I can't recall what you shared was the continuous and peak rating of your inverter, but I thought most 3000W/6000W pure sine wave inverters used about 1/2 those watts under no-load now.

IIRC, my coulomb counters showed a a total change in current of about 5A between 'Inverter ON' and 'Inverter OFF'. (Voltage was about 13.3V). But there may have been other factors at play - variable loads from the DC powered fridge and perhaps some variability in current being supplied from the Solar Controllers.
