Thanks @Yincognito and @balala for your feedback. I understand, that Webparser does not work for this task, that's unfortunate.

Using the WebView plugin as suggested is practically the same as using a "Browser-WebApp", see below a screenshot how this looks. My intention using Rainmeter is making a very slim / space-saving version of this dashboard showing only the information I really need, without menus/statusbars etcpp. Even losing no system information at all I'm sure I can make a Rainmeter gadget consuming less than 20% of the space this supplier app needs... That's what I would like to do. Enphase also has an API access plan but the free plan only allows 1000 hits per month, and with my 2-3 computers requesting a data update every 15mins this is tight. The cheapest pay plan is already 250$/month.

So what about this "Plan B": Can I somehow access and read out the running WebApp html/JavaScript output with Rainmeter? The screenshot is an Edge WebApp (see URL in the initial posting) and the data is cached and accessible, I think? Maybe Rainmeter can even hook directly into the running edge.exe process to scrape the numerical system data shown in the WebApp? I'd like to run the WebApp minimized (so that it does not consume screen space) and RegEx the system status data via Rainmeter so that it can be shown in a small custom-made dashboard meter... Is this technically possible? Thanks for your creative ideas!
