# SolarEdge Modbus Multi
44

5-
Home Assistant integration `solaredge-modbus-multi` supports SolarEdge inverters with Modbus/TCP local polling. It works with single inverters, multiple inverters, meters, batteries, and many other improvements over other integrations that didn't work well with a multi-device setup.

It is designed to communicate locally using Modbus/TCP where you have a single Leader inverter connected with one or more Follower inverters chained using the RS485 bus. Each inverter can connect to three meters and two batteries.

Simple single inverter setups are fully supported - multiple devices is a feature, not a requirement.

This integration provides Modbus/TCP local polling to one or more SolarEdge inverters for Home Assistant. Each inverter can support three meters and three batteries over Modbus/TCP. It works with single inverters, multiple inverters, meters, and batteries. It has significant improvements over similar integrations, and `solaredge-modbus-multi` is actively maintained.
