I just compared my entity definitions with yours, and other than then names their definitions are exactly the same.generation_entity defined in my card.

I have been watching it today. The weather was nice, so it was easy to watch!
At full power of the solar panels the orange balls go to the house consumption and to the export grid. So that goes well.
As soon as the solar panels start delivering less and they have to be imported from the grid, things go wrong and the value of the solar panels drops.
the picture below is when there is export to grid and home from the solar panels. Then it does go well.
One thing I found very helpful in setting up the cards was to use the Template tab in Developer Tools to see what the various template values were doing during the day, to assist with debugging.
The frontend has a template editor tool to help develop and debug templates. Navigate to Developer Tools > Template , create your template in the Template editor and check the results on the right.

Hi @reptilex … thank you so much for creating this card, it is extremely useful. I’ve managed to implement the card … see picture below, and added a few extra_entity fields which I’d like to improve. Specifically, the total generation & consumption entities I’d like to convert to kWh (from Wh). Here is the sensor specification that I guessed at, but which doesn’t work.
tesla_card_generation_kWh:
friendly_name: "Total Generation Today"
value_template: "{{ (sensor.envoy_122108000251_today_s_energy_production / 1000 ) | round(1) }}"
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
Here is the error I receive when checking my configuration.yaml
That string must be all lower-case.

Thanks @exxamalte that helps, and likely shows my ignorance. I’ve edited the code, and configuration accepts it, and included the sensor in the card. After a restart the value of the sensor is ‘unavailable’ - see pics below. Note that the envoy sensor definitely is available and giving values if put into the card (or via developer tools : states). The new sensor likewise shows as unavailable in developer tools.
tesla_card_generation_kwh:
friendly_name: "Total Generation Today"
value_template: "{{ (sensor.envoy_122108000251_today_s_energy_production / 1000 ) | round(1) }}"
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

I solved my problem, for the newbies that might benefit I’ve attached the working sensor code below. It includes using the states function and converting the sensor output to a float.
tesla_card_generation_kwh:
friendly_name: "Total Generation Today"
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.envoy_122108000251_today_s_energy_production') | float / 1000 ) | round(0) }}"
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

Where is my bug, because I have only a very small flow picture?

For someone with a Fronius inverter and the custom integration by Safepay, here are the template sensors and the config for the card that I’m using!
solar_to_grid:
unit_of_measurement: "W"
value_template: >
{% if float(states('sensor.fronius_grid_usage')) < 0 %}
{{ float(states('sensor.fronius_grid_usage')) | abs }}
{% else %}
0
{% endif %}
solar_to_house:
unit_of_measurement: "W"
value_template: >
{% if float(states('sensor.fronius_ac_power')) > (float(states('sensor.fronius_house_load')) * -1) %}
{{ float(states('sensor.fronius_house_load')) | abs }}
{% else %}
{{ float(states('sensor.fronius_ac_power')) }}
{% endif %}
grid_to_house:
unit_of_measurement: "W"
value_template: >
{% if states('sensor.fronius_grid_usage') | int > 0 %}
{{ states('sensor.fronius_grid_usage') }}
{% else %}
0
{% endif %}
house_load_positive:
unit_of_measurement: "W"
value_template: >
{{float(states('sensor.fronius_house_load')) | abs }}
And card configuration:
- type: "custom:tesla-style-solar-power-card"
name: Produccion
grid_consumption_entity: sensor.grid_to_house
house_consumption_entity: sensor.house_load_positive
grid_to_house_entity: sensor.grid_to_house
generation_to_grid_entity: sensor.solar_to_grid
generation_to_house_entity: sensor.solar_to_house
grid_entity: sensor.fronius_grid_usage
house_entity: sensor.fronius_house_load
generation_entity: sensor.fronius_ac_power

Legend! Exactly what I need. I use a different device to monitor grid power but I should be able to tweak this to suit. Thank you so much.
EDIT: not sure why, but I’m getting the red card error. I tried re-installing the card, refreshed browser.

Looks like an indentation issue (or hyphen issue?) according to some of the other posts with that error. Do you have more code before your card code you can post?
There shouldn’t be any indentation issues, it’s copied directly from your example with only a few entities modified.
It’s a card by itself so nothing before or after.

(I assume you added the lovelace resources.)
Is it just a dashboard view with:
views:
- title:
cards:
- type:
Well installing the card through HACS should do that for me…
… and I can confirm that the resource is there:
I’m not running Lovelace in YAML mode so the above code is literally all I need to add any card to an existing Lovelace view.
I did have another look and realised my stupid mistake however. Since I’m not using YAML mode I needed to remove the preceding dash at the start.
In this case you don’t need any indentation nor hyphen at the start.

As per Yassith and nuki47’s posts above, my card is appearing scaled-down to dots:
The full-size card appears very briefly, then shrinks to the above.
It seems to work after a reboot of the Core, but later goes to a small diagram again.
Any ideas on what might be causing this?
Really love this card both functional and design, qq - is there a way of increasing the font size of the values presented?
Yes I would like this also

Hi fhopley,
