I added a CT for the generator and configured it this morning, also ran the generator for a while to give you data, even though we don't need the power. I also connected L3 to the battery voltage busbar, so you will see a register for Battery Voltage. Nice way to monitor the state of charge. I don't have a DC CT yet so I cannot measure the battery current. It would take two to measure the charge from the PV system and the output to the inverter.
