Hi Joe here from sunny Shellharbour south of Sydney.
We fitted a PW2 July this year and have found most days we have surplus power left in the battery.
We had not planned to fit a battery this year but were pushed by the drastic change lowering) in Feed in tarif.
our first bill after fitting showed a small purchase fall (winter so not unexpected)
our next bill saw a Massive bill as it seems the Line meter is reading the flow of power to and from the battery and (as i found out last night) even billing us for self consumption and Crediting generation overnight!
Our Solar/Battery installer is comming tomorrow to check the wiring (and correct any errors) as it would apear the Line meter CT's are fitted in the wrong place (significant changes were made with the PW2 instalation)
The installer has stated he will refund any costs due to the false readings.
For example overnight last night we were billed for 4kwh import and credited 4kwh export in the dark!
wilst totaly self consuming the battery.
Our electricity provider has agreed to put a stop on our account to allow the investigation and repair to occur
So hopefully this wll turn out a lesson and not a pain.
Lesson learned don't just look at the Tesla App and feel good also Take pics of your meter to prove it is wired up right
