    Same here.. It was after 8 and I noticed storm is coming, and I was like ... didn't we just drained the battery into grid... Opened the app and see Storm Watch is on and PW it's already at 38%

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    I think this "behavior" started last year and difference is that earlier it was showing that 100% of possible output (5kW for 1PW, 10kW for 2 PWs etc) drains to the grid. Now it shows the portion that goes to support your house. Actually, I just looked closed to these images and PW chart...

    yep, this is the correct email I was always used in a past as well. I found it utterly annoying that we going through the same scenario a year after year.

    No, not yet I think I misunderstood your question. These instructions are indeed on tesla site as I mention in my post. When you get there you .. Scroll down and tap "Compensation", Payment is next to it. I mean to say the updated app included instructions on how we should get the payment via app.

    I just updated the app and notice that option. I also emailed to ConnectedSolutions this morning. Not sure if I should wait for reply or try to setting up direct deposit via app option.

    Powerwalls now available for direct order

    Yeah, I already have 2 Powerwalls and debating if it makes sense to add another one. I should've been more clear. When we just bought a house few years ago we had a 3-days power outage and life was completely paralyzed, that's when I decided that solar alone in not sufficient. So now I just...

    Powerwalls now available for direct order

    Anyone have an idea how to analyze "Do I need this?" situation ? My current setup is 10 kW array 2 PWs. We are in MA and NGrid is provider. We don't have Time of Use rates and enjoying net metering, but who knows how long it will continue. During winter PWs never fully charged but in a...

    If anyone here would be able to help me with Grafana Dashboard installation It would be awesome. Have a few questions but don't wanna bother everyone and derailing the discussion.

    So, does it bother anyone else ...

    I have a case of LED (prob 12 or 16) I bought from HD that failed in less than a year too. I might try to do the same because it was not cheapest and I was pretty disappointed how quickly they failed.
  16. solarAddict

    So, does it bother anyone else ...

    Well we have 16 LED bulbs in a kitchen/eating space so I prefer to have these off if nobody is there, especially when house is running off PWs. Looking forward to get my smart switches. I have Sense monitor installed so I bought switches that could be paired with it (could be controlled with the...

    I gave up and ordered bunch of smart switches for locations with higher load and probability of light left ON (kitchen, dining etc).

    National Grid: ConnectedSolution no more? Or I'm misreading it

    Just got the email saying "... on 9/31 dispatch season ended". Is this end of season email or something else? I don't remember getting this last year.

    When the ACTUAL cybertruck pricing is released…,

    Well if Ford increased EV prices on 8k 'just like that" I would not be surprised 15k increase.

    Wiring question: adding more panels to existing setup

    Wiring question: adding more panels to existing setup

    My setup has consist of several blocks of panels that produce during different time of the day. I have some roof space that was not used as I maxed out my budget. I know it's not super optimal, but I see that I'm loosing some morning hours even during spring/fall months and of course daytime...

    What inverters do you have?

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    Can someone educate me on calculating "Powerwall Discharge" numbers and what we are getting actually paid for? Are we getting paid based on what PW "discharge to grid" or just "discharge" during the event? For instance one day during event some of energy discharged by PW went to support house...

    How did you get to this screen? What version of app you have and what platform: iOS/Android ? I don't see in in my app on iOS. BTW, my system in Sef-Powered mode and it does not affect output during "events".

    Im pretty sure that the banner goes away BEFORE the PWS are fully charged. I forgot to check after 9 am but later I saw 95% and no banner. Wonder if there is a place where you can send app feedback or suggestions. The app is underwhelming at least .

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    It looks like we have some variations of this behavior this year. What you describe is how system was working last year - on event days. What I described above was happening today ( not an event day). What confuse me personally - for 2 times already I saw the "Grid Services" banner early in...

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    After reading this I checked my setup and Im seeing the same thing, even after I bumped up reserve to 100%. Really strange. EDIT. It’s probably because I left the system in self-powered mode. The description says “ charge PV with excess power during the day”…
  42. solarAddict

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    That strange. We had overcast at the end of the day so solar was barely producing before 6 pm and not producing later. PW was supporting house (~ 1kW) and pushing rest to the grid (~9 kW) when I checked before 7 pm. My app version is 22.18.3 build 21c0ad81.
  43. solarAddict

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    Well, guess what. We had an event 5-7pm. How come they show notification, then remove it, then still run the event???

    I'm curious if the fact that 57% of this discharge went to support your own house would affect how NG calculates payoff.
