Your local utility or other regulations may prevent charging from the grid and thus only be able to charge via excess solar. Or whoever installed it set it up wrong and locked out the grid charging option.
In regards to charging speed, there should be no reason to slow down its charging form what it’s capable of. The maximum speed it charges at will depend on how much solar is available and if it can pull from the grid or not.
This is all well and good if the sensors are providing accurate information to the AI/API/app. In my case (for various reasons) they are not.
I have explored the reasons, know what they are and unfortunately in my particular setting they are difficult to physically change.
So I want more direct control within the app
Why is this a crime?
It's my powerwall. I own it and paid for it. It's my house.
Every other load I have in my house, I have direct control over when to switch it on off and in some cases (like electric panel heaters, and pumps) how much load to draw. I often make these decisions based on the solar production - that I am observing myself.
Sometimes I literally go outside see if the suns out. What's the big deal? It's my site. And I know the local conditions.
So why should the powerwall be any different?
Am I expected to redesign the entire house around the powerwall?
The analogy is the 737max.
Sensors were providing the wrong information- and the computers driving the aircraft acted accordingly
Wrong sensor information > Wrong outcome.
It is entirely appropriate to hand control back to a human who may know more about individual circumstances than the robot.
That is all I am asking
Cheers
