Wow, I can't believe I never saw this document! Thanks for finding that - and yes it does seem to confirm what I see on my bill, although I admit I haven't done extensive analysis to confirm this behavior. The language is interesting, it sounds a lot like how short/long term capital gains work for taxes.Here's a solar tariff document that I found for Pacific Power: https://www.pacificpower.net/conten...Service_Optional_for_Qualifying_Customers.pdf
I found another interesting suggestion in another thread that suggested all-off-peak weekends were the real problem:
This seems to match my behavior - Powerwall discharged continuously after the last peak time on Friday evening to "make room" for future weekend solar (which didn't happen because winter). So I tried adding a little 30 minute "peak time" for weekends to see if that fixes the problem, and put my sell rates back to $0.One thing to note is that in Cost Saving, it will try to optimize the cost savings and does some things that I didn't like. For example, on Fridays it will start discharging in Shoulder to get SOC low for Off peak Weekend charging. So I eliminated all shoulder in my settings
