We’re getting solar installed very soon, with Enphase micro-inverters. This gets me all kinds of excited. I’m stoked to be getting per-panel metrics, and real keen to shove even more metrics into my Home Assistant.

It's an official integration and works really well. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/enphase_envoy/

The inverters all use their serial number as their name by default, but I renamed mine based on array and location to be more useful:

If your installer installs the consumption CTs (optional but the good installers usually include them for free), you'll also have data on total power consumption for your house. It works really well with Home Assistant's built-in energy dashboard.
