Strange, now that the VPP event has ended my PW is charging from the grid. I have grid charging set to NO although the SOC is below my normal 30% reserve. VPP reserve is 20%. Charging at 3.8kW. Edit to add I'm in self powered mode. Edit 2: adding attachment. Edit 3: It has stopped...

Yes to grid. PWs were exporting at their 10 kW max for x2 PWs. When my system was initially installed the export limit was "infinite." Not infinite but a one with more zeros than I cared to count. I think it was when I first joined the VPP a couple years ago it was dropped to the ~7.6 kW (the...

Interesting my site export limit has changed. Last year I was capped at ~7.6 kW. I just noticed it was exporting at 9.5 kW and checked the API. The export limit was bumped up to 10.6 kW.

In my experience last year, the PW would not discharge during the peak period prior to a VPP event and it would discharge at a rate during the event so that it would hit the reserve at the end of the event. This year of course could be different given the events are limited to 2 hours in...

I've had that happen a few times with mine this year. I have to hit the reset button in the the GW to get it back.

Far from an expert but could stray current/voltage on the neutral/ground cause the L1 to L2 voltage to rise at the meter? Just thinking that besides the addition of the load the other difference between on and off grid is that you would be utilizing the neutral if you have unbalanced 120V loads.

Just FYI, the house load is a calculated value. The Tesla app adds up the solar, PW, and grid flow and calculates an assumed house load. If one of those measurements (solar, PW, or grid) is off then the house load will be incorrect. I have a similar issue as @Matt-FL but it looks like my...

I don't think that is true for everyone. As a net produced sending all my solar to the grid during peak just increases my energy credits which I end up losing at true up. It also uses more of my PW energy during peak to cover the house loads which means less off peak energy that my PW could...

Just for reference when I'm on battery power my meter bounces around in between ±20W so is pretty much averages out to zero. I'm using the built in CTs in the gateway and this is in the US. What you are seeing seems a bit excessive. Have you brought this up to your installer? If you...

I think you meant $0.2/kWh😃. The Tesla webpage linked above says there is at least one event per month.

Not to add on to the feature creep but a couple things that would be useful to me: Immediate manual control of the mode and reserve level. I would probably never have to open the Tesla Energy app if Netzero could do this. One time automations. For example, if I know there is a storm coming...

Nice job integrating the vehicle usage and home usage into the same graph on the home page. I was going to request something along those lines, but you did it better than what I was imagining.

I haven't played with COS since it initially rolled out, but at the time if you logged out of the app and back in COS would show up again.

Even with no clouds the amount of PM in the atmosphere will change how much of the light is scattered. It might be an artifact of the camera's autogain, but the last day looks like there might be more scatter as the sun looks "bigger." A breeze will also change the temperature of your panels...

I guess I've never been too concerned that my phone would stop working or at least I could figure out how to get it working again. The only thing I can think of is to turn off the powerwalls or reset the system which should bring it back on grid. I am only familiar with PW2s, so I don't know...
