Are any of you guys on Tesla Energy Plan?
If so have you had rates increased? It’s currently 11p plus standing charge 21p per day.
Not yet, because isn't there some restriction on you using car chargers...?

Hadn’t heard of any car charging restrictions? Personally I’m just not keen on “using up” battery cycles to the benefit of Tesla or Octopus….
I use an Immersun solar diverter for my immersion heater rather than exporting excess to the grid as well as having a SMETS2 smart meter. Nobody has said I shouldn’t and everything seems to work ok. However the Tesla Energy Plan does specifically state that you should switch such devices off If you move to the Plan.I just had a look, and you can't use Solar diverted power on Smart Chargers... so have to turn that feature off... same for Solar Water heaters... have to turn those off as well.
No, because my G99 form stated there would be no export under G100.Are any of you guys on Tesla Energy Plan?

Me too, they are great, in the summer we got free hot water most of the time. I'm looking forward to experimenting with our system this summer.I use an Immersun solar diverter for my immersion heater rather than exporting excess to the grid as well as having a SMETS2 smart meter.

A big advantage for me with the Immersun is that normally my water is heated by the oil fired central heating system but on anything but a really cloudy day the solar harvests enough energy to keep the water fully heated so I save a hell of a lot on oil as well as being paid deemed export for the electricity I use. My FIT provider is more than happy for me to stay on deemed export rather than metered export even though I have a SMETS2.Me too, they are great, in the summer we got free hot water most of the time.

I did try and get local sparky to fit an isolator switch so genny could get plugged into some ring mains but it never happened.Interested... what can/do you run off the generator?
I’d need a 350 yard extension reel to do that - he’s out of luckHaha... I've got some outdoor plug sockets scattered around the perimeter of our land. Use them for Xmas lights, hoovers, lawn mowers, jet washers, corded power tools, phone chargers etc...
But in a blackout, for an Emergency I can reel an extension cable from one of them to my Neighbour to share our Tesla Juice if needed
Mine is doing exactly the same, including the 98% charge level. Not sure why it is sitting just below 100%.Interesting thing I see with storm watch. Powerwall has isolated itself entirely. It’s been at 98% since it kicked in last night but didn’t top up on cheap rate last night and nor is it taking solar now.
It topped to 99% all from the grid in a couple of minutes and went back to bed!Mine is doing exactly the same, including the 98% charge level. Not sure why it is sitting just below 100%.

Manually controlling the backup reserve here; set to 80%. House base load is being satisfied from solar, even under the rain clouds.
My concern is that if the grid goes out with a PW2 reserve > 90% that the Gateway will curtail solar by raising the AC frequency. This will have the side-effect of switching my UPS onto battery, which won't last more than 30 minutes.
I wonder if my Powerwalls are being a bit sensitive. I’ve had 8 reported cuts of a few seconds each. One even made the cordless phone chargers cut out. We heard them come back on.
none of my immediate neighbours have suffered even flickering lights or anything
anyone had similar?
