Here's a screenshot of the daily production for Nov 14, 2019 from SolarEdge interface and a screenshot of the same date from the Modbus plug-in and Jon00 Database Charting. The numbers match and it's just a matter of how much resolution you're looking for. "Simply" run an RJ45 from the inverter to your router and enable the port on the inverter. The rest is done in the plug-in and with events.
I don't have any scripts for this, I enable Modbus plugin at sunrise and disable at sunset via an event. I have never gone as far as to store the numbers in a database to store for future comparisons or calculations.
For me it was more a mental exercise than a need since the SolarEdge mobile app and desktop website show me all I want to know. I will say that when my utility changes its rate structure to time of day demand then I would be getting fancier with this stuff (when to run the dryer, warm the hot tub, etc)
