Will an ESS with virtual Battery meter count Blue Solar charger energy?

I have upgraded my small ESS with a MPPT 100/20 making use of an extra 350W panel to charge the battery.

While charger shows that it is providing 40W to battery the meter shows 0W.

I'm using the internal battery meter of the Multiplus because my I don't have access to the BMS.

Does the ESS count the energy from the solar charger for the SOC?

I don't know exactly why, but now it's working.

After re-settings the DVCC, I can see the PV Power being shown in the Battery charge and discharge current. Probably I had "SCS-Share current cense" activated. Now it is off and the ESS is correctly showing the sum of the Multiplus and the MPPT for the battery.
