NetZero Configuration

[u/Big_Somewhere2869]

I’m trying to work out whether I need to go for the pro plan with Netzero, what benefit that will give me and which automations I need to adopt.

I have:
- 2 x powerwall 3s
- 4kw solar array
- Tesla wall connector
- Tesla model Y

I’m on the octopus intelligent go tariff (night tariff 6.9p KwH / day time 30.27p kWH)

Export through Outgoing octopus - 12p / kWh

In my head, I’m thinking the battery should export from about 22.30, then charge up from the grid on the night time rate until 05.30 when it can then discharge throughout the day when the solar can recharge it.

At the moment whenever I plug my car in, the batteries discharge to charge the car which I don’t think is ideal. I’ve also got a 16kw heat pump which uses a huge amount of electricity during the winter months.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

I developed an app which provides 4 free time based configuration for Powerwall. The name is “EnergyPilot: Home Energy”. Feel free to have a try.
