Hi, not sure if this is in the right forum. I wondering if there is a way to have my Tesla start charging when my solar panels are outputting enough energy. Maybe something like IFTTT app?
I have Enphase Energy micro inverters and I can easily tell when they are generating enough power to not pull power from the grid to charge. I obviously don't charge at night, but sometimes it's cloudy for instance. In that case I would rather wait to charge during a time when all power can come from the panels.
I had solar panels up long before I got my Tesla. I would generate enough energy to power my house without any charges from the grid. Once I got the Tesla, I noticed that my electric charges had gone way up. However, by carefully selecting my charging time, I have significantly reduced my electric bill. I'm hoping to automate this scheduling.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
neal
