I had a similar question a few weeks ago and got 0 answers. One solution worth investigating is the use of a Victron E112 energy sensor. The Cerbo manual states that it supports the unit.

The other option if you are wanting to measure DC current is to use a SmartShunt as a DC Energy Meter. You can use this to monitor DC power into non Victron inverters, generic DC loads etc or power from alternators, non victron chargers, solar controllers, fuel cells etc. Look up the SmartShunt manual.
