I have MultiPlus (shore) and MPPT (solar) chargers shown in Cerbo UI. The third charge source is alternator controlled with Nordkyn VRC-200. This charge source is show as negative Watt shown in DC load.
Can I install additional energy meter or shunt for alternator in order to account this as energy source? Will Cerbo show this as third energy source?
More about this sailboat installation is here.

Yes you can fit a SmartShunt, but this has to go into the negative lead and most alternators use the engine for negative. On a boat the ability to have a negative shunt depends on how the cabling between the engine, hull ground especially on a metal hulled boat and battery negative is set up. If you have a single connection and no routes for secondary flows you can manage this.
