If you are referring to the buy/sell pricing in the Tesla app, yes, I incorporated the NBCs (and then some) into the buy/sell prices. I was always trying to fool the app into working correctly for my situation and if I did get it to work correctly for one thing it would break something else. I...

I'm barely a net producer. Sometimes I'm a net consumer in kWh but a net producer in dollars. I was using TBC and getting hammered with NBCs. Part of the problem with TBC is it will prioritize sending solar to the grid during peak hours instead of self-consuming it. I switched to...

According to the article in post #3595 it will go down about $0.05/kWh.

The author didn't even discuss how big of an impact the new rate structure will be for solar customers. And he said the fixed monthly fee is similar to that for SMUD customers but didn't mention that SMUD's energy fees are muuuch lower.

I'm actually OK with having a monthly fee to support the infrastructure and a seperate energy fee, I just think people with NEM contracts should be grandfathered into the original price structure until the contract runs out. That was the deal. However the fees should be representative of the...

So, at that point, you would be better off sending the power back to the utilities even during off-peak than having the 10% round trip efficiency loss when using the Powerwall if you are in NEM2.

I wonder why all NBCs weren't included in the fixed fee. And I wonder if the NBCs will actually go down.

Yep...that is the intent. It is the utility's way of sidestepping the NEM contract. Get money even if you don't get the energy from them and devalue what energy you send to them.

Currently the monthly MDC charges can be used to offset NBCs. I still haven't seen an answer on whether MDCs are part of this fee, all of this fee, or none of this fee. I.e., can this fee be used to offset NBCs. The answer to this could have a big impact on my bill. If the reason for the...

One of the main questions if have that I haven't seen answered is if the new monthly fee is like the current MDC where it can be used to offset NBCs, a mixture where the MDCs are a smaller portion of the monthly fee, or if there are no longer MDCs.

Upgraded to 7.4.1.0 and it still looks the same. I have store energy capacity in the cloud enabled.

It initially looked like the post above (as I remember) but now it looks like this:

How is the battery degradation graph supposed to look in the new version? I have 3 powerwalls and there is a percentage of degradation shown for all 3 in the table. However there is nothing showing in the graph (other than dashed lines at 13.5 and 9.5 kWh) and the dates are all 12/30/1899. I...

FYI, I used to have a sluggishness problem but it cleared itself up several months back (perhaps with one of the updates) but now it has returned.
