Improve Sensor Naming #28

Description

@vanceb

I have a single 5kW inverter with a single string of optimised arrays with 4 different headings. I have managed to add the multiple arrays, using different names for each.

The problems with the sensor names produced by the integration are as follows:

  1. The sensor names do not reference the service name - so a service with the name "garden_s" potentially has a sensor called "sensor.energy_production_today_5" - Suggested improvement would be "sensor.energy_production_today_garden_s", or "sensor.garden_s_energy_production_today"
  2. Even using the numbering method that the integration currently uses, the numbering is not consistent. For the same service there may be a sensor called "sensor.energy_production_today_6" and another called "sensor.energy_production_d7_2". Suggested improvement would be that the final digit is the same for all sensors that relate to the same service (or array in my case)
