I'm on PG&E without solar. I am getting two Tesla Powerwall 2's installed for free under SGIP Equity Resiliency program (high risk fire zone + medical baseline).
Is EV2-A rate the best rate for someone with Powerwalls without solar, so I can charge Powerwalls during off-peak hours for like 16 cents and don't pull any energy from the grid during the peak/semi-peak hours (3pm-12am)?
(I have a Model 3 so I'm eligible for EV2-A rate, but I'm currently on E-1 rate)
Also, I assumed that I won't be able to do net metering since I don't have solar (i.e., I can't charge Powerwalls during off-peak and then send any extra unused energy back to the grid during peak hours). But then I saw this from East Bay Community Energy, which says "Homeowners can also opt to share the power stored in their batteries with EBCE during times when the grid is operating normally, but there is high energy usage occurring throughout Alameda County" so maybe it is possible to send energy back to the grid even without solar?
Thanks!
