Good day everyone! I'm a beginner getting my first system (off grid) up and running.
I'm using a growatt 5000es and a solaredge autotranformer for the 120v generation.
I'm currently charging the system now and noticed that there is about a 10-12% load on the system via the growatt display. I don't have anything running at all, I'm just charging via panels and have the tranformer on but no loads on the main panel.
It's showing anywhere from 475sh to 530sh volt amps on the growatt readout, which is about that 10% load.
If I shut the tranformer off, the load on the invetter goes to zero right away.
Should the tranformers idle consumption be this high or is something wrong?
