Can someone tell me what's going on with my Sol-ark production graph?

I just set up my Sol-Ark system and configured with Grid Sell + Limited to Home. In my house I'm using 250 to 300 watts but in the chart, it's reversed. It thinks I'm using 2100 watts. I verified with a clamp meter that at the time the Sol-Ark was pushing 8 to 9 amps to the grid and sipping power on my main service panel.

Could it be the placement of my CT sensors in relation to my solar breaker? I have a bus bar so no way to clamp my CT sensors further up in the chain. My CTs are the red circles around the wires on the left breaker. My solar breaker is to the right of the 100 amp breaker (drawn in red)

Came across this thread. This guy looks like he has a similar problem and almost the exact same service panel as me:

:unsure:

According to the article it looks like I'll need to bundle my solar legs with my grid legs through the CT. Had to buy the 200 amp CTs though because my 100 amp CTs won't close around my existing cables. Hopefully this resolves the issue above
