To start, I know the difference between kW and kWhr :P. I have a 13.3kW system with a 10kW inverter. Prior to the installation, I received an email from TasNetworks, the state-owned provider, stating "The installation will be required to limit the combined export to the grid to 5kW."

Right now, it's a spring sunny day. According to my solar dashboard, I'm generating 9kW of power. My home is using under 0.5kW. The balance is being divided up between charging the battery and exporting to the grid. Once the battery is full (which typically occurs after noon when power generation begins to drop), I've noticed the export to the grid does exceed 5kW, eg yesterday was 5.5kW [but this could just be an approximation consistent with the true export being in fact 5 kW].

Questions:

1) If my dashboard tells me that over 5kW is being exported to the grid, is this evidence that the installers did not actually comply with the network's instructions to limit export?

2) Is it possible that I am actually exporting more…
