My AC loads are supplied by the grid before Quattro. The critical loads on AC L1 are on the AC out of the Quattro, in addition to PV Inverter. Are my AC consumption values measured (how?) or are they calculated values?

Both.
Power is always a calculate value - I * V
I and V are measured, i.e., the unit measures the current and voltage it's outputting.
The doubt might seem too basic; I was worried about L1 in particular as it exists on both sides of the Quattro. I am assuming Quattro differentiates the L1 normal and L1 critical loads and gives thier sum as the L1 power which I see in the System Overview from VRM, is that correct?
