Why do I see negative power in the load output in the CSV download?

There are some slight inaccuracies in the sensors when current is close to 0. On the Cloud Solar platform, any negative load outputs are represented as 0, however in the downloadable CSV file, the raw data is available in case of any major issues with the sensors. If you see negative load output, you may treat it as 0.
