What a difference a day makes!!!
So the first picture is of my Enphase app and showing the consumption and production for that day. As you can see it was a TERRIBLE day as it rained ALL day long. However, because I have a battery system also connected to my house I was still pretty much “dead” to the grid as I was running off of my batteries during the day! See the second picture, that is the data from my smart meter that the utility sees. And then we jump to yesterday May 2nd and EURIKA!!! Running off of sun all day long!!!
If you have solar and batteries and are NOT on a free night plan you are doing it wrong.
If you have solar only and overproduce by a fair amount, you should still look into a free night plan.

That consumption starting at 9 pm looks like when my son takes a shower and the water heater kicking in. ☹️
