I am that the PowerWall has a 90% roundtrip efficiency but am having a little trouble understanding how the PowerWall is operating.
For clarity, we have two PWs so 27 kWh is the available energy - I assume that this means that more than that is used to fill it up (say 5%?) and that we then only get 95% out or similar?
Am I understanding this correctly?
In addition, we are participating in Connected Solutions and we're seeing more variability in the energy discharged during an event that I'd expected.
In most cases, the batteries are 100% charged at the start of the event but the energy discharged ranges from as low as 19.5 kWh to as high as 20.9 kWh.
Today, the battery discharged from 100% to ~20% over 3hrs, yielding only 19.5 kWh. Since events won't go below 20%, I do not understand how 20.9 kWh was ever discharged during a 3-hr event.
