Is it normal to use power from the grid when running off the battery?

I've recently had a Solis hybrid inverter fitted, with a battery, and I am surprised to see that my energy use in the Octopus app shows between 130 and 300W used every half hour of the day while running off the battery/solar. This is average out at around 400Wh use all the time, plus the amount I have used overnight to charge the battery.

This doesn't seem normal, it seems a lot of energy to use.

The electrician who fitted it is coming out on Friday so I wanted to ask what other people are seeing on their bills before he comes.
