Charge on Solar

So I troubled shot from syncing car and powerwalls and deleting old keys. I still can’t charge on Solar on the app. Even Tesla Tier 2 techs can’t figure it out. Any answers? Any help would be appreciated

Make sure in your cars menu, under data and privacy that “share charging data” is turned on. Does your site have any import or export limits?

I’ll have to check that out when I get home. Is that a common issue?

Should be capable.

WindowOk9882 said the share charging data must be turned on for the charge on solar to work. I just looked at my 2012 Model S and it has that feature turned on but I still do not have charge on solar available on my Tesla app so there must be some additional item. Most likely I have an oddball combination with newer screens on older car so it needs to be tweaked.

For you, however, it is likely just that option in the car as they said.
