[QUOTE="Andyman75, post: 532249, member: 35410"] Hi all. I have been scrutinising my system since install, as I have had a few weird readings going on overnight,, (that's being discussed in a different post) But as such noticed a reasonable discrepancy between my reported energy import usages. I've been preparing for winter and longer nights, more dependence on my battery backup.. I just switched to octopus go and have started doing a nighttime charge cycle on my battery. Since doing so, I've noticed a discrepancy between what my solar app (growatt's shinephone app) and my meter usage shows through octopus' app. As an example for the last 3 days on my shinephone app my reported usage (import from grid) has been : 10/9: 0.6kwh 11/9: 0.8kwh 12/9: 1.3kwh Whereas on my octopus app, it shows usage as: 10/9: 2.66kwh 11/9: 3.19kwh 12/9: 4.25kwh I'm all a bit new to both solar and smart meters, so I'm wondering am I being stupid,, or should those 2 figures not be identical? And assuming it's not me having overlooked something, how do I figure out who to badger on this to get it sorted... I'd like to think octopus are at fault, as otherwise I'll be paying more. Lol Anyone had this behaviour before? I'm a bit confused tbh....Help! [/QUOTE]
