How to Get your SolarEdge API Details: your Site ID and API Key

So you’ve been asked to get your SolarEdge API Details: your Site ID and API Key.

To do so you have three options, you can:

Option 1: Get them yourself by logging in to your SolarEdge monitoring account.

Option 2: Ask your installer through email.

Option 3: Get them from SolarEdge chat support.

Option 1: Get them yourself

Step 1

Log in to your SolarEdge monitoring account.

Step 2

If your account permissions are set to “Admin” the menu on the top will include an Admin link. Click to go to the Admin area.

Problem: I don’t see the “Admin” menu item! If this is the case, move on to Option 2

Solution: You can either:

1. (preferred) Request “Admin access” to your account by emailing your installer. (see below for sample note)

2. Ask your installer to retrieve and send you your API Key. You can send them a link to this page in case they don’t know how to.

Step 3

Once you’re in the Admin area, click Site Access, then Access Control. Like the screenshot below.

Step 4

• Scroll down to the “API Access” area.

• Check the box “I have read, understood…”

• *** Click Save ***

• After clicking save, click the “Ok” box that pops up.

• To copy the entire API Key, double-click on the long key code. Copy and paste it.

• Copy the Site ID

Step 5

You’ve done it! You can paste the API Key or Site ID where they need to go. Note: if you ever click “New key” it may break an existing API connection that is working. If that’s the case, you may need to re-send the new API Key.
