 714 less 10% inverter** loss = 642.6 KWh

 642.6 less 1% wiring losses = 636.2 KWh

 636.174 less 8% transformer losses = 585.3 KWH

Without accurate on-site utility acceptance readouts the above figure gets within 7% of your estimated 540 KWh. Unless you sit and watch that readout until it turns over to next unit - or have access to utility accounting summary that is not shabby so far...

** http://tinyurl.com/6pd2yz <-- Spec PDF sheet, Max. efficiency 95.2% ~ 94.4%; doubtful it reaches that except at peak input (winter temperature PV boost) IF system is well balanced...

Sorry as I was typing .. you posted.
Well with those type of losses broken down it does makes sense.
Its a shame to see those types of losses especially when your counting dollars a day.
Thanks for the clarity
