How much power do Enphase and other solar micro inverters draw at night time when switched off? It's actually a very interesting question involving real and apparent/reactive power, the system topology, and whether your storage battery is on-grid or off-grid, and also its efficiency curve.
Let's measure it, do some calculations, and look at when it might be a problem. Buckle up Dorothy!
