Solar energy in Home Assistant (self.homeassistant)

I recently got solar installed at my place and was wondering if anyone had tips on things like:

Using the Energy dashboard effectively
Template Sensors I should set up for energy tracking
Graphs or visualising production/usage in dashboards
Automations that you've used to help save using energy from the grid

I've been enjoying the power-flow-card-plus and energy-flow-card-plus visualizations. I've also set up a custom Grafana graph (HA -> InfluxDB -> Grafana).

I'm following this description of how to get my data from the HTTP API on my Enphase Envoy unit.

Thanks heaps for that. At the moment I'm relying on my Enlighten app login. Will check them out.
