclude from polling, storage, API)

Computed Registers

Note: These registers are computed/virtual (Address = 0) and do not exist in the inverter's Modbus interface. They are calculated from other registers and stored in the database. Values may be inaccurate if source registers are incorrect or if the calculation logic has changed.
