Always a possibility that the old metre was faulty but the new one does seem to show the inverter is drawing current even in sunlight when it should power self. It was just very odd. My wife has daily readings since the panels were put in so we can see the changes. We have replaced the inverter so it wasn't that. Wonder if they have a way of metering the electricity we generate then use and are somehow billing us for that. The first smart metre was estimated 10% high and replaced.

It's just a bit "annoying" to see the increase like that. But better than them coming along, finding an issue and trying to claw back an estimate of the under billing.
