>My solar roof had the same issue initially, and electricians really thought it was generating more then the rating of the inverters, until I fixed it (software controlled).

What was the software fix? Was there some config that wasn't set correctly?

yeah exactly, had to go into "installer mode" and configure the CT that's on a secondary powerwall, so it wouldn't count that value as part of the generation (forget the exact cryptically named option). Otherwise it considered energy pushed towards that powerwall as "additional energy in the system", and since the grid ct didn't show it was coming from there, it was assuming that the generation must be coming from solar. Or so it seemed.
