I have a 5x Powerwall-2 whole house backup with a 14.2kW PV solar panel system. I would like to charge my Model Y using only excess solar power, independent of peak or non-peak utility rates. The reason is to reduce the newly imposed "cost of transmission" charged for any power I draw from the grid. As a net producer of power, I am compensated only at the wholesale price of power, so I don't use my batteries to self-power during peak times.
I don't see the option on my Tesla app to charge only when I am exporting power to the grid. (I can limit the amount of power the Model Y uses for charging. I also limit the start and stop time for charging to correspond to peak solar production. However these settings change with the seasons, so automation seems preferable.)
Any suggestions appreciated.
