MCU-based Solar Inverter Monitoring System

So I was working on a monitoring system for solar inverters , whereby I can measure the inverter output voltage and current, and also measure the Grid input voltage also, from it I can get the power consumed and also the energy used, to measure the parameters using my MCU, I used differential amp to measure the voltages, the video below is my voltage at my ADC pin, when Grid is available and the inverter is running, I used an offset to ensure the microcontroller captures the positive and negative voltage. S o at 260v the scope VMAX will be around 3.1v. currently my inverter output is 220v. The image attached is the schematic for reading the AC voltage

    I havent’ watched this whole video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lEtkysFGGg but in the first 9:00 it shows the massive difference that moving a ground plane closer to your s1 GHz signal can have. Hopefully I can come back to the video, but seems like some good info based on the first bit.

    Thanks for this @jeremycook
