-The Inverter reports Power (W), but HA needs Energy (Wh).
-You can use a "Riemann sum integral" (called integration) to convert it.
-Put the following into your sensors.yaml
-```
-sensor:
-  - platform: integration
-    source: sensor.inverter_active_power
-    name: Solar Production (Sungather)
-  - platform: integration

-The additional sensors then setup in HA are the following with Wh unit of measurement for the Energy platform.

-Solar Production (Sungather)  
-Return to Grid (Sungather)  
-Grid Consumption (Sungather)

-Restart Home Assistant for the sensors.yaml to be loaded.
-Make sure SunGather is running, wait 5 minutes for initial data to populate.
-Navigate to the Energy platform (Configuration > Energy). Add these sensors to the following areas:
-
-Electricity Grid > Grid Consumption -> Grid Consumption (Sungather)  
-Electricity Grid > Return to Grid -> Return to Grid (Sungather)  
-Solar Panels > Solar Production -> Solar Production (Sungather)
