If you can enroll your battery in one of the VPP programs, you get a much better ROI even with net metering at a high payback, mine is 1:1. In my case in Mass with Eversource I get over $2500/yr back for my 3 powerwalls on the Connected Solutions program. Also under the SMART (srec replacement...

+1 on the label and forecast icon Looks like your app knows better about the eclipse better than the estimated power. Somehow I don't actually expect he maximum generation during the eclipse :) t t

When it stopped working for me the other day I tried to set it up again once and it couldn’t log in. Now I can’t set it up again. That explains why. I really liked the integration with Netzero, viewing the various loads stacked up is much more interesting than the views available in the emporia...

The emporia data is not working today on netzero on my iPhone. The emporia app is working fine though.

last years payout for me was $2123 vs $2770 this year

It doesn't matter if the power from the powerwalls goes to the grid or to your house, you get credit for the discharge. The main limiting things are if your powerwalls are not full at the start of the event, or if you don't participate due to stormwatch or if you opt out.

I am on eversource in bedford ma and got my payment direct deposited today. I received an email and an app notification that the payment was available thursday night. I added my bank info friday morning. I got $2770 for 3 powerwalls participating in all events for the summer. The payment history...

I'm on 2022.8.10.17 with MCU1 AP2, and the only change I've noticed is the larger "warning" text size.

Me too. Are you on Eversource or National Grid? I'm on Eversource. I still don't see any option in the app to set up payment or to see the balance. Do you?

What version of the app do you have and is it Android or IOS?

no payment yet and nothing in the app either.

works fine for me

SMART adds a generation meter which the utility directly reads. This is used to capture how much power you've generated. The price rate for generation in SMART consists of two parts, the normal generation amount (which may be down to or close to 0 now) and a storage adder which is probably...

The configured, but not connected message is not accurate. Mine says that about my wired connection, even though the connection is working properly.

I'm on the same version (23.12.10 30f95d0b) and it says "Configured, but not connected. Check the ethernet cable connection". It however shows the checkmark next to ethernet saying it is using that interface. Also, my network shows that as active. I think it is a bug in the summary screen in...

I have 3 powerwalls and the events take 30kWh at either a 10kW rate for 3 hours or more often a 15kW rate for 2 hours. I have a 10kWac solar system and can generally recharge the powerwalls the next day before another event can start. with your 8kW, you might have trouble getting more than 3...

It looks like this year they are pulling the max amount for two of the three hours of the events I’ve seen. Last year they were pulling at a slower rate for the full three hours. In any case, with my 3 powerwalls they take a total of 30kWh per event, either as 15kW for 2 hours or 10kW for 3...

New email from Tesla today As a member of Tesla’s Virtual Power Plant (VPP) through ConnectedSolutions, your Powerwall will periodically contribute clean energy to the grid. To prepare your Powerwall for the 2023 season, your local utility will be performing a test event on Friday, June 23...

what did you use to generate the plot? I downloaded your script to get the data and it works great :)

Got mine on Feb 6

got my check from Tesla on Monday.

3PW eversource eastern MA $2124. Last year was $2116.

You just need to ask Tesla to enable it. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/downside-to-solaredge-monitoring-request.216514/post-5428386

Haven't had time to do the teardown. Too much going on.

Drove by here this morning at 9:45, all stations were full. Didn't take long for this to be a busy site.

I think of this a bit differently. The purpose from an environmental perspective is to let the power company not have to purchase peak power during the times that they drain our battery. By letting them drain your battery during peak hot weather usage, and focusing on charging batteries off peak...

Is your AC greater than 10kW, they use the AC value not the DC value

You can read about my Eversource timeline here. There was some delay in getting the meter installed due to tesla not getting all the right paperwork to my town. Once Tesla notified Eversource that the town final inspection was complete, they got the net meters installed in a few days. PTO took...

So your AC is 11.6 which implies a 7.6 + another 4 of inverter. What they tell the power company affects what net metering plan you get. An inverter up to 10kW AC gets 1:1 but bigger inverters uses a more complicated and less lucrative formula. If they applied for SMART with 11.6 kW AC but gave...

Just out of curiosity what DC wattage did they put on your SMART application?

I've been having almost daily full rate discharge events (5kW/powerwall) for usually 2 hours but there was at least one 1hr event which happened on a day that wasn't really sunny enough to fully charge the powerwalls. YMMV

Sitting in my S at a V2 SC yesterday, happily getting 110kW and having a Y plug in the last open station (and paired with mine) watching my rate immediately drop to 75kW, I was really missing V3 behavior. The Y user thought the station was broken since it was charging “so slow”. I decided to...

I’m on Eversource in Bedford, 2 hours each day this week for me too.

For what it’s worth, these two hour events at a higher discharge rate will pay better than the 3 hour events at a lower rate that were typical last summer. For my 3 PWs, last year was almost entirely 10 kW events vs the recent 15kW events.

2 hour 15kW discharge for me today too. looks fixed. Fingers crossed.

I had an event today as well with it only discharging what my house was using. I hope they fix this, would hate the incentive to be ruined. I just noticed that my gateway has new firmware 22.18.3, perhaps that is the cause of this latest problem.

So tonight I had another occurrence from 5 to 7pm my powerwalls discharged at my usage rate. I have my system set at 100% reserve since I have 1:1 net metering and This would not normally happen.

I’m on eversource

Here is my discharge today. Let’s hope it goes back to the previous behavior with larger discharges.it ended up about 1/2 what last years discharges.

This discharge looks very different from previous ones. The discharge seems to be tracking my house usage. Previously the discharge rate with my 3 powerwalls was a flat 10KW for 3 hour events. Occasionally it would do 15KW for 2 hours, but that was rare. Tracking my house usage is not nearly as...

An event started for me today 7/1/22 at 4pm. I expect it to go for 3 hours as usual.

I expect that there might be an event tomorrow on Eversource for me here in MA. I received a notification that they are requesting to limit my chargepoint evse tomorrow afternoon. This often (but not always) corresponds to a ConnectedSolutions discharge event. I'll post again tomorrow. I also...

Haven't had any events here on Eversource in Bedford MA. I will post when we get the first one.

I drove by this morning. It seems that the cabinets have arrived on scene.

Here is what my last week looked like.

I’m in the Boston area too. I have a 36 panel, 12.24dc/10kwAc system. Tesla put in a solaredge inverter for my system. Here is a plot from a recent sunny day. There is some clipping this time of year for an hour or two, even with the 10kW inverter Tesla estimated I’d get 11.2MWh/year and last...

My app does not look like @jjn_’s. Not virtual power plant. iOS app, Eversource utility

my system has been enrolled in connectedsolutions and have been participating and Getting paid. There is no indication of virtual power plant in app 4.7.1 on my iPhone. I wouldn’t worry about that not showing up in the app. I am on Eversource.
