Good Morning,
We are just setting up with more solar and extra batteries ( problems with batteries calibration but that's another issue). The meter for this has 3 readings. Can someone please clarify what these are and how to get the solar input for the day. It's not obvious to us which is which! Thanks

Do have the givenergy portal page running on a pc/laptop?
Can you explain your setup of more batteries and more solar.
Is it still just a single(?) inverter?
What meter are you referring to? The EM115? This talks (should) to the inverter and shows the data on your portal

SteveCook hi, 14 panels and an additional 2 5.2kw batteries to the one we had. All through single give energy inverter and, yes the EM115. I think we have to subtract one of thee figures from another to get solar generation and one is the nett figure but not sure which is which of the 3.

The EM115 only measures energy flow through the cable it is clipped to. Usually this is the incoming supply to the house, so it measures import and export to the grid. It does not measure what your PV panels generate.
The Givenergy portal page should be doing the maths for you
