They may well want that, however this is an option to at least show the overall battery state.

Good JOB!
Show Your code from configuration.yaml and ui-lovelace.yaml or other that You use.
I only have solar data coming in from the PVoutput integration and then I have individual sensors around the house monitoring things - no grid or battery or inverter sensors - can I still use this for a power flow monitor?
Start by giving them a name.
Also, be sure that when you have ‘display zero’ on, it will show even when its on 0w.
you really should invest in a P1-meter which connects to your actual grid
Hi hope someone can help me with my power flow card. When the solar battery is not been discharged or charged everthing is perfect has soon as the battery is used the is a 0 in the house load. The same when the grid is used if the battery is in use.

You need to post YAML correctly formatted.
Your battery production entity doesn’t look like it’s a power sensor, based on its name.
Your grid entity is a mess too. Not sure if that’s an export error.
For some reason the card does that even though you’ve enter a correct sensor using the visual editor, when you view the yaml it creates this strange formatting.
It’s a bug IMO.
This is what mine looks like:
I have the same issue with Home showing 0W

I am wondering about this too
Hello all,
Is there a way to remodel the card to reduce it in height?
I would like this, as i have limited space on my wallpanel.
Is it possible to add 2 solar systems?
in the original power card i can more solar entities, but in this card i looks like it is not possible.
Or does somebody know how to do it?
Make template sensors where you combine values and use that.
Is there still development for this card?
The one thing I’m missing, is water. Would be great if that was visible as well, it’s the only thing that is missing from the original card.
Loving this card it looks fantastic on my dashboard! I’m struggling to get the dots to flow in the correct ways though. When the sun has gone and the load is drawing from the battery, there’s no dot flowing from Battery to Load, but there is a dot flowing from PV to Battery still. And when the sun is shining and charging the battery and supporting Load, PV sends a dot to Load, but not Battery. And Battery is now sending a dot to Load 
I’m very new to HA but figuring stuff out through trial and error and LOTS of browsing through this forum!
I’ve got a SunSynk inverter which is connected to an RPi 5 via RS485 which is running Solar Assistant. Since setting that up I’ve bought a second RPi5 which is running HA and pulling data from SA via MQTT mosquitto.
Would anyone be willing to try and help me figure out how to get this working properly using the sensor data from Solar Assistant? 
I have the same setup, assuming your SA broker is bridged with your HA’s broker.
Please post your card config. I don’t have the same issue as you.
Which flow rate model are you using?
Note that the battery power sensors are inverted.

Thanks Pieter,
Indeed set up MQTT broker on SA and HA with mosquitto and HA is pulling all the sensors and controls from HA, assuming the naming convention for these is given by SA.

I can’t immediately spot anything that stands out as off but then as I said I am very new to all this
You have to set invert_state: false to false under battery:, because this is how SA provides that sensor:
If set to true the direction as well as the values will be inverted, meaning a positive value will be shown as production and a negative value will be shown as consumption.
The above is technically important. If it then still seems off, set use_new_flow_rate_model: true under the main card options.
Aaaah thanks Pieter, that sorted it! The use_new_flow_rate_model: was already set to true, but inverting the battery has sorted the dot flow!
