What is the best way to meet CA SGIP 52-cycle Powerwall requirement?

Currently set to “self-powered’ with a 90% reserve to exercise the batteries a bit each day.

Should I just change it to 10% once a week? Is 10% low enough? Is exercising it daily a good idea?

Thanks a lot for advice/suggestions!

90% is too high, you won't meet the 52-cycle requirement. The highest you could go is 85% and that assumes it is fully charged each day. I would lower your reserve to 70% or whatever will cover you overnight if there is an outage. I have mine at 33% because I want to maximize discharge during the peak. It's more than enough for an overnight outage.
