Does the governor have veto power over the CAPUC? If so I would imagine that the PV/PS industry is going to be putting a lot of pressure on him to make this more palatable if CA is planning on making their energy and environmental goals, not to speak about revenue etc.

I have been using heat pumps on two different homes since 1980. Prior to my latest set I basically hated them and was convinced the technology was terrible, especially if you lived in any area that got below 45*F and had relative humidity > 25%. Plus they were so loud they drove me up the wall...

You can fix this: Have Tesla add a CT to this circuit and bundle it with the house CT. I have it this way and the PWs will feed the charger too (only when grid connected). Ask me how I know. (because I screwed up the other day and forgot to reset my charger to timed charge after a trip. The car...

Mine is still set to 10 as my VPP application was rejected. Supposedly the numbers I entered didn't jive so I am back in the pending pool. Anyway mine has exceeded 10 kW on a number of occasions when (solar - house load) was added to the 10 kW (i.e. 14.5 kW). Mine can slow too. The most EE max...

Mine never does this. It can occasionally discharge a little bit in partial peak just before peak on a Friday confident that it really won't need much to fill the PWs on Sat (which is mostly off peak).

After a week mine came back as rejected because it said my numbers did not match with my powerwalls? I was able to re-apply (99% sure I put in the correct numbers first time), so we'll see what the next week brings. (I pulled the numbers from the B/W bill and they were the same as what is on...

So pressing down on the right scroll does not bring up a scrollable window that you can select other options?

I wish. My peak is buy is 60 cents so I set the sell to 57 cents. Same on all my other periods. I made the sell price 3 cents less than the buy.

I just used the WAG (3 cent delta) price for three reasons: The one way losses are already factored into the storage costs (ie what you put in is not what is stored) The loss as a $ standpoint is sort of weird since it's really a kWh loss but I see what you are doing with TOU. I witnessed my...

My high for June was 45.7 kWh. Average for me is not really relevant because there were a lot of days with cloud cover to some extent. And now the heat has brought the average highs down to 43.5 kWh. I do have some early morning and late afternoon shading that on 1/2 the panels which probably...

3/4 of mine are solar roofs. I wonder if they are not as efficient as panels? Also one is on a 45* roof which is worse during the prime production months. Oh well. I am sure the quality of my power is better. 🙂

Wow. That is impressive. I have three independent systems done years apart and they mostly put out about the same power per square foot, with the exception of the one that has some panels NW. Now I am jealous. :(

No. Sierra foothills near Placerville.

FWIW I have a 10.5 kW system and all panels are basically S with 2.5 kW NW. 45 kWh is about as good as it gets. Last June I did have 3 days that got 48, but that was rare. While the NW panels do better obviously during the summer months, they heat just about negates their input. My peak...

My car has shown no upgrades for well over a year.

I think there is a lot to watch here, especially for us that zero out (or now with EE), are already negative during peak periods, when these events are almost always going to be called. And in Tesla's case, the term VPP is kind of a misnomer. Yes you could just reduce your power during these...

I don't think that is anything more than if you exported, or had exported, with the settings you had, you would see this much money.

FWIW on Android. I did not have the VPP program last night but this AM I noticed I had an update for the app pending. After update it was there. It may have been there overnight but ...

I get 60 cents an kWh during peak for my energy (solar direct or Export Everything). This is $2/kWh. Why would I not do this?

It does. the evac map is the one posted above.

What? No credit for me? 🙂 I thought it was the sum of exports (solar + PWs) but I must admit I have not chased that down yet. But I suspect you are correct in assuming it's total solar (and perhaps any grid power put into the PWs). Like I said above. I will try to take a swag at this and see...

Oh. OK. In my case it's pretty simple. I mostly (always?) export only during peak period. That is my biggest payback period by far. There are a few exceptions but they are rounding errors. I suppose net generators or people with lots of solar that also spill over into partial peak regularly...

That is in the table that is referenced. I had to wack it because I am on EVA1 and they don't support that out of the shoot.

I had some PG&E line folks by my house because they had to replace the transformer. They were all over the Solar Flower, Solar Roof and Powerwalls like a moth to a flame and thought they were the greatest things ever. They talked it up with me on how they worked, what my return was, how it...

And does it show that you have a rate plan set?

Just for the heck it: How does your calcs align with the Impact value Tesla calculates in the app? It appears to be the "sold back" value, and not the total net costs/payment. I did not see a way to download it, but if you did it month by month it might not be too bad manually. I am coming up...

No. My last post was bogus. I was thinking the Tesla GW when I responded. I am using the Tesla supplied black box (Nerio?) for my Delta and it's connected to a WiFi extender via ethernet. But that IP address gives nothing. Trying to connect to it will result in no connection, so I doubt there is...

That seems like kind of a high (41) air pressure to throw an alert. Mine don't get excited until about 36. So I suspect for whatever reason the sensor has not reset itself or it is defective. One time I had to wait overnight for the sensors to reset after a tire change but I only drove it for...

I see that now that I am down to 40% reserve. I have two large discharges separated by coasting. I suspect when I drop to 30% I will have three large discharges and three coasting periods. I suspect if she baked the cookies earlier they would get folded into the dump and cruise algo, but at...

Yeah. They don't have an EV1A, but that was easy to modify the EV2 tables. And I brought down the sell numbers to reflect NBCs too. Set for another test today with reserve set at 40% from 50%, but had a power outage yesterday so my test was moot.

As I pointed out above, my solar systems cycled on/off at the high and low of 98% PW SOC. They never dropped below or went above 98% during the 3+ hours of the power outage.

Just a quick observation: Today I had an unscheduled power outage just before peak at 3PM. Powerwalls (2) were at 100% and solar was being returned to the grid. There was a quick pause in power (a few none UPS devices restarted and one needed manual restart). Frequency jumped to 60.3 which was...

Their new algo, with Time Based and Export Everything, is a bit weirder than without Export Everything on. For example it totally uses my solar for the home load and exports the remainder until the point this no longer works. Then it keeps my home alive while it's starts exporting my stored...

Mine behaved this way initially but over a few days they seemed to figure out how not to drain themselves before peak was over. They still discharge at a high rate but then stop quite a while before peak ends and then "cruise" into partial peak by just running the house load. My reserve in this...

Mine has been this way for awhile. max_site_meter_power_kW: 1000000000, min_site_meter_power_kW: -1000000000, Note that it can even export higher than 10 kW if it combines current solar and the max PW export. I have seen it at 13 kW before. My PTO states 10 KW so ...

But it used to be a button on the panel. But you did have to scroll to the top of the panel to get access to it. I like the three button thing though that @Pluto mentioned.

Thanks. About the same amount of steps from using the Forums pull down. I miss the direct button on the page, but also admit you had to scroll to the top of the page to get it, so this could be better.

It appears you also removed the Mark Forums Read button which made it simple to clear the list. Now I have to select Forums and then scroll to the bottom of the pull down to mark the forums read. Can you put the button back on the forums list again or tell me where it is?

Yes. I had them leave part of my buildings roof alone. They were more than happy to comply as that part of the roof would have been a real issue (read disaster) for them to try to install their tiles on.

Just a short observation on my Export Everything test. The PWs drained slowly to my reserve (50%) at the end of peak which is great. This AM they were at 49% which is acceptable from the 10 hour time difference and temp difference. So I thought I would try to be more aggressive today and put...

Rapid test revealed that at 7PM I turned on Export Everything and it started pumping back power at 10 kw until around 7:30 when it got within 5% of my reserve. It they started scaling back the export value varying between 2.5 kW and 0 to get me to my reserve of 50% at my 9PM peak period ending...

But I don't want it to drain my batteries and then pay for grid energy during peak. That is what it was doing before. I may have to incrementally "educate" it, where I move the bar 10% each day or something.

Thanks for updating your status. I am getting closer to turning this on and letting it learn. It sounds like for the first few days I might have to give it a pseudo reserve higher than I want and then manually turn it off while it's in "learn mode". Then set my reserve to the correct level and...

Today I caught Time Based Control altering a decision in what appears to be a near term solution. In the past I have seen it go down with the ship. If it's analysis for several days indicated a strong pattern it would stick with it. Last night it was hot and we kept part of the AC running most...

You say the system is off grid. Is it also off the internet? If it is connected can you see your home draw, powerwalls and solar in the Tesla app? If you don't have the app you can still connect to the powerwalls using wifi or your installer should be able to connect directly with ethernet...

I was at one of those mass inspection events. Dozens of cars lined up and the SC personnel would check people in and then ask them to leave their fob on the dash if they left their car. Of course a few people didn't, and just wandered off. The SC personnel copied down the VIN, made a call and...

I have been on 22.9.1 for a week or so and don't notice any of this. Galaxy S10e. It does seem slower to load, especially the graphic, but otherwise OK.

I am not touching my MCU1 until bubbles appear. Functionally it's just fine. And I have no desire to enter the dreaded yellow boarder world for features I will never use and a bit zippier performance. The Tesla app still says my eMMC is a non issue so ...

That makes sense now since they are also all clumped together on black bill.

I am good with the PPP and ND items on my White Bill (non CCA) but the CTC and WF line items don't seem correct. The $0.00023 >>> OCF code and the $0.00141 >>> WH. Can you confirm these are the correct codes?
