    SCE: TOU-D 4-9pm or TOU-D Prime

    I don't understand. How do I pay the 2.89 now? And why? It is not asking me to. OK I figured it out! So where will those charges go in the next month? Will I pay them monthly, or will they roll over?

    SCE: TOU-D 4-9pm or TOU-D Prime

    Yes, the first 5 pages was Aug 1 to Aug 22, then this for the 8 days following PTO.

    SCE: TOU-D 4-9pm or TOU-D Prime

    OK I got my first bill, for only 8 days, due to PTO being received on Aug 23 and billing cycle ending Aug 30. I have this: And this: So, is because the first page the positive charges are +2.89 and the second page they at +2.93 they use the second page as it is the higher of the two numbers?

    SCE: TOU-D 4-9pm or TOU-D Prime

    Currently we are using about .3 KW from the grid per day, spread in little 0.02 increments at all different time periods. Not even sure why that is happening. In June if we had PTO I estimate we would have sent 750 kW to grid and in July 400kW. I am still having a little trouble visualizing what...

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    So if last year I used 10 KW from 4 to 9 pm and this year I use non, because I am running on battery, I should get 20 dollars? What about subsequent years when my year over year is 0/0?

    SCE: TOU-D 4-9pm or TOU-D Prime

    I don't understand this. I expect to be a net producer. Are you saying I will have to pay 0.07228 per kWh for electricity sent to grid, but then only get whole sale rates of about 0.03 back? So I am going to pay SCE about 0.04/kWh to send them electricity? Why would I not just turn it off?

    SCE: TOU-D 4-9pm or TOU-D Prime

    I am pre PTO, SCE tiered rate plan. 10.54 KW with 3 powerwalls. July was my first full month of being up. This is my bill. Based on above I feel like I am going to pay more post PTO on any of the TOU plans, but unsure. Delivery charges Basic charge 32 days x $0.03100 $0.99 Energy-Summer Tier 1...

    Discussion: How to get status information from your Powerwalls

    Thank you! The script is working now, however when I select get battery data, it asks for battery ID, How do I get that?

    Discussion: How to get status information from your Powerwalls

    Yes, that link is not working. I will try the iOS app, must get an apple family member to cooperate. :-)

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    I understand the benefit to the grid and to the environment, but the state of California and SCE gave me nothing, and after federal tax credit, my system is costing 30K. (In fact a good chunk of that is state sales tax!) I am already struggling to make a 8-9 year payback work. So if...

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    The main issue I see here is that Tesla assumes people only want their battery to carry them through 9 pm. I don't. I want my battery to last until ~7:30 am when solar kicks in. I want to avoid all NBC's. If you want me to sell back power from 4 to 9 and I don't now have enough charge to carry...

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    I thought if, at the end of year, you were a net producer, you just get paid a very low, flat rate. (SCE)

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    If I expect to be a net producer at year end and my batter y is usually charged up by noonish if only I use it overnight, what is the advantage to me to store and then sell back just 86% of the power I generated from 4-9 pm when I can sell back 100% directly from noon to 4 pm?

    Tesla inconsistency and timelines for PTO...

    SCE. I signed the Interconnect agreement back when I ordered. I can't call Tesla because my project manager extension is gone from the page and I can't get past the auto attendant without it.

    Tesla inconsistency and timelines for PTO...

    Is there any easy way to tell if they have submitted the app for PTO? I paid on June 28 and my account page hasn't changed in status. Still has a link to the invoice and next step as "we are in process of obtaining PTO from your utility provider"

    I need help deciphering Tesla diagrams

    I had paint on hand from a previous project. Not sure what they would have done if not. They said it would be easy to add EV later?

    I need help deciphering Tesla diagrams

    We are up and running. They left everything turned on, so we have not purchased any electricity from the grid in 5 days. Hoping inspection and PTO goes smoothly. They are supposed to be sending a guy to reinstall our rain gutter downspout.

    Yes, sorry I think I did not update, when I finally got someone on the phone, and discussed the current design they said a whole house backup would be a redesign and I should be getting revised schematics.

    Install scheduled for June 7 and my redesign isn't done yet. When do I panic?

    I need help deciphering Tesla diagrams

    We use a ridiculous amount of electricity, we both work at home and we like our ac. Since most of our panels face east I am hoping they will charge up in the morning.

    Yes, we have gas water heater, clothes dryer, furnace, kitchen oven, and kitchen cooktop. We may add a vehicle charger in the future.

    I need help deciphering Tesla diagrams

    I am wondering how much time exactly I should put in to trying to decipher this. (I have a hard science degree and want to take it all in but also want to trust Tesla knows what they are doing)

    I need help deciphering Tesla diagrams

    Thanks! I had the a/c replaced just so it would be compatible so that is good to hear. Tesla actually recommended a few more solar panels but that is all the roof would accommodate.

    I need help deciphering Tesla diagrams

    I can't tell if they currently have me set up for whole home house backup or if my a/c is excluded? Can anyone decipher this for me?
