just noticed the grid charging option, but I'm SCE NEM2, so maybe I'm missing something here regarding arbitrage. I see folks mentioning getting $14k back from selling back power (though they seem to be PG&E) It seems like SCE has it stacked against me utilizing grid charging to 'make money'...

for what it's worth, i signed back around 8/15/2020, responded to their requests immediately, fixed the roof but they didn't respond or acknowledge the roof was fixed until end of 9/2020, got SCE approval around 10/20/2020, but they didn't install until around day before Thanksgiving. Actual...

so, it's not storage capacity that's going to increase? bummer

IIRC, if you're a net producer at the end of 12 months, it's worse, since they zero out your accumulated credit and give you around 3 cents for every kWh.

Not surprising a lot of us are in Socal in a SCE thread though :D

I have a Delta M8... I think it's supposed to support up to 9.6kW DC voltage?

hmm. FWIW, Shopaholic, here's my system for your comparison Quantity: 24 Panels System Size: 8.16 kW Est. Annual Production: 12641 kWh Averaging 38kWh this whole summer...

FWIW, my 8.16kW system is averaging 38kWh daily all through summer and I'm in Southern California. I put the details of my system in this response: 8.1 kW system daily production?

I'm just a few miles north of you in Orange County... 8.16kW system generating 36kW/day in summer :(

curious... your picture seems to be showing a powerwall next to a powerwall+ and not your inverters... (well, one might be peaking through behind your gate) I'm also very jealous of your chart... mine shows a lot of those dips throughout the day because of my neighbors' trees and a chimney on...

My understanding is that SCE gives us two different accounting for solar, one billed on a monthly basis and one account balance that is settled on an annual basis. This is in no way refuting anything posted previously, just my own observation of how SCE is doing things and the way I'm...

Funny enough, as far as I can tell, other parts of the globe allow that exact scenario for powerwall. Additionally, here's what I'm finding as what I'm getting with my TOU NEM plan: Off-peak cost: 27cents/kW Peak cost: 43cents/kW selling power back to the system at any time: 7cents/kW edit...

OP here... sorry for not checking back, I didn't realize I wasn't getting alerts on posts on my thread. I did perform a few different levels of restarts that did not help the situation. But instead of waiting until 8/30 for Tesla to take a look, I did find 'MTool' for iOS that was able to...

noticed i'm on 21.20.6 as well (2xPW2 (not plus). also in California.

Spent the whole day looking into "no grid charge' mode and such... looks like there's some legislation in progress between PG&E/SCE and the state to try to allow grid-charging if you add a fancy meter that can tell you're not exporting off-peak grid power back out during peak.

Delta M8, but that's a great idea to look into...

Unfortunately the M8 reset button is behind a panel with star screws that I'm hesitant to muck with. I tried to reboot the system tonight, but the M8 went back to fault the moment I re-engaged the red switch on the bottom.

Yes, M8-TL-US... I need to find an android-capable device and see if it'll show me the fault codes and such.... alas, I only have iOS items.

My other response is awaiting moderator approval, but I'm currently stuck with a PW-only install until they fix my solar, so shouldn't that mean I should be able to do the grid-charging in the interim, to both buffer from outages and save money by using off-peak power.

I found it, on their site here: Combining Systems | Powerwall Support Obviously once they fix my panels, I shouldn't be allowed to do this, but until then, I'm operating PW-without-solar until at least 8/30, and this PW+Grid combo should take over. (if it matters, I purchased my system 'cash'...

Before they forced all solar to have powerwall (and vice-versa, I guess), the marketing material talked about charging during off-peak to use during peak. obviously that is a no-no when I have a working solar panel... but right now, my panels are down and will be down until they come for their...

The solar side of my solar+PW system died today and I'm on TOU, which is going to suck when the system is down. Tesla won't come out until 8/30, so I'm looking at 6 weeks. I changed to Advanced Time-based-control mode, but can't seem to find a way to tell the system that the solar side is...

my system just died this morning. installation was 11/2020 so I'm just at the 7 month mark. Inverter is showing red on the alert icon and yellow on the info icon. They put me on the queue to come out to look at it on August 30th. :( Up until 9am this morning, the 8.16kW system was cranking...
