That's the way HA Engery dashboard works when you have batteries. If you disable the battery then you will see the full 'Solar Production' values on the Energy Usage graph as a total of Solar Consumption and Export. That also happens if you battery is 100% full and cannot take further charge - produced energy is consumed by usage of the house and export. However, when some of the solar is going into a DC battery, it does not get shown on the Energy Usage tab as solar consumption by the house (because that isn't, it is going to the battery, not your devices in the house). Instead it is shown as Battery Energy Import - this is the 'consumer' at that point and if it also showed it as 'Solar Consumption' you would have it double counted. In your example picture 2, you had 2.3kW of Solar Production at 9am on the bottom graph, and it looks like that was pretty much all consumed by Export to the grid and charging the battery. |

Did you ever find a way to get the Solar production in as a viable figure for the energy dashboard? I have the same issue as you I think: solaredge_i1_ac_energy is wrong when the solar power is used to charge the battery directly
however this is wrong when the battery charges from the grid and I can't for the life of me figure out if there's a way around this with the available sensors. Why is the solar production figure not exported via modbus :( Edit: Solved. See comments |

Hi,
i noticed that possibly due to the way SE hands over data, some values in the native "energy" dashboard of HA are not plausible.
Pictured: fail 1, it stacks the charged energy value and possibly adds the discharged energy value as a negative? I can only see one label that directly says which entity it comes from and i can't find the code for this panel / direct yaml editor.
Pictured: fail 2, at the same time it seems to subtract the battery charge kwh from the production which is bull, possibly also the consumption. It is not showing an entity label that i could read, like M1.export which would be more plausible in this scenario.
I guess i have to write a kwh entity that does the math i need? Help much appreciated.
