With a Venus OS/GX and an energymeter on my PV output and one on the mains input I get the below:

Both eneregy meters are measuing correct: my PV is outputting 4083W and I have an excess of eneregy of 2371W going into the net.

This acually means my AC load = 4083 -2371 = 1712 W.

But my dahboard shows me AC load = 0 en Critial load is equal to PV output what is obviously wrong. I assume I did not configure something correctly, anybody can point me to the setting?  
I want to get this resolved before I add a Multiplus and a battery to the mix as debugging would be more complicate.

The bug is the missing core components, a multiplus and a battery

As stated, that tile only works with a victron inverter, without one, what you see is what you get.

Thx for the hint, i was reluctant to connect my multiplus before resolving this but i understand conneting the multiplus and the battery will fix this.
