I wonder if this charge is a new thing because, as I said earlier, it wan't mentioned when we signed up for our solar upgrade and Powerwall in August 2020?
Does anybody have any pre 2021 experience with this?
As we're an all electric house with 8kW of solar, our issue is that when we're heating water it can draw from the grid even when we have sufficient battery. I'm not sure how this will pan out in the long run as we've only had the Powerwall since November, and I would expect in the summer that we'll have ample power and it won't be an issue, but as others have said, it a lot of cost to recover in potential savings. Almost 4000kWh at our current rate.
