Battery installed with a lean/not vertical - is this OK?

I've just had this Goodwe battery and inverter set up installed, it seems to run fine and the system is producing lots of energy, but I can't help notice the lean on it (i.e. it's been installed with the base a lot further away from the wall than the top, so isn't close to vertical, it's leaning back into the wall) - is this any issue at all? I assume a slight lean into the wall is ok/safer. Pics show the angle with a level applied, it just seems a lot to me? Thanks

Fox ESS vs Smart metre

Hi
I had solar installed a couple of months ago and the Fox ESS app consistently shows grid import of 0.1kwh per day whereas my smart metre usage shows approx 3kwh per day (even on very sunny days when I’m not home and battery is fully charged).

My neighbour (duplex) has the exact same setup but theirs shows 0.1kwh per day on both the app and smart metre.

Have tried contacting the installer multiple times to explain but they don’t think anything is wrong with the installation.

Any ideas please?
