Bumping this to return to Tesla's promise that the new app will fix the math. It doesn't. I'm likely a victim of the same clerical error as trautmane.

Called support. They said they're redesigning the energy section of the app. The iOS version should be rolling out, the Android version is later this month. She said the visuals are going to be different. Rather than filing a bug report, I'm going to wait for the Android update.

Same zero consumption during the day issue here. I was planning to chat with support about it. As soon as my production exceeds my consumption, the Powerblaster's output is ignored, home usage flatlines on the energy usage page, and the three circle page shows all my production going to the...

This is the published tariff, but it doesn't show the COG-1 rate. https://www.duke-energy.com/_/media/pdfs/for-your-home/rates/rates-fl/retail-rates-by-rate-schedule.pdf?la=en My February bill has a line item on it labeled Net metering annual unused energy credit. For 16 cents. Elsewhere on the...

I should share my experience. Before install, I had a typical central Florida outdoor split meter/main and a separate service panel in the garage. The service panel in the garage is full, as a result a 2014 patio upgrade by the former owners added loads in the outdoor panel. The outdoor split...

I think about the 11 cents I pay Duke and they pay me. I think about consumers in my region who pay more, and having an aggregator sell my excess production where 20 cents is a bargain. I see this as an electric bill and an electric check, complete with a Form 1099 at the end of the year.

Local non-SolarCity installer that Tesla subbed to said they are allowed 15 days to approve. Since it's all written down over here: https://www.flrules.org/gateway/readFile.asp?sid=0&tid=5455200&type=1&file=25-6.065.doc, I challenged that the same way you just did. They have 30 days, see 7(c)...

My install was Monday. I'm about to go through all of this with Orange County. I doubt I'll have the patience, and I've been told our inspections are only running 3-4 weeks. Duke has 15 days. They'll be reported to the PSC when they fail. It's good to know that they're providing information...

When I asked them this question, they said they get three bids and show you the best offer. They leave/suspend/delay the job and wait for the panel upgrade to be completed. The upgrade typically requires another electric permit because the bidder is arms' length to Tesla Energy Operations. In...

Lots of great comments, thanks. I did state one thing I need to clarify, the 3 and 12 cents were examples I took too literally. Actual numbers may significantly vary. I'm absolutely in agreement that excess production should be wholesale rate, and as BrettS confirmed, that's already the case...

I've received news from the Florida PSC that is cause for concern at a time when energy storage options are immature and overpriced compared to what is coming in the next 5 years. Net metering may pay wholesale, aka avoided cost, on all excess customer-owned generation. We would earn 3 cents per...

I got a warm response to my letter to Commissioner Graham, from his Chief Advisor. Even though I did not mention this forum in my message, it was mentioned in the reply, so PSC staff are watching this and probably other threads. If you have comments about the Florida liability insurance...

The mounting system they use (from the company they bought (SolarCity) that bought the company that makes them (Zep)) doesn't allow for raised panels.

A clean garage is a treatable mental condition.

Got the redesign I wanted, moving the added panels to the most productive roof and off the front of the house, for a boost of 1,384kWh. A 5% increase for "no, not there, over there." The previous design put the 8 added panels on the northeast-facing section under the Project Sunroof pin below...
