powerwall charging

[h2ofun]

Been watching how balanced mode has been working to get my PW's charged back to 100% before my 3pm peak. Without running AC, they would recharge before noon, with maybe my 3 pack going to 80%.. But now running the AC, this morning it was down to 30%, my reserve is 10%. It has enough smarts that I am watching it do some grid use of my home while it sends 100% solar to charge the battery. And then as it has gotten closer to 100%, it sends solar to house as needed, and rest to charge the PW's. Pretty smart sw.

Its before 3 and they are not charged 100%. Smart stuff!! Just wish winter would be this easy

Yea, when I'm not running my ACs the PWs fill up to 100% 3 hours before peak so every day they sit for hours fully charged which is not great for the batteries.

They have warranty. Not going to worry about anything like that, just using.

I have a question on the Powerwalls charging from solar to get back to 100%. Wondering what the lose of solar to the grid is when they are charging the Powerwalls, if my Powerwalls run the house until noon I assume they will start charging at noon and use solar to get back to full.
