First day on solar: why the house draws 8 W from the grid
Unconfirmed: A user on a community discussion forum says today is their first day with solar panels and that, according to the app screenshot, the house draws small amounts from the grid (8 W in the cited image) even though solar production covers consumption. They ask why the system does not simply reduce battery charging by those 8 W. They note they are not yet on a variable tariff and will switch to Flux next week. The post text is cut off, so the source does not include an explanation of the behavior.
- User reports 8 W drawn from the grid with enough solar for the house
- Switch to Flux variable tariff planned for next week
🔎 Why it matters: Unconfirmed: the source is a user's question about an app screenshot showing 8 W of grid consumption, with no verified explanation of that behavior.
