[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 530807, member: 35153"] Having looked back you answered my reply to Mizunoid which I hadnt realised you were a different person, apologies. Mizunoid had said 'The inverter uses some energy just to stay on don't forget.' and the you came back when I said it was an insignificant amount with 1 to 1.5kWh which is still high for keeping the inverter powered. Your consumption however is probably a mix of inverter power (circa 4W) and the constant dance they do with the grid supply in order to feed more / less into your consumer unit etc. It will also have any startup surges in there before your inverter has had time to adjust to new load conditions.
