Thank you @chandykris, that is what I expected to see.  If it was a few hundred W per day I wouldn't have thought anything was wrong but it sounds like it should be tens of Watts

@johnnyb Here is my results for Wednesday 14th. Jan., I only draw from the grid during the 8 Cosy cheapest rate hours if possible. Solar input in January may amount to ~120 kWh and this will be consumed during those sunny intervals as the heat pump exceeds supply right now. Regards, Toodles.

Sorry, I should have selected consumption rather than cost - herewith, the right image! Toodles.
