Why is the entity not available to be selected in the energy tab?

Does anyone know why this entity is not available to be chosen in energy?

It meets all the requirements as per this documentation:

Frequently Asked Questions about home energy management

If you read the documentation it does not meet the criteria, Power vs Energy. You are using a power sensor. You need to create an energy sensor by integrating the power sensor.

Integral

but it is an integral entity (AC Midea Acumulador)

Go to Developer Tools → Statistics and see if there are any issues to fix.

Have you confirmed that your power sensor is reporting data? I thought for energy that Reimann Left was the preferred method? I define my energy sensors in ‘sensors.yaml’ per this code;

  - platform: integration
    source: sensor.pv1_power
    unique_id: pv1_energy_in
    name: pv1_energy_in
    unit_prefix: k
    unit_time: h
    method: left
    round: 1

Hi,
I also have an issue not showing up my solar production.
Have defined a sensor according your config:

And no issues reported in statistics:

But still it is not showing up on the energy-board to add.
What could be wrong here?

I guess the only thing missing here is the device_class.

The power sensor that you are feeing the integrator has the incorrect unit Watt leading your energy sensor to have the incorrect unit kWatth.

Change the power sensor to use W. Restart. Then once your energy starts accumulating fix the units in Developer Tools → Statistics.

Yes!
That was the trick. Now available in the energy-board. Thanks.
