Similar situation here. I have my export capped at 5500 for managing export rate (personal preference). I went to increase it before the event and it was already at 7850 (or something like that). I wasn’t sure if that was a fixed export rate for the event or if I didn’t have an export limit...

Wow. Where are you that the Sun is still up at 7pm??? I struggle to get anything past 6:30pm right now.

Can you track VPP earnings in the app after each event? Or do they make it more of a guessing came to know where you are.

For those of you who participated in VPP last year - how well does the system do to minimize consumption during peak outside the hours of the VPP. For the event tonight it's at 7pm-9pm, but peak is 4pm-9pm. Will the system run in self powered mode outside of the VPP event? If the event was...

Thanks! I did pause all of my automations. I would expect that only Self-Power or Time Based Controls could impact how it operates, but I agree that all settings may be disregarded. I don't see the reserve settings having an impact.

@offandonagain Can there be an option in NetZero to disable all automations during VPP events? During these events the Powerwall is more or less under the control of Tesla, and will discharge to the grid during the event. I noticed today when my Powerwall was on self powered mode with a...

VPP Event - May 30th 7pm to 9pm!

There is no menu on mine. I have the reserve setting slider instead.

Update: My Gateway was completely reset (Grid Code missing, not "registered" to a customer account, CT configs, everything). I had to re-commission the whole thing and re-add it back to my tesla account (even though it was already there). The "My Home" view only showed my wall connector, and...

Today, Powerwall Companion is not loading any data. Any ideas? Edit: Actually it looks like even the Tesla App is not getting data, so likely a "mothership" issue. :( Edit 2: Powerwall / TEG is down at my house, so this is a "Me" issue. :( :(

You don't have to apply for it. It will just show up as an option for you to sign up.

You can also set the maximum import rate yourself via the Tesla One app. You can set it to limit import to xx,xxx watts. Once you log in, you should be able to connect to your backup gateway TEG-XXX SSID and password which is in the cabinet on a sticker (last 5 digits of the serial #...

Just cancel it, and re-purchase it on the new vehicle. Or leave the money in savings until you need it, and then buy it down the road. https://www.tesla.com/support/extended-service-agreement#cancel

It was a pretty rough day here in Southern CA. 5/15. A good day would have been 44kwH with my 6.6kw system. For my system the trend line is pretty accurate for reference.

Great news! I’m glad you were able to get it fixed. Here in Southern CA our power rates are 0.24c off peak and 0.60c on peak. Next month it becomes 0.64c on peak for the summer rush. I also use about 1200-1400kwH per month, so the Powerwall is showing significant savings already (3 months...
