Morning all,
Unable to find an answer on here already, maybe someone could explain before I raise a case.
I'm slowly fine tuning my system to my usage which is ok, but I've noticed that the battery is discharging at a much higher rate then my consumption, eg: discharging at say 170w but consumption is only 112w. Is this normal you think?

[unknown] probably power consumption by the inverter itself.

Domo As DD says, its most likely the Inverter power consumption.

If you use @Rubikcube app - it breaks down the consumption to show inverter draw as well.

[unknown] is the Rubikcube app available on app store?

[unknown] It's listed as 'Monitor for GivEnergy Inverter' on Google Play. Free to download and use as a basic monitor, and provides more info on some things than the GE app (and is quicker and less resource-hungry). Paid version also allows scheduling. Andrew Miller developed it and maintains it. Recommended
