I am trying to figure out why my system was pulling from the grid instead of powerwalls at unexpected times (like all weekend).
I believe it is because V4 drops the Advanced option with its Balanced and Cost Savings sub-options. The replacement is Time-Based Control which is purely time-based. This means that on my plan that has peaks M-F 4-9 PM only, the system will pull from the grid all weekends rather than using pulling from the fully charged Powerwalls after solar power drops off at night. As a result, we have pulled power from the grid this entire weekend while the Powerwalls sit there idle at 100%.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
