This is a home-assistant card for solar installations. It provides a tesla style graphic to see the current solar yield, solar consumption, home consumption and grid feed in or grid consumption. If you have a battery you can monitor the battery charge, battery state and battery consumption as well. And if you have an electric vehicle the charge and charge status can be monitored. The car charging is part of the house consumption for now.
This card is based on the card from bessarabov animated consumption card, thanks again for that work.
This is my first version and there might be some hidden bugs and some issues so use with care ;). If you find a bug just raise an issue I'll get at it as soon as I can. If you have any code refactoring hints also raise an issue or create a pull request. This is MY VERY FIRST CONTRIBUTION, so please have patience with me. Thanks in advance.
- Add the card js file from the repo under your home assistant config in the www folder (create one if you don't have it yet).
- Add a resource under lovelace (you have to enable advanced Mode in your user profile to see the resource tab(see here for this card).
- restart home assistant.
- add a manual card with the lovelace gui and configure as seen below.
Underneath is the minimum required to make it work. Remember you can create template sensors if you are missing one like solar yield out of solar_consumption and grid_feed_in or if you are missing another one like home_consumption. Some inverters have positive and negative values, here all sensors need to be positive values, so create template sensors like:
battery_consumption:
value_template: '{% set batter_cons = sensor.powerwall_battery_now | int %}
{% if batter_cons > 0 %}
{{ batter_cons | int }}
{% else %}
0
{% endif %}'
device_class: power
unit_of_measurement: WThe sensor can be called whatever you want, they are powermeter sensors in Watt or Kilowatt (choose the same for all, it will create kw from it). Look to the next part to see what is expected. Beware we the sensors are expected to only be positive, so in case you have a negative value sensor you need to probably create a template sensor and divide it.

The battery sensors (for cars too) need to be the percentage numbers (1-100). The left part of the equation can have any name.

type: 'custom:tesla-style-solar-power-card'There two extra variable now: One to force W (Watt) instead of kW, set it to 1 to use it:
show_w_not_kw: 1One to hide the lines not active to use it, please make sure everything is working before you hide the lines:
hide_inactive_lines: 1v0.9 Hacs version number one, with still a few vector flaws and unorganised html/css
