Does anyone else see Gen Power over 100W show up at night with AC coupled enabled for micro-inverter input?

Very often it'll show zero after the sun goes down but later on it shows around 130W of input in the darkness of night.

this morning, inverter says and current measurments verify, 112W but the EG4 says 203W and it's always about 115W higher than actual.

@dougl 
Do you have AC Couple only?
No Generator connected?
Are you connected to grid?

@eg4eric yes, I have AC couple enabled with ~1kw of solar on the inverters feeding the AC couple input. No generator. Grid is physically and electrically connected but the 18kPV is running in off-grid mode so it'll only connect if my batteries go below 48 volts.
