A friend said that he cant find free night plans from greenmountain energy anymore so i looked and couldn’t find the plans. Did they stop offering it?

Thanks for the update. I installed the app and have a few question/request 1) When logged in with Tesla credential, it asked permission for 3 things one of them is user profile (name/contact/referral/etc). Why do you need this info? I unselect this so will it affect the functionalities of the...

Just installed the app on my iphone. The screen greets me with Signin with Tesla/Enphase and below that "Your username and password are only shared with with your solar provider". There is an extra with in there.

what app you guys are using for Apple watch?

Edit to say I used 4800 Kwh last 30 days and only 90 Kwh of those are paying. With the $50 referral credit, I have not paid yet and hoping to stay that way or pay a minimum fee each month.

It ends at 6am. Most plans are 9-7 but this plan is 8-6am. I think it's better because I get to use grid free sooner in case solar generation is low. 50% is for one of my gateway with 2 PWs. I have 2 other gateways, each with 2 PWs as well. Remember I have 3 gateways and 6 PWs. I'm hoping we can...

I am with Green Mountain free night plan. It starts at 8pm.

How are you guys doing in this weather? I am already at 50% and looks like i am pulling from grid later.

Are you 3 batteries full now?

Wait. The total should be 17K something?

On some days i wish i have 9. Congrats on getting 2 more. I hope this should last you the whole day.

Samething here. I guess some glitch with their email.

If not, we can just self-powered when batteries are full. At last, happy to see the sun out and no longer have to watch batteries draining too quickly.

My batteries are 100% at 10am and sending to grid for free. What a strange feeling.

Maybe I'm a big fish? My first bill with them, I used 3300 KW where 80Kwh is during daytime and generated 1600 KWH solar credit but they only credited me 40Kwh. Second bill, used 4600 Kwh and only 60 kwh during daytime and generated 1900 Kwh but they credit me only 40Kwh. Disputed, disputed...

I haven't seen anyone with Tesla Electric plan who has a zero or negative bills each month. If they come out with a free night plan, maybe it's time to join.

If you download SMT data in the 15 min format, and put in excel, you can sum all usage from 9PM to 7AM for the whole billing cycle. That should give you free night usage. If your billing data doesn't match SMT and in your favor, then good for you. If they start to go the other direction, you may...

Glad to hear i am not the only one seeing these messy billing issues. We all use smart meter these days so we can track our data up to 15min intervals. And for them to have the guts to tell us that our billing is correct when the data from Smart Meter Texas says otherwise. When you complain...

Now that I see this, yes, they are good with your consumption data where you pay but not very good with your energy generation data where you get credits. And when they start to see you use large amount of energy during free night, suddenly, your meter has issue and no longer compatible with...

Sounds like you need to get another PW. These things and these plans work beautifully until they don't. Ask me how I know. I'm still fighting with Amigo over the remaining $2,600 bill they want me to pay for their BS. On the subject of the 1/15 freeze, I pulled 47 Kwh from the grid...

It's not yet 3PM and one of my systems is down to 38%. It means they discharged 16.7 Kwh since 6AM this morning. It's getting harder and harder to go off grid with this weather.

@dc81 @DrewHou It's a worrisome sights. It seems they share the same billing departments. All the data is provided to them electronically by CenterPoint so there is zero reason they have any wrong data at all. A lot of people speculate that their billing is done manually via a spreadsheet or...

Yeah, the game is try to get a zero bill each month. If you have to pay, then no mater how much you generate and build the credits, it does not give you back money so the best outcome is zero or as low as possible bill each month.

I see you both using Just Energy which is same as Amigo. I guess their billing department is just as messy as Amigo. Watch your bills carefully guys. Check the data with Smart Meter Texas which mirror the info that your meter sends to CenterPoint and report to all retail energy providers.

Looks like today going to be another day of watching the app and praying for pws to last till free night starts.

Are you there yet? :) What is the % now?

Cutting very close for me. at 2% at 8pm. Phewww. I wish I have @DrewHou span system to know which circuit is using most for that particular panel. The other 2 panels are well in the 20% and 30%.

I wish I can get 3 more so each system has 3. This way, I may be able to run in self-powered or offgrid mode. In the summer, the AC is killing the battery. With the whole drama with my Amigo experience, I'm pissed that I have no way to get credit for the solar generation. I hope some other...

You are breaking the contract to go back to TE? How is everyone battery doing? One of my systems is 13% now. Trying to see how long it will last until 0.

When will your Just Energy contract end? You can build lots of credits with them but you can't cash out. So, best free plan there is. I still don't know if TE plan will work for me. They have no free night plan which does not work for me since 90% of my usage is shifted to night.

I filed in April so it wasn't issue. I think the form is ready in Feb or something.

Claimed it last year. It helped a big deal in reducing my tax bill.

Are you still using Tesla Electric plan? Showing it in your profile.

I appreciate the insulation we put into this house, in addition to the very efficient heatpump AC we use for the house. It's maintained at 69-70F in this big house with no heating running. During the free, the AC was able to generate heat for the whole house when it's 20F outside.

This is the way. I'm filling back up at 8pm. My 3 systems are at 27% lowest, 37% and 54% but loads ranging from 2.8 kw, 1.1 kw and 1.9 kw respectively. I think I should be able to go all the way to 8pm on days like this. Living through this winter gives me some idea on how the system performs...

I had a brief 5 min outage at 1 am today. Did not notice until i check. Had a 170 kwh generation yesterday the best one so far this year. Looks like we have a few more sunny days ahead of us.

The sun is coming out today and my batteries are filling up. Woohoo.

ERCOT just emailed to request energy conservation tomorrow.

Just bump up my reserve level to 80% on my system so it's filling up now. I'm rather safe than sorry.

Here is real time consumption/generation from ERCOT https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards They predict at 8AM tomorrow we will have a shortfall in generation causing a blackout.

One system is at 62%, one is at 42% and another one is at 70%. All generated 7 Kwh in total. As I have no credit yet, I think today and tomorrow I will have some net consumption. Will refill my PWs at 8pm today and preheat the house over night so it does not need to use too much power tomorrow.

Did Tesla have a new version of the yoke that not peeling anymore? I got the my yoke in my 2022 X and when I scheduled service last Sep they told me to hold off until new version come our in Nov.

That's my understanding as well. It's very misleading.

Got my service switched to GME a few days ago. I was wrong. They don't give you buy back credit when you are on free night plans. It seems Amigo/Just Energy/Tara are the only ones with that but I rather not using them and forgo my credits I built there to avoid all the billing issues they caused me.

Found a current GM member and used his code to sign up. We will see how my experience will fare.

Does anyone has a Green Mountain referral code?

Here is the Terms of services for people on the AllNighter24 with buy back plan. Notice the maximum system they allow is 50 Kw rated output. They did not specify the rate where they will buy back. I assume it's 3 cents. https://signup.greenmountainenergy.com/files/0901751883337ece.pdf

I may look into this. First glance from my phone shows free night from 8pm to 6pm. I couldnt find any buy back info there yet. My plan with Direct Energy will not start until the 8th and they only have free from 9pm to 9am. No buy back. I went to their website, entered the zipcode and found the...

I don't think TE will work for me. For example, total usage is 5000Kwh a month with 95% of those during night time. Selling back 1000 - 2000 Kwh a month. 2 EV. I will end up paying a bill each month, no mater the numbers.
