We have daily readings since 2012 so can see the jump from when smart meter installed. I think I need to get Which? involved as trying myself is going in circles.
(Of course it's possible the previous meter was reading low or supply up to inverter didn't go via meter so if it is drawing wouldn't get monitored but even then it shouldn't draw that much surely.)

Had smart meters installed a few years ago and my bills didn't go up at all.
Changed supplier twice since having them installed and still not had increase in bills apart from standard tariff increases, but that's when it's time to change!
