Help!!!
When my battery is charged (8.2kwh) i see a load power of 600-800 watts even with nothing in the house on (yes, i've turned off all the circuits in the consumer unit). When the battery charge hits around 4% (my reserve) at around 3am then the load power resorts to 0 watts.
Is my battery setup therefore consuming energy? If so, chances are even with a full battery to start the night it will be discharged by morning and therefore of no use to me!!
Please post an image of your energy graph from the portal so we can see in a bit more detail what might be happening. There was a very similar question to this a week or so ago and it turned out to be a clamp installed incorrectly. However, without looking at the flows we can only guess.
Your inverter will pull a small amount of power, I think it is 20 - 50w. It should not be pulling 6 - 800. Does your home smart meter show load as well?
DOLPHIN_GL5_2JX You don't have an EPS supply with load on it do you?
I think I might be seeing a related issue. When charging the battery from solar the power shown coming from solar is notably lower than what the solar inverter is saying. But also the house load is reported lower than it should be by a similar amount. However I do have circuits permanently connected to EPS which could be about the same as the difference in the other numbers.
How are you monitoring your GE dashboard or app, if everything in your house is switched off?
As Rio911 has said, if you have turned off the consumer unit, how can you see what's going on ?
Can you post any pics, seems very strange
RKempley Please post the graph. This defintely sounds like a clamp not doing its job properly. The shape of the graph will help us help you.
I see around 500w extra being used if my battery is fully charging to discharging. I put it down to the inefficiency losses we expect to see but I may be wrong
