I am new to Flukso. It looks like I can only connect 3 current clamps, but skimming the hardware suggest there are more ADC ports. Can someone advise if it is possible to have more than 3 current clamps, and point me to the appropriate information?
As the FLM has a dedicated microcontroller board it either provides 3 analog plus 2 pulse ports or 1 analog plus 4 pulse ports (plus a P1 communication channel), as the shop offer describes - that a microcontroller offers "more ADC ports" does not imply that they are available to the consumer (but you may write your own firmware, of course)... So, if you need more clamps, either use more than one FLM or interface clamps to a pulse port (there is a PoC https://github.com/gebhardm/energyhacks/tree/master/Impulsformer I made some time ago)
Note: I am also "just a user"; if you want to measure mains plus PV then PV should be interfaced via a pulse meter anyway - search the forum by using search term "site:flukso.net ###your serch term###"

I have purchased devices like the following link to achieve the additional ports being used. Although in Australia they would require an electrician to install them.

FEDAYKINAIB, I assume you get a pulse somehow from the monitor?
DAVIDA,
Terminals 20 and 21 are pulse output terminals suitable for use on the 2 pulse ports.
