Disregard my last post, I had it backwards. It's actually a benefit for system owners.

So in other words they are changing the grid event parameters to extract almost zero extra benefit from system owners, but the end result will be a 1/3 lower connected solutions compensation payment. Got it. 🙄

That's strange! After the self powered and time based control option I have the energy exports option as well as the advanced options. It might be worth a call to Tesla to see why you don't have this. Do you have the Tesla gateway as well (I assume you do since you have PW's)?

I just have the standard app. Didn’t talk to support or ask for anything special. What do you see when you click on settings in the tesla app?

Yea you would think for those participating in connected solutions it would be enabled during the grid services event by default.

settings --> powerwall --> scroll down. iOS, Tesla app version 4.11.0

I just posted in another similar thread, but I figured out why my power walls were only matching house load during grid events. The settings weren't allowing for battery export. Make sure energy exports is set to everything. I don't remember this setting always being there, I could be mistaken...

I finally figured out what was limiting my battery output to match the house load during grid events. The settings were wrong! Energy exports has to be set to everything. Every grid event I've been trying to run am much useful electrical load as I can, running the dishwasher, dryers (with...

I believe connected solutions is supposed to override user config if you are enrolled. (Unless you force it off grid) It should direct all solar power to the battery and pull from the grid for house load during the day until the battery is charged and then dump the battery at full power to the...

Yesterday my system was only matching house demand. I cranked up demand by charging my car, putting laundry in the dryers etc. I hope this is taken care of and the power walls just dump at full tilt otherwise the compensation will be very low and won't end of covering most of the power wall...

I saw the same thing happen. I just forced a large load on my house by rushing around to put laundry in the dryer, run the dish washer, charge the car etc. I expected the power walls to just dump at full tilt to the grid. I'm going to be very unhappy if this is the standard because it's not...

I'm interested in what you find out related to the connected solutions payments and being counted as income. I don't see how this could be considered income from a taxation perspective until the system has actually generate more revenue than it cost to install. If you determine how to...

Related to the 25kW threshold, I believe it's AC inverter size. Just make sure Tesla keeps your inverter size under that, it's fine to over panel/tile a bit. Make sure you call MA ACA to understand what block they are currently allocating in your area. Realize that by the time Tesla applies...

I called the MA ACA and I can apply for net metering but there is a waiting list and the net metering cap for my area is currently fully allocated. Also when you apply for a net metering cap when over 10kW AC, you only get a credit for about 60% of the full retail rate for monthly overproduction...
