    help with powerwall - time of use working properly via tesla app.

    I can't for the life of me figure out why Tesla cant just use simple logic for a simple Peak power plan. Is it off peak time? If yes, use grid until batteries are full, then send excess to grid. Is it on peak? If yes, use solar to power house. Is solar sufficient? if no, then augment with...

    Question for SRP customers in the Phoenix metro that have solar and Powerwall

    I guess it is just too hard for Tesla to come up with something that just uses time. The app is always trying to do something "smart" and creative instead of just avoiding any use during the peaks. I may try to switch to self powered and monitor it, but I really do not want to pay the crazy...

    Question for SRP customers in the Phoenix metro that have solar and Powerwall

    I need to NEVER use any power during the SRP peaks. I do not know how the self power mode works, but I think it could draw power during a peak after the sun is low enough where solar no longer produces enough to run the house. I would like to just set a timed schedule that has the house run on...

    Question for SRP customers in the Phoenix metro that have solar and Powerwall

    Hey all- I have had solar and Powerwall for about 4 years now and have SRP as my energy provider. I have an issue that I cant seem to solve. Right now, my Powerwall runs the entire house during the "Peak" hours and exports all of the solar I generate back to the grid. I do not feel that this...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    Has anyone with SRP done the two peaks yet? I was on the phone again with Tesla today and was told that it went live. While I had them on the phone, I went to change it to two peaks and was disappointed to not find SRP listed, only APS, and that it seemed to want electric rates given so it...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    I called Tesla about another issue. Apparently the new software has a button to add another peak, but it requires a firmware update that they have not done yet, and then the need to do something to make it go live. I was told two peaks should be up before the end of the year. Fingers crossed...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    So I guess Tesla has updated the Powerwall app. I have not had a chance to load it, but what are the odds that they now have two peak times for us on SRP TOU plans? Also, anyone want to guess if they got rid of the "smart" features on the time based usage and just have it follow the set times...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    It is funny (not) that the Tesla people do not seem to know how this app works. The level one folks you get on the phone told me that the way I thought it should be working is how it is supposed to be working. I HATE the "smartness" of this software. I simply want it to run the house during...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    Hopefully someone with SRP as their utility can help me out here. We are on summer rates now, and the peak shifted from the winter 5-9's to a single afternoon 2-8. I have my advanced time control set up with peak from 2-8 and off peak from 8 PM to 2 PM. I have no shoulder set. The powerwall...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    I saw that. I ended up turning off storm watch so that I did not end up with a demand fee if it happened again and the walls were not full.

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    My 2 Powerwalls went in today with no issues. Installation was fairly straight forward and the workmanship was great. Now I need an inspection from Maricopa County and the commissioning by SRP to begin using them.

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    Thanks for the info gpez. Funny that I needed to talk with Tesla today about some paperwork and had a different employee tell me that the batteries do charge from the grid. I find it disconcerting that I have had two instances now where I was told completely opposite things depending on who I...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    Hey all, I am in the process of getting two Powerwalls installed. In speaking with someone at Tesla about the system, I was somewhat surprised at something I was told. I was told that because I have solar, the Powerwall would not be able to be charged from the grid other than in a declared...
