I'm not suggesting that the /inverter/ is consuming that power, I'm saying (as I did at the start of this thread) that our IHD shows a /household/ consumption of around £0.50 (inc standing charge) at the beginning of the day. I could not understand why the household should have consumed /any/ grid power at the moment when we have been generating around 25 kWh a day filling the 5.2 kW battery and exporting the rest. From earlier discussions I had concluded that the power draw was because of the inverter continually monitoring the grid supply (and thus necessarilly pulling some power) and also pulling in some power in early morning and late evening as it self tested. I /still/ don't understand why that should amount to aoumd 1-1.5 kWh but was prepared to believe it as the irreducible minimum consumption.I now think my IHD is lying to me so I am taking meter readings to check it.</blockquote>
