[RE-wrenches] Radian Charges 1 hour per calendar day

[frenergy]

The only thing I would add to William's list of things to do to solve 
this issue is that there is a proper sequence in shutting down and 
rebooting the inverter, found in Outback  docs.  There is also firmware 
for the HUB but not sure if that would help or is necessary in this 
situation.
