Visualisations
By using ApexCharts, you can create some fancy visualisations

Some extra template sensors are needed that compute the necessary values. The inverter efficiency is ignored, so they are not 100% accurate.
template:

One extra template sensor is needed, of which the reasoning is described in a HA Community Forum post:
# Real house load
#
- name: house_consumption_power
unique_id: house_consumption_power
state_class: measurement
device_class: power
unit_of_measurement: "W"
icon: mdi:solar-power
state: >-
{% set inv_active_power = states('sensor.inverter_active_power')|float(0) %}
{% set pm_active_power = states('sensor.power_meter_active_power')|float(0) %}
{{ (inv_active_power - pm_active_power)|float(0)|round(0) }}
availability: >-
{{ (states('sensor.inverter_active_power')|is_number)
and (states('sensor.power_meter_active_power')|is_number) }}With this extra sensor, you can define the Power Flow Plus Card as follows:
