I'm on a flat rate plan and wonder if it makes any difference what I set my backup reserve to?
Before I had PTO I would set the reserve very low so that I would import as little as possible. But after I got PTO I set the backup reserve to 100% because I figured it doesn't make a difference what you set the backup to if you are on a flat rate plan. If I set my backup reserve to 20% all the excess power I produce (until I get to 100%) gets stored in my powerwalls for later use. And if I set my reserve to 100% then all the excess power I produce goes into the grid for later use. It should work out the same in the end. Right? Or am I missing something?
