Enable Solar API on newer Fronius inverters
Some newer Fronius inverter models may disable access to the local Solar API by default, which you must manually enable before setting up this plugin.
Login to the local web UI as Customer or Technician user, open the hamburger menu on the left, select Communication, select Solar API, then turn on Activate communication via Solar API, and finally select Save.
