Battery discharging to grid

Not sure if there is a problem as such, but saw this happening and wondered why.
My dashboard currently shows my solar array providing power. The battery is also providing power to home. However, the battery also shows that it is discharging to the grid.

Why is power being discharged to the grid rather than drawing less power from the battery?

Post an image of what you are seeing so we can maybe spot something. Otherwise, it's all guesswork.

Image attached. Not a lot going to the grid admittedly, but seems unnecessary either way.

Ignore it. The system has several points where data won't be 100% accurate and as a result the calculations may result in these odd numbers. If you check your smart meter at the same time you want see any export.

Also this is showing a reading in Away mode which is a transient point in time up to 5 minutes ago although your screen shot shows 19 minutes old. You are always much better using local (home) mode which is every 10 seconds.

also, note that you are on "Away" mode and data is not real-time. Also i noted in my instance sometime the values are not in synch, ie they do not add up.. seemed like one value was updated after the other. Also, the small leaks to/from the grid happens when inverter is adjusting to the change in demand.
