Question to entities meaning and values #349

What is the difference between these two entities:

Solis AC Output Total Power
Solis Total Consumption power

Solis AC Output Total Power is mostly in range of 10W~30W bigger.

I also want to see how much power is given to grid.

Solis Grid Phase1 Power
Solis Grid Phase2 Power
Solis Grid Phase3 Power

entities returns always 0W. Is this bug?

Solis AC Output Total Power is your total PV production Solis Total Consumption power is your house's total consumption (pv production + grid import + battery discharging - grid export - battery charging)

Hi @grambas

Adding to @TheGroundZero's answer:

I also want to see how much power is given to grid.

Solis Grid Phase1 Power

Solis Grid Phase2 Power

Solis Grid Phase3 Power

entities returns always 0W. Is this bug? No it's not a bug, it means your inverter does not support this. Only hybrid inverters with a battery support these fields and I'm not even sure all hybrid inverters do.
