Hi, I’m pretty new to solar and had the following installed

Fox ESS K series inverter 7kw
FoxESS batteries 11.52kwh
18 x 430w solar panels

I had my installation back in November and had loads of problems with the instal and the company, they still haven't showed me how any of it works so I'm trying to do it myself.
I've watch one of Fox YouTube videos on Micro Inverter which i believe will then show what each solar panel is producing.

Do you need to add a separate micro inverter for this to work ?

I have my panels on 2 separate roofs, how do you add this onto base map ?

Sorry do you have a K series or micro inverters? you only have one not both. If you want per panel data you will need to install an optimiser onto each panel but it's not normally worth it.

I have the K series, not really fussed about each panel data, didn't realise an optimiser was required on each panel for this

No worries, if you don't have optimisers for per panel monitoring you'll only be able to monitor each string of panels. You can see kW, Volts and Amps per string/array.
