I also posted the below on the Solarcity sub-reddit, but haven't gotten a response. If anyone knows a forum where old Solarcity installers hangout, that might be helpful! :)

Does anyone know the details of how Solarcity monitored their older systems? I'm buying a house with a Solarcity system from early 2014. The Solaredge inverter has an zigbee antenna on it. But, there is also a separate Solarcity/SolarGuard unit that has a current transducer (CT) around the inverter output, WattsOn monitor, and a zigbee transceiver/antenna. There is only a single Solarcity gateway attached to the home's internet router.

Anyone know if the system is monitoring via both the inverter and the SolarGuard unit? My research indicates that Solarcity stopped installing Solarguard units for residential installs by 2015 and switched to directly monitoring inverters. So, it seems like my install is transitional.

I'm interested because I'd like to register the Solaredge inverter myself to get detailed monitoring. But, I don't want to break the Solarcity/Tesla monitoring system.
