I think I found a work-around to prioritise PW2 charging when using CoS. Although you need to be a little bit vigilant with the App in the morning.
On Monday I used CoS to add 90km range to my car, but I waited until the PW2 was full before going to the garage and plugging my car in. Not super-convenient. I left the car plugged in overnight, knowing it would not grid charge with the CoS settings I have.
Yesterday was sunny again so I didn’t want to miss out on pumping up the Tesla with maximum solar. But I wanted the PW2 to fill up first.
So in the morning, once there was enough sun for CoS to start, and the App showed it had started, I swiped over to my car, and simply tapped “stop charging” in the charging panel. The car stopped charging, and all excess solar started filling the PW2 instead. CoS did not restart, because there was no longer enough excess solar.
Once the PW2 was full at midday, there was enough excess solar for CoS to restart, which it did automatically, without any intervention.
I did the same thing this morning once CoS started, and my PW2 has been filling all day. Although it’s been a bit cloudy so it won’t get to 100% and so CoS will not restart.
