My newly installed Tesla Powerwall 3 and Gateway. The battery slowly drains over the day despite there been lots of solar production and minimal draw by the home.
Is this normal?

Something sounds odd there; if you have solar power charging the PW3 and minimal consumption, the battery ought to charge to (and hold) a full charge until the available solar energy drops below the level of your consumption. At this point, you might well start using the charged PW3’s energy. There are many settings in the Tesla app to control how your Tesla kit behaves; you may care to have a look at these settings to ascertain what is happening. Regards, Toodles.
