​
Installation

Get started with the Growatt API Rust SDK by adding it to your Rust project.

​
Prerequisites

  • Rust 2021 edition or later
  • An async runtime (tokio)
  • A Growatt account with valid credentials

​
Using Cargo

cargo add growatt
The SDK requires an async runtime. We recommend tokio with the full feature set for the best experience.

​
Core Dependencies

The Growatt SDK automatically includes these dependencies:
  • reqwest - HTTP client with JSON and cookie support
  • tokio - Async runtime
  • serde - Serialization framework
  • serde_json - JSON parsing
  • chrono - Date and time handling
  • thiserror - Error handling

​
Optional Dependencies

​
Environment Variable Configuration

For environment-based configuration, add: 
[dependencies]
growatt = "0.1.0"
dotenv = "0.15.0"
This allows you to use .env files for credentials:
.env
GROWATT_USERNAME=your_username
GROWATT_PASSWORD=your_password
GROWATT_SESSION_DURATION=30

​
Verify Installation

Create a simple test file to verify the installation:
src/main.rs
use growatt::Growatt;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let client = Growatt::new();
    println!("Growatt client created successfully!");
}
Run the test: 
cargo run
You should see: 
Growatt client created successfully!

​
