NorCal Powerwall owners. What is your reserve percentage right now? (Late October 2021)
I'm set at 60%, but I also changed my Peak to a narrower range of 5pm to 9pm. I'm on EVA-1, so my real peak is 2pm to 9pm. I reduced the Peak because my true-up was very negative when I was covering the full peak. I increased reserve to 60% during fire season and during the winter Still have...

Interesting that storm watch is activated when there are no warnings. It usually doesn't get activated on watches and advisories
It does. It should be there right below the Energy line if I remember
Odd that there is 0 kW home usage???
Widespread flood watch across central and northern California. Most places are forecast to get 6-10 inches of rain. Its gonna be ugly.

I know. The first atmospheric river of the season and very early in the season too. Hope nothing major, especially in the burn areas.
In the past Storm Watch was never triggered until advisories or watches turned to actual warnings. Maybe the learned something from the Texas situation last year and changed their criteria to include watches and advisories?
So far had gotten to 100 by 3.. today with rain, only 90 by 3 for my heaters. Next two days could be much worse, Might have to adjust or just let batteries go way down. Risky with the wind coming
Interesting, no storm watch for me today. I've turned on time based controls (been running in self powered) to get the batteries to charge. Also raised reserved artificially high. This is my first winter with a 3rd Powerwall, my plan is raise my reserves so that on a normal sunny day the batteries will be close to full.
Had an interesting event last night with an actual power outage the system didn't work as hoped for but that's going to be its own post. Still trying to gather the details.

No storm watch for me either. Good thing it was sunny enough today to fill my PWs. Currently sending excess to the grid.

Interesting that you all in central and NorCal had sun all day while we here in SoCal had overcast and light rain all day.
The storm that’s hitting you tomorrow is supposed to make its way down here on Monday. No where near the rain you’re getting, but still expecting an inch at my place. Good amount for an October storm.

We had light rain and in and out clouds yesterday. Dropped about a 1/2 of inch of rain.
Supposedly this next storm is the one that is finally taping in the Pineapple Express. It is projected to deliver 3-4 inches of rain.
Give it time. It might take a few minutes for changes to Stormwatch to actually take effect.Weird I had Stormwatch turned off and I just got the notification and my powerwalls are charging on peak hours. Toggling switch doesn’t seem to do anything, guess I can’t stop it.

Yes, after about 16 minutes.
Grid outage, Powerwall drops loads for minutes
We had a power outage yesterday. The outage happened in the early evening while the system was discharging the Powerwalls in self powered mode. The Powerwalls dropped the loads for about 16 minutes and then came back on. I've seen others report Powerwalls taking a while to pick up the load but...
