Not outside the saving sessions, 31p in to 15p out. I am trying to set and forget a tariff, then just use export all during the saving session. If you have batteries large enough to last the day without solar then I can use the settings @PITA suggested, unless I am missing something 🤔

I tried this, and realised that it dumps all the solar to the grid during peak time. Sadly my battery needs some solar during the day to keep going until 11.30pm most of the year so I think I am back to a special rate for the saving session 🤷‍♂️

Will give that a try at the next saving session 👍

Out of interest, what tariff prices have you entered? Seems from others, you have to enter fictitious export rates to make it work.

I am guessing you don’t look at the Energy Value on the impact page much with those settings 😀 Maybe I could be weaned of looking at those as well…

I mean setting the export tariff to £4 during the savings session then setting it back to 15p after. Just setting Export Everything (from Solar) without changing the tariff didn’t result in any export. Strange that it works for some people but not others, nor sure what is making it work/not work.

For those that have Powerwalls, have any of you managed to get the Powerwall to export without messing with the tariffs for the saving session? I can automate everything else in Home Assistant, i.e. the export everything during the session and turning it off afterwards, but I cannot set the...

Agree on charging the car from Solar, it is probably just offsetting what I would have charged on off peak electricity, rather than peak, unless of course I could not have charged the car enough in the off peak, but that is pretty rare. As far as comparing with last year, I think I have...

OK here goes, here is my man maths on what the actual saving was for the week the Powerwall said I saved £73, be gentle with me, I suspect I am missing something obvious... 1. Solar Saving: Generated 166.85 kWh - Exported 23.17 kWh = 143.68 kWh * Peak Cost £0.44 = £63.86 (don't think this is...

Mine is off peak £0.10 buy, sell £0.01 peak £0.44, sell £0.01 Tomorrow I will have a go at putting my attempt at how I calculate the saving, based on - Solar Generated - Export to Grid - Off Peak House Usage - Off Peak Draw from Grid - Peak House Usage - Peak Draw from Grid All from the...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know how the Tesla Powerwall App calculates its "Energy Value" on the Impact Page? This, I believe, is what Tesla thinks you have saved by having the Powerwall and Solar. It says it considers solar and peak to off-peak offset from...

Know a few others here have Powerwalls, so thought I would ask here. Is it just me or are others getting Server Maintenance Notifications (Errors?) on their Tesla App? Haven't seen it before in the 6 months or so of having the Powerwall, now I have seen it twice in two days, just when I want...

Is there anywhere that compares Octopus Tracker and Flexible Octopus for Gas, both seem to claim to follow the Gas wholesale costs? Trying to work out whether it is worth jumping from Flexible to Tracker, but it is not clear what the advantages are.

Since there are a number of Powerwall owners on this thread, thought I would ask this here rather than start a new thread :) Just had a Powerwall installed (at last) and trying to set up the Octopus Go in the Utility Rate Plan in the App. Am I missing something or is there no way to set the...

Would be interested to hear what you replaced the radiators with? Also, where did you put the Sunamp? Thinking of replacing our immersion heater with one, but not much spare space unless we put it in the garage, then there is potentially lots of expensive plumbing to worry about.
