I live in New Jersey and my electricity provide is JCP&L which is part of First Energy. We have Solar at our house with a Solar Edge Inverter

I want to be able to monitor the following in Home Assistant that I have running on a Pi 3B+

Total amount of power used by the house
Total amount of power generated by Solar Edge
Total amount of power the Chargerpoint EVSE used

I found an integretion for Solar Edge but it needs an API key that I can't find onlline.
All help is appreciated.

Is my inverter supported by SolarAssistant?

A guide to help you determine if your inverter is supported by SolarAssistant.

I use that. Works great.
