I don't recall but is a whole house surge protection come with a powerwall / solar panel system, or is that still recommended separately at the electrical panel?

Trying to make sense of ones powerwall/solar combination is not easy, but was made easier by reading these posts. My bet, the rate plan has the largest single impact when it comes to savings or payment at yearly true-up. My thinking and approach are based upon where my greatest opportunity for...

An update with my powerwall/panel settings. My settings are at EV2-A / TBC-Balanced with reserve of 40-50% for winter rates. The month of April had nice weather with one-day of household HVAC. I had a net -$2.26 dollars sold back to PG&E and that was a first time ever with my system. The...

One final observation has been around TBC-Cost Savings which I had been part of in CY2019. The goal of the program is, "To maximize savings. Your Self-Powered score may be lower." I aggregated my Jul-Dec 2019 self-power % score and came up with an avg monthly value of 28.7% and median of...

I am at TBC-Balanced Mode set at 50% reserve with app version 1.44.3 and discharging during off-peak. It has been 3-days with consistent powerwall behavior of discharging from ~7:30am-9am during off-peak hours. Today, the powerwall discharged to 67% before flipping to recharge around 8:45am. I...

The defined behavior for TBC-Balanced Mode at version 1.44.3 (reserve set at 50%) is: the powerwall will charge from excess solar during off-peak and shoulder (if required). Powerwall will discharge during all periods, minimizing exports during shoulder and off-peak . It appears my new normal...

I am willing to ride TBC-Balanced Mode out despite some annoyances and positive benefits e.g. discharging during off-peak, a benefit I like is that is doesn't discharge during the entire period of part-peak from 3pm-4pm. The powerwall will start discharging around 3:40pm. I recently switched...

I have been following the thread with interest. I currently have my panel/powerwall set in Balanced mode, with a 50% reserve, and version 1.44.3. My PGE rates for a 24 hour cycle are: Off Peak: 12am-3pm Shoulder (partial peak): 3-4pm Peak: 4-9pm Shoulder:9-12pm Up to 48 hours ago. I was fine...
