TEG/PW/PV odd behavior

[buckets0fun]

Curious if anyone else is experiencing this type of ‘load shift’(?).

What happens:

PW charge as needed and become full. TEG decides to export X of PV to grid and ‘burn’ the rest at the home. This can be seen by the constant of home use prior to full PW and the immediate jump of home use that matches the amount of PV production minus X of grid export.

PV kW
Home kW use
Grid export kW

curious if this is setup incorrectly.

PV has been restarted
PW has been restarted
TEG has been logged into, but nothing seems to have this spelled out as a glaring issue.

what is your peak period set to?

3pm, this isn’t that as it does this in any mode. Self powered/advanced balanced/advanced cost savings.
At 3pm, if the system is set to advanced modes it’ll exhibit his same behavior.

It looks to me like some kind of CT issue. Note also that your home load seems to increase in the morning commensurate to the solar production. It's like one of the solar CT's is being added to the home load some of the time. I think your installers need to take another look at the CT's. The TEG has no way to "burn" off energy, so it's most likely a measurement error, not reflective of what's actually happening.

The morning load is explained away by people waking up, hvac kicking on, coffee, and so on.

I’d agree with you, except that when the system is set to advanced modes it will burn the PW energy at the same rate that it currently does the PV split. Truly odd as seen in this attached photo.

I do suspect a CT issue on one phase of the grid side, as a gen3 wall charger running at a full 48amps will only show ~6kW of draw within the app, while switching over to the car shows 11kW within the app and on screen of the vehicle. When pulling from PV+PW (self powered) it shows the full 11kW.

Update
CT behavior has gone back to being able to see the full 11kW draw from the GEN3 charger.

“Burn” still occurring, no changes/repairs done to the system.

Truly odd
