I have my Powerwall reserve set to 95% for the winter with a Peak start the of 6:30pm (after sunset). I think giving it a little exercise once a day is good for the health of the system without losing too much due to the inefficiency.Thanks! Do you still use allow the powerwall to discharge during on peak in the winter on E-TOU-C? The price differential is just 1-2 percentages more than the ~10% roundtrip efficiency.
I'm thinking of switching from EV2-A back to E-TOU-C as it looks like I am a net exporter either way, and I'm finding myself discharging my single powerwall more than expected in the winter due to my heat pump energy usage over 9 hours.
I'm also pretty high in the Summer, I think I was doing 85% last summer again with an earlier start of 4:00pm. That gives a higher differential to the baseline hours for the event which were skewed later in the Peak period for increased VPP compensation.
When you are a net producer/exporter the incentive picture is very different than a net consumer/importer.
