    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    I received an email today from National Grid (MA). It looks like the reimbursement rate went from $225 to $275 and payment is by e-gift card. Thank you for being a part of our National Grid ConnectedSolutions battery program! We are here to remind you how the program works so you can make the...

    Are you in Storm Watch? Last year, there's was a bug where SW charged my battery, the event started and started discharging while in SW. Edited: At 5:50 my area went into a T-Storm warning. 5 minutes later Storm Watch kicked in with 1 hour left in the event.

    It has to be a warning for Storm Watch to activate. Granted by the time a tornado warning is issued, there may not be time to charge the PW. https://www.tesla.com/support/energy/powerwall/mobile-app/storm-watch Severe Weather Events Storm Watch mode is triggered only during severe weather...

    They've always prioritized charging the battery on event days. They're just being more transparent about it. This is my 4th year in the program. My 2 PW have lost capacity as they stop discharging about 1:50 into the event.

    Yesterday was a 3 hour event. I seem to recall the discharge rate was adjusted so the PW would be able to discharge over the 3 hours. I have 2 PW and at 10 kw they barely make it to 2 hours.

    MA SRECS

    Does SREC-I end after 10 years? I'm on SREC-II and it lasts for 10 years. I have a separate production meter that sends the data to MA-CEC for reporting.

    Solar install with no more room in main panel

    My panel is full. Tesla made the panel a subpanel and the gateway became the new main panel. They added another subpanel which has the solar feeds and 2 PW. Both subpanels are connect at the gateway. My entire house is backed up.

    New seasonal rate for NG customers in MA: "National Grid cuts electricity rates by nearly 40%"

    Without doing the math, it feels like NG is reversing the high increase from this winter if you use NG as your supplier. I’m on a town sponsored plan at 10.47 cents/kWh so I always benefit from selling back to the grid.

    Virtual Powerplant Payment Address Confirmation

    I just received the email addressed to Maryann which is not correct. I checked my address in the app and my street address was blank. City, State and Zip were correct. This isn't my first check. Feels like someone screwed up and lost address info.

    National Grid: ConnectedSolution no more? Or I'm misreading it

    MA (Nat Grid) used to have a winter season. I enrolled in 2020 and had 1 winter event in January 2021. Wound up with a $240 check for 1 event.

    It's the end of the season. I think they sent it to get ahead of the "where's my check" inquiries.

    I had the same issue on Tuesday. Did a chat with support and they could see the battery discharging whilen in SW. Today, event started at 4, SW kicked in at 4:34. Discharge stopped and grid charging started. Once SW ended discharging continued until 6 at 55%.

    So now the discharge event started and still in storm watch. The battery is now discharging what it pulled in for storm watch. Someone messed up the programming.

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    I'm on Connected Solutions which is a VPP on the East Coast. The old version of the Tesla app had a section for Grid Services which tracked discharge events like Home use, solar production and grid activity. When the app was "upgraded" to version 4, grid services tracking was removed. I would...

    I looked at the week prior. Same behavior. I have to assume the days where there's a gap between discharge and charge is due to it being a 3 hour event.

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    I'm seeing the same thing (Nat Grid). 5kW regardless of event duration. Going back this past week: 8/1 Monday PW discharged by 6PM. Solar immediately started charging PW 8/2 PW discharged by 5:45PM. Solar started charging at 6PM 8/3 PW discharged by 7:00PM. Solar immediately started charging...

    Is there anyway to stop a Grid Services event?

    I think the only way to stop it is to flip the gateway breaker so you go off grid. I understand why the events are always late afternoon but it's one of the drawbacks. There's not enough solar at the end of the event to charge the battery if something happens to the grid. 20% won't get me...

    Another weird one today. Was in grid services until the PWs were charged. No event took place. At 7PM the PWs started powering my house.

    Had my second discharge yesterday which worked correctly. However, this morning instead of 100% solar going to the battery, it's splitting solar to power the house. It used to divert 100% of the solar to my self powered setting of 75%.

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    The old version of the Tesla app used to show the power discharged and used by Grid Services. It went away at the end of last summer's program. I was hoping they would bring it back.

    How is solar energy prioritized in your system?

    The behavior is what happens with the Connected Solutions program. When an event is planned, the battery gets all solar production until it's charged. During this time, the entire house load comes from the grid.

    Adding Circuits to Tesla Panel?

    I have a similar panel. It's a load center that takes the feeds from solar and PW and is wired into the gateway. Mine has a label "Do Not Add New Loads". OP, is your entire house backed up or is there another panel. I'm not saying you should do it, but if parts of your house are backed up and...

    Rhode Island National Grid "Conditional Approval"?

    I’m NG in MA. I believe it means NG has approved their side of the project so Tesla can proceed. It becomes approved once you get a net meter and approval to interconnect.

    A Bit Shady?

    I have National Grid MA. When I added PW to my existing solar system in 2019, I had to sign a NG interconnection application before any work started. They need to size the transformer that supplies your house to be sure it can handle the backfeed. One of my neighbors added a solar system which...

    Storm Watch failed us again [in MA, Late July 2021]

    This has happened to me as well last year during thunderstorms. In my area, it feels like Storm Watch is being activated less this year vs. last but I'm experiencing more severe thunderstorms.

    PW's discharge rate during "Grid Services" event.

    This is my second year on Connected Solutions with National Grid. This morning I was in grid services and it locked my battery at 100% once it charged which is normal. Events usually happen at 3, 4, or 5pm. When 5pm hit, the battery went into self powered mode and didn’t discharge. I don’t know...
