As far as I can tell the only other way for me to remove access would be to delete my Tesla account. I'm not going to delete my Tesla account because the new owner did not do what they are supposed to do. I cannot remotely shutoff their power, the phone has to have been paired to the powerwalls...

And like I said earlier I asked the new buyer to do the transfer with Tesla so they could control the App and powerwall's but they never did it. I keep the App setting just as I had them so they are at least load shifting.

My contractor provided paperwork for the transfer.

I disclosed all the installation information (permits, design, operation, etc.) basically every document that was on the Swell website. I summarized how they operated. I signed whatever paperwork they sent to transfer the Powerwall's to the new owner. I could not find a way to transfer the...

Does adding batteries to a NEM 2 solar system post NEM 3 force a change over to NEM 3?

So do you still think that you can't have too much solar? I ask because in this forum you have stated that you can't have too much solar numerous times.

You can qualify for SGIP under a medical baseline with multiple PSPS shutoffs and keep E-TOU-C. If you qualified for another reason like a well pump in a high fire area that has had multiple PSPS shutoffs, you have to be on EV2A.

I think you still have metering or inverter issues as the production number seems pretty low.

Average Joe is pretty much not very smart. Even in a gas/diesel powered truck your mileage goes way down when towing. They are literally complaining that the computer range calculation is screwed up when the exact same thing happens in a dino fueled vehicle. Idiots...

They do and then they send you the bill.

It only takes about 4-7 years to construct a pumped storage plant. I do not know of any in California that have begun construction. Eagle Crest was licensed in 2014 for 1300/MW but has yet to start contstruction. Apparently scaling even for pumped storage is an issue.

The amount of storage required to cover the current 14,000/MW of commercial solar, and who knows how much rooftop solar that is not generating for 13-17 hours each night will be staggering.

I agree all the cheater should be banned.

I am guessing you do not have to wear a CPAP to sleep. I would suggest having someone wake you up every 30 seconds all night by putting their hand over your nose and mouth. You really do not sleep if you have a bad case of sleep apnea and the CPAP is mandatory.

AMI does not apply to medical baseline. I believe in a later decision they changed the electric well pump rule to have an AMI limit. Initially the program did not have an AMI limit for electric well pump customers who met the other criteria.

The electric well pump inclusion has an income requirement, household income no greater than 80% of AMI (Area Median Income)

I just wonder how it would handle if the leaf is being charged at the time of a grid outage. I would guess you would drain your powerwalls to your leaf and after the powerwalls die the leaf would pickup. That would not be ideal but I think it would work.

It will be interesting to see if you can get the leaf integrated into your system and have it play nice with your powerwalls. I imagine that will be your greatest difficulty.

Based on your math for the high usage customer this bill for 850kWh would be about $311 not $525?

You are correct. I thought you had to have had events but with medical baseline you do not.

A significant transmission or generation forced outage would also be a reason for calling on VPP energy.

Have you had 2 or more PSPS events? If you have you might qualify for 2 powerwalls under the medical baseline. To qualify for the 3 powerwalls under SGIP you would have to meet income limits and I believe be on a well pump as your sole source of water.

With a medical baseline you qualify for 2 powerwalls regardless of peak consumption. I failed to mention you have to have sustained multiple PSPS outages to qualify.

True, but this also limits capacity of those participating and might be part of the reason the total MW capacity is so low.

Swell Energy. SGIP equity resiliency. Must be on medical baseline to qualify without having an income threshold qualifier.

I thought they would have higher adoption. 100 MW would be a good start. I thought they would get more like 250 MW. At $2000/MW this will likely be called upon just prior to shedding load. I certainly hope the program doesn't drain peoples powerwalls for 2 hours and allow the local utility to...

6 MW that is absolutely pathetic. I run a relatively small system and losing a 6/MW generator is basically not noticable except for the actual breaker operation.

No, Swell Energy.

Fresh application submited after I closed on the new house in mid March. Application went in at the end of March 2022. Received my funding reserved on May 12th, 2022.

PG&E SGIP Equity Resilincy budget is open with $1.4 million available. I recently got my approval notification letter for 2 powerwalls at the new home under this section of SGIP budget.

Might want to put the solar +ESS in self consumption to limit grid exports, to be fair.

A COP of 3 would still be 5 MWH. What is a good COP for an air source heat pump these days?

I did the math for heat pump heating at my house and estimate I would need an additional 7-9 MWH of energy to produce the 50 MMBTU that I would need during heating season with a COP of 2-2.5. With PG&E rates it would be almost the same cost as propane, not counting the significant cost to switch...

PACE loans will also need to be paid off by the owner if they want to sell the home to someone getting financing through Fannie, Freddy, FHA, VA as the PACE lien tied to the home has a superior position to the new mortgage. B5-3.4-01, Property Assessed Clean Energy Loans (12/16/2020) Do not...

What is your monthly winter usage for heating?

Another bogus argument. You are not leaving the IOU's by turning off exports. Disconnection is leaving, good luck with that.

CAISO posts prices in $/MWH so it is the $2/kWh question not $2000/kWh.

Most people do not

And when the realtime price goes to $2000 are you going to open your disconnects and sit in the dark when it is 110 outside or 20 outside . Not to mention the grid is checked to be in balance every 4 seconds, yet pricing by CAISO is published every 5 minutes. This is published after the fact so...

I think I am looking at it different than you are when it comes to the $0.31. Any time that I am using energy from the solar system I am not paying PG&E that rate. I do not believe that under NEM 3 I will be paid that rate. I have said multiple times that if NEM 3 passes I will shift my usage to...

I bought a house that happens to have solar and I should disconnect it or I am a hypocrite. Well I am not an idiot so that is not going to happen. Guess I am a hypocrite, oh man that stings, okay i am over it. The vast majority of this thread has been whining about paying fixed costs if NEM 3...

No but I do know how to program my equipment to use power when my solar is generating and therefore the vast majority of it will be at $0.31/kWH. Let's see pool pump check, Thermostat check... Is this too hard for you Donuthole? If all future homeowners had the same benefit as NEM 2, and they...

It would be somewhere in between though I would think that it would be far closer to the high end than the low end. It is pretty easy to program a thermostat to use the AC to cool the house in summer while the solar is producing. NEM 2 already requires TOU rates at least in my service area as...

$440-$660 how do you get to that value? Are you taking every kWH of solar generation and sending it to the grid? That is more than a bit extreme. I believe the actual numbers for me and for most people would be much better than what you think.

That is a great idea! No not really. I will just pay the per kw solar fee if that ever comes about. The system generates about 11/MW a year which at 0.31/kwh is about $3400, paying $720 of that to the PoCo doesn't seem like such a big deal.

In the ultimate irony I bought a house with solar. It does not change my position on NEM 3. I don't really care if they change NEM and have some grid charges as I do understand that the grid needs to be paid for and is a benefit to everyone. There is not some massive benefit to the grid from a...

We are in the process of listing my SGIP powerwall home. We are planning on making the disclosures for how the system must be operated. My contractor, Swell Energy, requested that I pass on their information to the new buyer so they can answer any questions and to ensure the system is properly...

1 week is not 0.1% of the time. The generator will not charge your Plaid or Powerwalls. You will be spending a whole lot of money to save $128/month. It's your money so you can burn it up for all I care.
