Tesla Solar in Houston & Surrounding Area’s

[Matt-FL]

So, starting from 83 pages ago, when you ordered your system, I'm curious @Jones1 if your PV system is providing what you were hoping it would? And, I apologize if you answered this somewhere in the 83 pages since this post, but I didn't read through all of them.

I'm also curious - if the grid is down, is one PW enough to start your central AC?

Texas called for energy conservation Tuesday as extreme heat spiked electricity demand

Texans were asked to conserve energy from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday as temperatures climb over 100 degrees for much of the state.

Last night, my Powerwall stopped discharging at 51% and did not discharge again until early this morning. I wonder if this is because of the heat wave and possible use of Powerwalls for the VPP?

Spot market forecast is $2.50 per kWh at 5:00 tonight. Hope you saved some powerwall charge.

Time to turn off your A/C and everything, to send max back to the grid. Go hang out at Starbucks, lol.

I’m very satisfied with my PV System. I advise to go as big as you can afford. Spend more on Panels than PW’s. If you are trying to save on cost. Definitely go with more Panels than PW’s. If you can’t create enough Solar production. Then there is no point in having. All the extra storage. I would love to get 2-3 more PW’s.
I will when PW3 comes out. Now that the Solar/Battery credit can be reused. I plan to add more in a year or two.
One PW is enough to Start my AC. It’s the LRA and RLA rating on your outside unit. Those numbers have to be under what the PW can provide. But if or when my power goes out and I notice it. I turn my AC off. My AC unit pulls about 2.5kWh.
I hope that helps. FSD is driving me right now. Sorry for the Typos.

You should be seeing something close to $3 now. Real time spot price just hit $3000 MWh. Oof.

I turned the AC off. From my phone already.

I saw Sell price at $3 and $2. Now it’s blank. Maybe its moving to fast to track.

I’m selling at $4.97 but I can’t upload a picture on the Website. It keeps saying loading error.

The highest I saw was $4.99/kWh. I did take this screen grab at $4.82.

I ran out of power in my PWs and now they are paying $5.17/kWh. I've been wanting more PWs, so if this keeps happening . . .

There is a way you can still sell some juice to the grid for a higher price. I was going to do it.
I let you guess.

Yeah, I’ll sell a little more.

 

[Jones1]

I’ll delete it now

Nice seeing people selling at a good rate finally! I’m happy with my free nights and 3 cent back. First “bill” was a credit of 14 bucks. That was using 1,300 kWh from the grid.

Been a bit since I’ve posted but wanted to give an update on my Solar Exemption with HCAD. I received a letter in the mail today stating my exemption had been processed and when I logon to HCAD it’s now showing online.

I’ll probably go the free nights route later. Tesla won’t let current PW or Solar customers. Get the unlimited charging addition or plan until August - September. F That.
What plan and company are you with?
