Since we don't have TOU pricing and have full net metering, I'm planning on leaving ours essentially full. Not only does it give the most protection if there is an outage, but it avoids the efficiency loss and potential reduced lifespan that can come with using the battery.
If and when (and I do think it will happen in the next several years) our utility offers us TOU pricing, I could see changing how we use the battery.
Looks like we live in the same general area. I have TOU pricing from PEPCO. I believe that happened when I was part of a pilot program they had years ago where they installed a separate meter for my EVs. The EVs rate is about 1/3 of the rate I pay for electricity for the house. As part of the deal, I think, they put me on a TOU pricing structure.
So given that I have TOU pricing, what would suggest my reserve be for the powerwall?
