You appear to be using the legacy custom component of the ecowitt integration. The built-in ecowitt integration (available since 2022.9) does not show this warning for the solar radiation sensor.
Thank you for your feedback.
I thought that I already migrated to the native integration.
Is there a method that I can use to check if I'm using the native or the custom integration?

On the integrations page, custom integrations have a little parcel icon in the top right corner:
Your are completely right. It still is a HACS component. I clearly did something wrong during the attempted migration.
Is there a description on how to migrate from hacs to native support?
Thanks for helping out!
