# Growatt

> Growatt New Energy is a global manufacturer of solar PV inverters, energy storage systems, and smart energy management products. It operates the ShineServer / ShinePhone cloud monitoring platform and publishes a token-authenticated Open API (V1) for reading plant and device telemetry, retrieving historical energy data, and reading or writing inverter parameters for MIN (TLX) string inverters and SPH (MIX) hybrid inverters.
