Hi all,
I’m a newbie here. Just got my Powerwall installed this week. So far so good. I have a modest solar system, 4.35 kW and one Powerwall, located on the North Carolina coast. I’m 100% self consumption (but with a grid connection), as my utility (a coop) doesn’t do net metering. I’ve got very low power costs, and my motivation is more altruistic than financial (my average power cost is under 10 cents per kWh). I’ve been reading a number of threads and have already learned a lot, thanks! I currently have my system (Powerwall running 1.17.2) set in self-powered mode with a 25% backup reserve. I may reduce that but it was a place to start. Reading the issues with delivery, I feel fortunate that my installer got me a Powerwall allocated in only 4 months after ordering (in mid-February).
Y’all don’t kick me out, now, but my EV is a Chevy Bolt
