oh wow nice.... yes in the morning i know my system could generate more but PW is 100% and utilization is not that high. But yes, would be happy with 45 KWH production. if you are generating 46-49 KWH with 6.3 peak production it is great. You need more panels if you have already have two 7.6 KWH inverters. 9.2 KW system would give ideal 1.2 DC ratio with just one 7.6 KW inverter. How many strings (MP1, MP2, etc) do you have going into each inverter?

Tesla Solar in Houston & Surrounding Area’s

This is what I’m seeing. I also signed up around 6/9. It seems to stop draining anywhere from 11:00 at night to about 4:00 am, then it will finally start draining the battery again. Usually about 51%, but the other night it was almost 60%. I was assuming they think they would need it the next day.
No confirmation email from Tesla, but isn’t that normal?
I noticed it. After the last Tesla app update. I have sent several emails to Tesla Electric. Letting them know how the plan needs to change. Also begging for the unlimited charging.
The last email response was to tell me. It will be available later this year. To current Tesla Electric and PW owners. Currently it’s only available if you buy a model 3. By June 30.

So Tesla told me because I have two powerwall+ it was a straight requirement to have two 7.6 inverters as they are included with the powerwalls.
I have 6 strings total with panels facing in all 4 directions. One has MP1, 2, 3 and 5 on it totaling 10 panels
Other has MP4 and 6 on it totaling 13 panels
I originally ordered a much larger system but Tesla made it smaller. Fought to get it back up to 9.2 but at install the installers told me it could have been bigger. So I placed a second order and Tesla refuses to add a second system saying there’s not enough room. I think if I want to add more I would have to go with someone other than Tesla and since they can’t tie into my powerwalls I will just deal with it the way it is. I have 3 years with free nights and if the free nights end I guess I will sell my house and get a one story with a long unobstructed roof line that faces south hahaha. Especially since 10 of my panels here face due north.

But let’s be honest that’s only a perk to make you forget about the fact you buying the last of the last of the current design. Highland M3 gotta be right around the corner….I noticed it.

Since I only have 2 PWs, I cannot make it through the night since the heat started, but power generation is no problem. I’m still dumping excess solar during the day and trying my best to charge the car with this excess solar. That being said, since the heat started, I can only gain about 10% in my Model X with excess solar right now. During spring, I charged in to 90% everyday with the excess.
One day last week, Tesla Energy was paying me almost $5.00/kWh for my excess. In fact, they drained my battery at that price so that I had to run the rest of the night on grid power. But, they paid me $5.00 and I bought at $0.11, so I think it was a great deal. My only regret is I didn’t get more PWs.

oh that makes sense, didn't know you had 2 powerwall+, yes they come with inverter. something i learned and now tell friends is you only need 1 powerwall for service line. Tesla corporate folks are stubborn sometimes, local install crew was great. we knew we were getting solar so picked a lot and designed the house in NE->SW orientation so the side roof and back roof capture entire sun movement during the day.
Paper Plate Scam. I call it. Used car lots printing off paper plates. So people can drive illegally. They are suppose to crackdown on it. But they won’t. This is Texas. The BarNone state.

Well if you got a name of a dealership offering them dm me… because I may be rolling with fake paper plates now that Texas wanna charge 400/200 dollars EV tax a year. Hahaha just kidding!Paper Plate Scam. I call it. Used car lots printing off paper plates. So people can drive illegally. They are suppose to crackdown on it. But they won’t. This is Texas.

If I was able to get the unlimited night charging. I would of made a profit for June. 
Also pictures can be posted again on this forum. They have fixed the issues.

Impressive, $0.17/kWh for export. Is this your June bill? I will not get my next bill until after July 12th and I assume it will include the one day where I got more than $4.00/kWh.If I was able to get the unlimited night charging. I would of made a profit for June.

You can order just Powerwalls now from Tesla, maybe it makes sense to add a couple with the Tesla Electric plan and VPP.
LFP PW3. I’m going to take out a 15 year loan. I’m getting 3 more.
In a couple of years. Probably next year.

Yeah seems like a really big overhaul of the graph and data. Lots of things I wished was available now is. Especially an easy way to see a month worth of how much solar was pushed to the grid. Wish I could zoom in a bit on the graphs but hopefully that will get fleshed out in more updates.
Not available for me yet.
