Ullmo, I am having a related issue, I think. PW2 Firmware version 1.9.0, app version 3.2.0. What I experienced 2 nights in a row: • Even though app was set to Backup-only overnight (I manually change it anywhere from 11pm-7am depending on if I wake up in the middle of the night or stay up late)...

This has been my experience too and it was explained to me by the installer that it would take "about 15 minutes" for changes in the app to be pushed to/register with/cause the gateway and battery to change how they're routing energy. I'm curious as to why the delay exists though.

After 1 month of using the PW2 in Self-Powered mode here's what my PG&E usage looks like. (I started using it that way on June 27 after filling it that weekend from the grid) We are driving fewer local miles in the C-Max Energi since our gym commute is much shorter so our electric usage is way...

I think I found it on SGIP's site. It's a horrible spreadsheet - Tesla seems to be entered at least 10 ways as the manufacturer for the battery. My reservation also lists "FALSE" under being powered by renewables. This has been a pretty agonizing process - out of my control, in SolarCity's...

Thanks @Jeffgtx, I missed that! (EDIT: I've been going through each page of this thread, searching the forum, and searching the web and the SGIP, and can't find a link to this spreadsheet. Does anyone have the link or know what to search for?)

Question: has anyone actually received their SGIP incentive check? I should be in Step 1, having met the deadline and as one of the first 100 PW2 installs I don't see anything that would delay it. Long story short, my last communication from SGIP was on 6/29 that it was "under review". I keep...

MS85, I just got a call from Powerwall support about my email to them. It was a little difficult to parse the VM they left - I couldn't take the call - but it sounds like either new firmware is being pushed automatically to the gateway over the next 24-48 hours or there's an app update coming in...

Got it. When I tried turning off the power to the home completely in the evening when the house demanded more than solar was producing and then turned it back on in the morning when the solar was producing enough again, I'd be at around 59%. (assuming I didn't have to charge the car completely...

Agree 100% on the TOU adjustments. They would make a big difference for you. For me, I would want to draw from the PW2 after my panels stop producing as much as my home consumes, around 7pm these days. (this would vary by season and weather) My peak period is 2-9pm with PG&E's EV TOU plan and I...

I haven't received my SGIP incentive approval yet, but called SolarCity yesterday and got my contact person who was on vacation and wasn't able to respond to PG&E's requests for clarification. It seems like this is a small group or even a single person doing these for SolarCity, which is a...

Powerwall 2 battery usage customization update out today for iOS! I believe I am at 59% or so when the solar starts to kick in to refill the battery in the morning so I set it at 50% reserved for backup power for now. Will adjust as the time of year and weather changes. Very nice to see this...

New member, got my Powerwall 2 installed mid-May, don't have a Tesla but do have a Ford C-Max Energi PHEV. I'm posting because I'm having an issue with the SGIP rebate and this may be of some interest to people trying to calculate the ROI on a Powerwall 2. I have 2 emails since Monday to the...
