just noticed the grid charging option, but I'm SCE NEM2, so maybe I'm missing something here regarding arbitrage. I see folks mentioning getting $14k back from selling back power (though they seem to be PG&E) It seems like SCE has it stacked against me utilizing grid charging to 'make money'...

for what it's worth, i signed back around 8/15/2020, responded to their requests immediately, fixed the roof but they didn't respond or acknowledge the roof was fixed until end of 9/2020, got SCE approval around 10/20/2020, but they didn't install until around day before Thanksgiving. Actual...

so, it's not storage capacity that's going to increase? bummer

IIRC, if you're a net producer at the end of 12 months, it's worse, since they zero out your accumulated credit and give you around 3 cents for every kWh.

Not surprising a lot of us are in Socal in a SCE thread though :D

I have a Delta M8... I think it's supposed to support up to 9.6kW DC voltage?

hmm. FWIW, Shopaholic, here's my system for your comparison Quantity: 24 Panels System Size: 8.16 kW Est. Annual Production: 12641 kWh Averaging 38kWh this whole summer...

FWIW, my 8.16kW system is averaging 38kWh daily all through summer and I'm in Southern California. I put the details of my system in this response: 8.1 kW system daily production?

I'm just a few miles north of you in Orange County... 8.16kW system generating 36kW/day in summer :(

curious... your picture seems to be showing a powerwall next to a powerwall+ and not your inverters... (well, one might be peaking through behind your gate) I'm also very jealous of your chart... mine shows a lot of those dips throughout the day because of my neighbors' trees and a chimney on...

My understanding is that SCE gives us two different accounting for solar, one billed on a monthly basis and one account balance that is settled on an annual basis. This is in no way refuting anything posted previously, just my own observation of how SCE is doing things and the way I'm...

Funny enough, as far as I can tell, other parts of the globe allow that exact scenario for powerwall. Additionally, here's what I'm finding as what I'm getting with my TOU NEM plan: Off-peak cost: 27cents/kW Peak cost: 43cents/kW selling power back to the system at any time: 7cents/kW edit...

OP here... sorry for not checking back, I didn't realize I wasn't getting alerts on posts on my thread. I did perform a few different levels of restarts that did not help the situation. But instead of waiting until 8/30 for Tesla to take a look, I did find 'MTool' for iOS that was able to...

noticed i'm on 21.20.6 as well (2xPW2 (not plus). also in California.

Spent the whole day looking into "no grid charge' mode and such... looks like there's some legislation in progress between PG&E/SCE and the state to try to allow grid-charging if you add a fancy meter that can tell you're not exporting off-peak grid power back out during peak.
