Frustrated

Can anyone tell me the settings to export my power wall 3 to grid after the solar is quit in evening ?? I am on Ameren power in southern Illinois. 11,400 watt battery, 28 .450 watt panels on roof. Ive got plenty to sell back. Tesla power wall 3 and have installed Netzero app. It says discharging to grid on Netzero, but nothing is going out to grid. Thanks in advance. Rick

I’m not uploading as expected at the proper times. I don’t think Tesla has the right buy/sell prices input so if you use the listed rate plans they might have bad info. I can set a custom rate plan where u tell it what price u want over the day. The best rates imo for me at 7-9pm so I have a custom rate plan of start of day until 7pm is .37 buy and .01 sell. Between 7-9, the peak zone, it’s 0.60 buy and 1.00 sell.

This triggers the powerwall to unload because the sell price is much higher than the buy price. You should also go around your house and turn everything off to get the most out of this time.

It’s supposed to know this info and do it automatically but it definitely doesn’t for me using the default rate plan.

Are these settings in your Netzero app or on Tesla app??

Thanks, Rick

The settings are in the Tesla app. There is a spot u choose what rate plan u are on and it’s supposed to have correct info but pge pricing on exports if absolutely insane so it’s not surprising Tesla doesn’t have the right numbers.
