Fractional Solar casued by inverter draw

[n7qnm]

My solar installation uses microinverters, which draw a little bit of power even when the panels are dark. This is getting read as "generation" and so messes up my totals by about a Kwh/day.

Is there some way to avoid or minimize this? Perhaps look at sunrise or sunset times, or ignore "generated" power under .1 Kwh?

You may be able to set the channel as bidirectional in the Emporia app, though they might limit that on channels marked as solar. If you did that I would suspect that it should properly read the consumption at night as negative and that would update properly in Home Assistant, after reloading the integration to get the new state.
