Yes, same for me. I'm on that FW version too. Other than not being able to set a separate reserve PW level for VPP events, it all went as planned utilizing my main system reserve level. I was surprised that I only exported 15.9kWh over the course of two hours (reserve was set to 5%) ... the...

Last year it was a guessing game, but it was easier to estimate as it was PW kWh exports. It would be better to see a running tally in the app

Yes, compensation is quite obfuscated and will be difficult to estimate vs original program. Previously, you at least could look at your PW export kWH numbers and have a pretty good idea what you will be paid.

Yep. Seeing the same event here.

Correct. I followed the process as described above. This is what I suspect is going on. From the FW version data collected by NetZero, I am definitely behind; I'm at 23.12.11 (which doesn't even appear in their list)! Note, I have 2x PowerWall 2 units. Display and adjustment of Backup...

Thanks. Weird. Tesla Chat was of NO help bordering on the side of completely clueless and rude. They said that they would reach out to the app team and get back to me in 10 to 15 business days (typical Tesla level of support). The chat agent's claim was that I was enrolled in the DSDG...

Can someone please post a screen shot of the menu in Virtual Power Plant -> Settings -> Virtual Power Plant? Of corse, Tesla Chat support is giviing me the run around and telling me not to mess with the app!!! I would like to know what setting is supposed to be presented in that sub menu. I'm...

Yes, I can turn VPP on/off and set event priority, but when I choose the 2nd VPP option is when I get the error message. Is reserve percentage the only option in that sub menu?

Thanks. I have iOS devices. Happens on both iPad Pro 13” and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Uninstalled and reinstalled. What should be in the sub menu: Virtual Power Plant -> Settings -> Virtual Power Plant?

Who knows at this point. I also don’t know who to contact about the error I’m seeing. Is anyone else seeing this? Post in thread 'Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA' Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

I was registered in the original VPP and am now registered in the new program. When I chose from the Tesla App: Virtual Power Plant -> Settings -> Virtual Power Plant I receive the following error message (retry does nothing). Does anyone else get this? What should be in this menu setting...

https://www.electrive.com/2024/05/16/teslas-solar-and-storage-division-to-be-responsible-for-supercharger-charging-network/ Well, if you thought that solar tech support and service was already bad, this will only make it worse. For my 3 solar/PW ssues, I each had to jump through multiple hoops...

With the last program, I only had events in August and September when the grid was stressed the most.

Just checked. Same here!

Looking forward to getting my $50 check.

LOL ... yea, I was checking something else and saw that I was no longer enrolled in the ELRP program. After I submitted my data for the new program the VPP section changed to Processing Application, and after checking again it now states: So hopefully will get moved into the new program by...

I requested to unenroll last week and just saw that it was processed today in the app. I just submitted my new request to enroll in the new program. I wasn't sure which account number to use for SCE as my bill shows both Customer and Service account numbers. I ended up using the Customer Acct...

But does this mean that the daily basic charge and minimum daily charge goes away? SCE TOU plans have these charges. In the end, SCE and the others will not be losing out on any funds and will only continue to make more $$$ with this change.

Same here ...

Yep, for me, I'm pretty much 100% self powered from April to October. I will sometimes pull some excess generation from the grid if I have to perform a more full charge for my EVs, but I try to charge them on excess solar before it is pushed to the grid when I can. I also will pull from the...

Zoning!! Unless you are super rural, no city is going to let you erect a turbine in your yard

Check the messages icon in your Tesla app

Same here. Pretty quick for Tesla!

Yea, I found the same thing. I couldn't set the date correctly until I changed the year first! This was on iOS. No idea why they need birthdate to send $$$. I hate giving extra info for companies to collect!!!

Just got the following email from Tesla: Payout Available Congratulations on a successful year as part of a Tesla Virtual Power Plant! Your incentive payment for the 2023 season has been credited to your Tesla account within the Tesla App in the amount of $234.97. Please note that to collect...

I don't think anyone has been issued credit for 2023 as of yet. Unless anyone on here can confirm that they have received them.

In the Program Facts for SCE, looks like payment will be digita/ACH: https://www.tesla.com/support/energy/virtual-power-plant/sce#membership Guess we'll just have to see.

I didn’t participate last year, but looks like payment is via ACH, was a physical check sent out last year?

I have first generation Tesla inverter. I had low coolant causing inverter shut down issues as well as Arc fault caused by connection issues on the panels. Each issue took a month each for Tesla service to come out to fix.

I no longer have my Model S, but am considering X-Care for my Lucid and Rivian once they get closer to warranty expiration. Seems like there have been good experiences on here.

VPP scheduled for today as well in So Cal. Mid 70's, not a cloud in the sky. Will take the extra $2/kWh

Yep ... that just happened to me. I had to remove ALL plants that were adjacent to my house or I would have been canceled. And because I'm in a fire zone, I can't get any other HO insurance, so I had to do as the insurance company told me. My front yard is now a barren wasteland.

… and another VPP scheduled right when tonigh’s ended. Discharge is definitely controlled so reserve is hit just as VPP ends.

Do you have a link or reference for that? My output total shows 10.2MWh for 2 year old system from the App

From a warranty perspective, does participating in VPP exclude unlimited warranty coverage for pushing stored energy to the Grid (as in VPP events)?? Where can you see aggregate throughput? Is that the sum of lifetime Discharged / Charged for the power wall in the app? If so, I'm already at...

I thought I read somewhere in the 50+ pages of this thread, that people who participated in VPP last year essentially got the amount they exported during VPP x dollar / kWH as payment back in March. All this nebulous calculation by the power companies really seems unnecessary as they will...

I wonder if that wording excludes unlimited warranty coverage for pushing stored energy to the Grid (as in VPP events)?? Where can you see aggregate throughput? Is that the sum of lifetime Discharged / Charged for the power wall in the app? If so, I'm already at 21.7MWh for my 2 year old system.

Yes, I have grid charging enabled

Will be interesting to see if tomorrow’s behavior is the same. VPP is longer (4-9pm). Battery discharge level should be lower than today’s. My 2x PW got down to 8% by the end of today‘s VPP event, had reserve set to 0%

Same here in So Cal. Battery is charging from the grid at 10kw

Yea, I opted out. Rain isn’t going to arrive until late Saturday. Stormwatch was far too early. I can manage battery level myself

I actually got a notification at 12:45 today stating that an event would occur from 6 - 9 pm today. System is keeping the PWs at 100% at the moment

That’s not the case for SCE to my knowledge

Same with 2 powerwalls. Had to set reserve to 5% and turn off AC to get maximum. Charging the powerwalls back up to 50% from the grid and cranking the AC. A little notice would have been nice.

Yes, I got an SCE alert about 1 minute before VPP notification from Tesla.

My second VPP event with 1 minute notice. Had to set battery to 5% so I could export.

My token never expires. It seems to auto update on its own. I haven't had to reauthenticate the Hubitat Powerwall Manager since I've installed it nearly a year ago.

Works great for me.

No storm watch in IE … had to manually control reserve level and charge from grid … been getting measly solar output

And I got a downgrade as well. Guess Tesla figures that FW as FUBAR
