12.24 kW array, but all east facing panels so I'm peaking hahastop posting screenshots of producing almost 8kW this early in the day .. ur causing deep envy
yea ... i hate you all
I feel your pain… wished I did my research and went with 14KWh and at least 3xPWsyea ... i hate you all
ppl like you causing us poor folks w/ only 2 pw and 8kw pv systems to have to pay huge electric bills ... wait .. yea sure let see two "bad guys" .. high bills .. yea that makes sense
Did anyone also notice that - impact isn’t reporting value anymore?
yes in hindsight 3 pw would have fit perfect on wall and a loaded roof of pv panels would have been awesome ... but could be worse we could be saying "i wish i would have bought that tesla system last year before prices went up / nem maybe changed / e rates up"I feel your pain… wished I did my research and went with 14KWh and at least 3xPWs
Curious, why not use TOU? Unless you are a net producer, I’d imagine TOU would be more beneficial to keep your bill closer to zero.Just about 9/10 days ago, I hit the (for me anyway) Magical moment in the year where, on a "normal, sunny day" my PV production covers my daily house usage in its entirety.
From "sometime in mid feb to beginning of march" till " sometime around the middle to the end of october" on sunny days, I generate at least as much energy as I use, and with the 2 powerwalls I have, that means that, should I choose to do so, I can go the entire 24 hour period with no grid draw.
Since I still use self powered mode, that means that this "sometime in mid feb" period is one I mentally sort of internally celebrate, as it marks the point in the year that, I pretty much stop drawing from the electrical grid, unless there are a couple of cloudy days in a row or something.
I do get a bit jealous of @h2ofun 's "mini utility" setup, though

OK. But isn't your buy back on the tiered system too? So to get really great buy back pricing you have to be in Tier 3?So, the very best plan someone with solar could be on, basically, but I use the powerwalls as well to keep myself mostly off the electrical grid.

There must be some magical formula based on your extra energy that would indicate the exact tier you should operate in each month.
Ah makes sense. Boy I wish I had NEM1, those NBCs really add up.Because I am still on NEM 1 and tiered rates. In other words, I am still on the very best plan I could possibly be on, with almost no "non bypassable charges", no TOU 4-9 peak period, etc. I have 3 electrical tiers, and the more I use the higher the teir goes. I am incentivized to use as little from the grid on a monthly basis as possible, but when I use it does not matter.

On a yearly basis, I am pretty close to net zero. I am in month 12 of my 12 month period right now, and my bill shows the running true up total for the year. right now I have a true up bill of about $80, but this month (12 of 12) I will generate more than I use, so will be close to zero for the 12 month true up bill.
FWIW mine seems to be fine. 4.5.1-864 AndroidImpact part of the app is still broken for me. I am running it on self-powered ,so not sure what they broke...
Could it be because you are on self powered, as it cannot calculate your savings due to not using the rate schedule you put in your settings?Impact part of the app is still broken for me. I am running it on self-powered ,so not sure what they broke...
