I am hoping someone can enlighten me as I am struggling to understand.   We have growatt solar panels and battery.  For an example - on 13.2.26

Our Load Consumption - 17.90

Solar Panels - 7.40

Export to Grid - 0.20

From Battery 2.20

on that day OVO usage for the day was 17,49kwh

 

Is this correct?

The individual measures don’t necessarily add together as each is an estimation (apart from any reading direct from your meter).

You don’t list any charge going into your battery and so in a general sense, perhaps that’s where you can initially look.

As long as your monitor for your solar and battery are fitted correctly, the total should work out. One other thing to check is if your energy usage is from a reading or if an estimate is being used
