Sample config which pulls together the solar negatives fix, and a few extra bits that make FoxESS work way better for Home Assistant including real-time & daily solar tracking.

Simply paste the following below your FoxESS configuration within the main Home Assistant config file

# Setup Better Solar Tracking Sensors that resolve negative solar tracking  

  - platform: integration
    source: sensor.foxess_pv1_power
    name: pv1_sum
    unit_time: h
    round: 2
  - platform: integration
    source: sensor.foxess_pv2_power
    name: pv2_sum
    unit_time: h
    round: 2
    
# Setup Daily and real-time solar trackers that resolve the negative solar tracking
