New to this, Tesla energy app a little confusing, need help on MY HOME screen.

What I’m wondering now is if I go to a time of use plan with PG&E will my system use the powerwall if there’s no solar during the high peak time, will my powerwall know to do that?

That's basically one of the main uses of a battery, and assuming your battery has a charge that is above the backup reserve percentage the system will typically use the battery for as long as it can. It can help setting your operational mode in the app to time-based control (TBC) and selecting the appropriate PG&E plan that you have so that the system knows what the different peak/off-peack/etc. times and associated prices are.

Just saw “server error ” on my app but it went away quickly, anyone else see that?

Some connectivity oddities happen like that every once in a while. Sometimes there's an actual outage (on Tesla's side) that might be involved and might be there for some time, but that's typically fairly rare.

You mean their batteries are not functioning properly? Should get more reliable ones.
