[RE-wrenches] var/ power factor

[toddcory at finestplanet.com]

I have a question about my personal home system. It is an Outback battery based grid tie. My digital utility meter is capable of reading var and power factor. So often (like just now) when I read this it is not even close to unity. Today's reading was 1.57 VAR, 56 PF. What is going on here? Am I not being credited for everything I am selling? The only significant load I have running is a dehumidifier... so an inductive load.
