OK I have finally made the Time of Use and Pricing work so the Powerwall is only charging from Solar between 1000 hrs and 1400 hrs so that part is now working just need to make the Tesla system export limit once the negative pricing comes in next year. Plenty of time so should be worked out in...

The graphic you have supplied seems very different to what I have and I can't seem to duplicate it with my Tesla app on my phone. How did you set this up? regards Joe

Tried the Tesla PW2, Settings "go off grid" feature it stops export dead and balances load between battery and Solar , so Tesla can do it all if it wants to just need the correct algorithm plenty of time before the charges start

Yep just noticed behavior is changing as the battery now seems to jump in and supply load leaving export steady then taper off and recharge from the solar

Just tried time of day giving off peak zero cost and Peak $0.36 SAME RESULT starts charging from excess solar as soon as sun up will now try using sell price as well

Interesting we installed a 2nd PW2 this week and we are now able to use the "go off grid" function , when we had 1 PW2 it would stop the function unless the battery was below 90% (which seemed crazy) but now all works fine as I just tested it. So it would seem I can force Zero export by...

I have tried to set up TBC but the slider has my head spinning trying to stop charging from sun up to 1000hrs , have also asked Enphase they gave me a ticket then silence. Have now gone to my system installer to see what he can offer Time will tell

Has any one found a way to create a time based charging window for a PW2? Next year the power companies will be allowed to bill for Solar Export to the grid during 1000hrs to 1400hrs. (and Pay for consumed power during same window) My PW2 start charging as soon as surplus Solar is available and...

Thanks for your thoughts and replies will look for AU specific site Joe PS getting a second PW2 next week so will have some scope for load and storage, looks like this will become a major issue next year when all the Grid/supply gets swamped and the penalty price gets higher Thanks again

Can I limit my Power Wall 2 Charging to set hours. I'm in NSW Australia and next year the power companies will charge to export power to the grid between 1000 hrs and 1400 hrs My battery now charges as soon as excess solar is available and is normally fully charged by 1000 hrs so will be...

Yes!!! Just got the mail and a cheque from Origin Energy to finalise the issue in my favour. It took a long time and a couple of false starts. I can't stress more strongly to check what type of meter you have and if it is not a "interval meter" then check it reguarly Now all I need is more sun...

Wow the negotiations slowly move on! Just had a call from the Power and Water ombudsman and they used the actual power from the New Smart meter for 3 months and aplied that back to the date the PW2 was installed and submitted this to Origin as a fair resolution of the issue and Origin have...

Finaly Origin completed their investigation The Ombudsman would not take any further action untill Origin finalised their case Origin answere:- :Hello Joe, Hope this email finds you well. I've already reviewed the readings on the bills and the bill is correct and it's inline with the...
