Is there a device that I can wire into my solar panels and in different configurations, to monitor the out put, specifically watts. I have a Growatt inverter and I " assume" that when I pull the Growatt menu up I might see my 8,800 watt array at 205 watts. Again, I'm new to this, I'm hoping that is because my batteries are fully charged and little load from my home. I found devices but they all have 60 or 90 volt max. I'm at 400 volt. Help appreciated
 
If your Growatt is curtailing solar production because batteries are full and there are no loads you will see little difference between solar output and inverter output. To specifically answer your original question, there probably is a device that can measure 400 volts but the output will be very close to what the AC output is in Watts less any inverter inefficiency.
