Jason...not sure about the Enphase consumption monitoring, if it is done with CT's confirm that your CT's are facing the right direction. Some CT's are directional and perhaps your consumption monitoring could be backwards instead of the utility meter wiring backwards.....Seems like the utility would have noticed incorrect wiring in their can. We use the E Gauge CT clamps for some monitoring and they are directional. I am not familiar with the Enphase versions.
