A quick Google suggests at least some of these are rebranded models
from a company called JFY.  There's a thread on Whirlpool where people
were able to get data out of JFY inverters using Python scripts:

Either way it seems like it'd be a pretty straightforward protocol to
reverse engineer, assuming you've tried to contact the manufacturer and
they were unwilling to provide any info on the communication protocol.

Cheers,
