I have an 18Kpv and PowerPro Wallmount (I have solar, but it is currently turned off) I just had installed. In standby mode the 18Kpv shows 410w grid and 410w Consumption Power. This is reasonable comparing to the readings from my power company.
I have two scenarios that make no sense:
1) When I take it out of standby mode (into self consumption) the grid power stays (substantially) the same, but the battery draw and Consumption Power skyrocket to > 9600W each. Since my loads have not changed, I cannot figure out where the extra 9500 watts are going. I am not selling back to the grid, it is just drawing more power and draining my battery.
2) When I click on the Start Quick Charge button, the grid power stays (substantially) the same, while my Consumption Power drops to zero and my battery charges at the maximum rate. Again my loads have not changed, in fact I am typing on a computer powered through the 18Kpv, so I know power (more than 0 watts) is making it to the house. Additionally, the grid is charging my battery at a substantial rate far exceeding the few hundred watts displayed for the grid power.
I am unsure how these readings make any sense and am hopeful someone here can help me sort it out.
Thank you!
