Measuring current created PV in a ESS system with MPPTs only

One of my Victron systems consists of:

3 Multiplus 48/5000/70 3ph

8 pieces of LiFePO4 Battery 12,8V/200Ah - Smart

Victron BMS, Color Control

2 pieces of BlueSolar MPPT 150/70 CAN-Bus

1 piece of BlueSolar MPPT 150/85 CAN-Bus


For "smart home" applications I need to get information about the current created PV power by the three pieces of MPPT.

How can I reach this?

Thanks a lot for support.

I don't know which "Smart Home" system you are using, but there are a few ways of getting information like you want out of the Venus CCGX.
You can use ModbusTCP or MQTT. The CCGX works as a MQTT broker, most good "Smart Home" systems understand MQTT.
Node-RED will also be an option in the future.
