Wow, this is great analysis! Much appreciated. I will login into pge.com and play with their calculators. Cheers!

Thanks!!

Thanks! Sounds like a lot of work, lol. Appreciate your post. I know you help a lot of folks here. Happy holidays!!

True up pic

Hi Folks, I’ll paste my true up bill below. Wondering what else I can tweak to improve next year. Overall I’m ok with the roughly $300 true up/overage. 1. Should I change my rate plan? I dunno. Would like to get some input from the experts. No electric car yet. Perhaps in 2023 when my...

Thanks folks. Great discussion. I just referred my neighbor here as he starts his Tesla journey.

Nope no powerwalls. I feel like I'm being scammed, just cos it's so damn confusing lol. I'll come up to my first full year in Dec. We'll see whether I have any idea what I paid vs. What I should have paid!

Thx!

Just got notification of NEM changes here: Ebc.org/nem 1. Anyone else get this and have an opinion? Good/bad? 2. Do I have choices I should consider? Thanks! Only thing more confusing than my electric bill is the US tax code ;)

Understood thanks. What was throwing me off was it showed this same number when I flicked thru past days. I now understand it's a live number for right now, regardless what day your on...

Thanks. I have an app issue I think. I now see the same output value at 2.5kw. For today, attached below, and all previous days...

Screenshot attached

Sorry, this is a dumb question. I see 4kw as my 'output' in my app. Just noticed this is every day. Good solar, or bad solar days. If this represents my total output, shouldn't it read 5.1kw? I have a 5.1kw system, 15 panels.

I asked about escalation and compensation. I believe I was told, if there is more than 6 months after you signed contract and install date or pto date? than they will offer $ comp. I was well within that so I didn't delve further. Good luck to anyone whose project is approaching or exceeding 6...

Great idea. Thanks

Happened again. Screenshot for today below. I guess I need to look at solaredge online (not app) to find out what happened at 10am? Perhaps just an app glitch??

Thanks. Didn't see this real time. I'll see if it happens again soon and post here. Cheers

Sorry for the headline, but take a look at my spike at 10am to 5.3kwh and crash to 0kwh about 45 mins later. 5.1kw system, 3800 solaredge inverter. What went on here? Thanks

Thanks for the responses! I guess I'll wait it out with the current plan. Likely not much difference as mentioned above

I'm confused as to whether the plan I got moved to is good (you 4-9pm) I dont even know what my options are. Got solar, but no pw or ev, if that matters. I'm easily confused, but pge doesn't make this easy on us either. Any thoughts? Nor Cal bay area if it makes a difference. Thanks!

Sorry for any confusion, I don't have powerwalls. Considered it...

Thanks. I do like the annual nature of nem2 balancing peaks & troughs

Electric heating in our sunroom...Kids! Gas heating in the main part of the house. Yes, thankfully this will decrease in the summer...when we crank up the AC ;)

Thanks

Had no idea what block 50 meant. Thanks, makes sense given the hospital around the corner. What are PSPS and CAISO?

7436 KWh was the Tesla estimate. I used around 7000 KWh last year, I think..

Energy conservation is hard ;) wife likes it at 72F and were home all day! The gas part of my bill was $100 this month! I have a 5.1kw system, 15 panels. Sized with some compares/estimates from other solar companies. Plus limited good roof space left. Really only north facing space left. Fingers...

Gonna be interesting how my 12 month journey pans out. Mentally prepared for a big bill next Dec!

Thanks Ampster! Duh, makes sense. The delta would be what I used directly from solar production. Roughly my total generation was 300KWH between Dec 11 and Jan 11. I must have used around 170kwh, leading to the net amout going back to pge, around 130KWH. Looking forward to much higher...

Hope this is simply explained. In my NEM bill stmt for Dec 11th thru Jan 11th, below, shows I got credit for 129.67KWh (net generation). However, my Tesla report for Dec shows I generated at least 222KWh (not incl generation for 11 days in Jan!). What am I missing? Why does it seem I'm not...

And here is my layout

Snapshot i just took. 12:35pm here.

Cool. Will check that out. Thanks!

Duh! Thank you!

Just got access and trying to diagnose my system. Snapshot attached. 1. Why would it say 6.1kw system, when I have 5.1kw/15 panel system? 2. Seems i have 3 underperforming panels (at this time). Likely 3 NW facing panels. Will take a snapshot later in the afternoon to check/compare. 3...

Thank you Charles. Happy new year!!

As a side question, I don't think I have any good space left on my roof for additional panels. Would you agree? Seems mostly north facing roof space left imo...

Thanks Charles. Much appreciated! I don't know the roof pitch. But it is not steep lol. I'll keep an eye on the max values and hopefully see them creep up next few months. Your explanation of 3 diff bell curves coming together makes sense. Cheers!

Hey Charles, I went back to yday and the flat top maxes out at 2.7kw, when I move the cursor over. Full day screenshot for yday attached. I dont know the wattage of the panels. Any idea where I can find that? The layout/direction of the panel layout is in my last post I think. Assuming Tesla...

Here's the layout, attached

5.1kw system. 15 panels

Starting a new thread so I don't muddy the 'shortest day of the year thread. Attached is my production today. Ad mentioned by others it seems I am getting 'clipped' at around 2.6 or 2.7 kw at midday. Does this mean I have an inverter issue? Inverter model # SE3800H. Thanks!

Awesome. Thank you MorrisonHiker!

Thanks. I can't seem to edit/remove the pics. I thought i was careful not to capture anything personal. Maybe a moderator can help me?

Hey Charles, thanks all the info! I've attached a few pics. One of the inverter, SE3800H, second one has my panel locations. 3rd is a snapshot of my nem agreement. Cheers!

I guess I have shading on the south facing panels which are on the lower level roof. Not sure! How do I recognize clipping and what is that? Sorry, I'm a newbie. Thx!

Grrr. I'm in the opp situation. Just bill me Tesla goddammit. Reading other posts, I really want to get payment completed this year. Any advice? I can't see invoice/billing anywhere in my account...

Good thread! My Monday numbers below. Hoping to get a lot more next year from my 5.1kw system.

Just read thru this thread. I just got pto last week and don't have consumption data in the app. Screenshot attached. What should I do to try and get this resolved? I'm in the sf bay area/fremont if that matters. Thank you!
