I’m a bit confused by this. We are currently discharging at -136w but our solar is bulk charging at 65w so shouldn’t we be discharging at a rate of 138w (load) - 65w (solar) = 73w discharge?

There will be power losses in the inverter generating the 138W which could easily be of the order of 50W if it is a large inverter. There will be a small voltage drop from MPPT causing a very small power loss. The Cerbo GX or whatever you are using for monitoring will be using a few Watts of power as well. At present the solar is just keeping up with overheads.
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
