First time asking a question but have been reading the forum Q&A’s for a little while. Some smart people on here!
I have smart meter (Secure Liberty 100) and wanted to know if there is a way of finding out exact usage in real time? I had a Solar panel and battery install a few weeks back and the Solis app tells me I'm only using Solar and Battery but I’m convinced the “Grid” meter is still drawing power.
Thanks

Do you have an IHD (in home display)
If so that will give you an indication of any grid power being drawn. If not, you can monitor the readings on the meter over a period to check on the same.
Your smart meter does track usage and has a history function to report on power usage by day, week, month etc. This guide might help
The solar set up is not as accurate as your meter and so might indeed not be completely correct. For example, there is often a short delay when power is switched on or off meaning that power generated or required has to be supplied/delivered from/to the grid.
There are a few on here with the same system who may be able to help further.
Here’s another thread on Solis
