Hi everyone, I have solar tiles and 2 power walls in sunny (and sometimes smokey) California. As of mid April I have been--according to the Tesla app--100% self powered, however I am receiving non-trivial energy import readings from my electric company:
April: 42kWh
May: 46kWh
June: 82kWh
July: 64kWh
At the same time I'm exporting ~200kWh per month, in addition to powering my house and charging my cars. I am aware that I could be draining the battery below reserve and requiring grid input but I have been quite careful about timing of energy use and have not seen a single incident of this.
Is the app lying? Is the utility company lying? There are no other taps into our electricity that could go around the power walls so I'm baffled. I have opened a case with my electric company to see what's going on, but would love to hear from others if "100% self powered" is an aspiration or factual reporting from the app.
