    Powerwall uploads to grid, ignoring my Reserve setting and despite "Self-Powered" mode

    Sorry, I put the wrong link, it's: PCE FAQ. I am not sure what the exact definition of "VPP" is, b, but it is definitely an aggregation program, not just a referral (I assumed the same when I got the $500 gift card in the mail and happily spent it). "At times when your CCA has identified that...

    Powerwall uploads to grid, ignoring my Reserve setting and despite "Self-Powered" mode

    I have now learned that I am in fact enrolled in a VPP (http://sunrun.com/pce). My installer, Sunrun, sent me an email in July that said "Unless you choose to opt-out, Sunrun hereby acknowledges your consent to participate in the Power On Peninsula Program." I think that email went to my Spam...

    Powerwall uploads to grid, ignoring my Reserve setting and despite "Self-Powered" mode

    The best I've found is checking the app every few minutes and changing the "Energy Exports" setting to "Solar". That stops it. It flips back on its own every once in a while, so I have to keep checking it. Other people have said they turn the battery off during those hours. Please call Support...

    Powerwall uploads to grid, ignoring my Reserve setting and despite "Self-Powered" mode

    Yes, my latest call with support confirms that from their end it looks like my Powerwall is cycling between "Self Powered" mode and some kind of VPP mode, multiple times a day. I haven't signed up for a VPP. You would think that they would be able to tell on their end if I'm registered for one...

    Powerwall uploads to grid, ignoring my Reserve setting and despite "Self-Powered" mode

    Maybe. Although the app on my phone shows that the "Energy Exports" is gettin g reset to "Everything", but it stays on "Self-powered" mode. If it's resetting to time-based control, it's not reflecting that in the Settings. And, even in "Time-based" with "Everything", it should still respect my...

    Powerwall uploads to grid, ignoring my Reserve setting and despite "Self-Powered" mode

    I've had the Powerwall (in California USA) for almost a year, but and this behavior is new in the last few weeks. At around 5pm, it starts uploading to the grid as fast as it can, until it gets down to 20%; then it stops. I'm in "Self-Powered" mode, so I don't think it should be uploading at...
