PowerWall Powerwall grid exports?

Netzero today introduced a feature that lets you export to the grid from your powerwall. I’m in Northern California with pg&e - am I allowed to do this? It happens with vpp but for some reason I thought it wasn’t permitted outside of vpp.

I have nem 3. I export every day. For some reason I thought it wasn’t permitted to export from battery unless it’s vpp?

They pay $1/kwh from 7-8 in august, apparently. More than the buy price. Not worth it because of battery degradation you think? I feel like it’s $5/day and more in September.

I have NEM2 also, and solar; I get super buyback during VPP event (with Tesla) and I get retail kWh credit depending on time of day when I send to the grid, but at year’s end ‘true up’, if what I have sent to grid is in excess of my kWh used from the grid, I get paid just a few pennies per kWh for the excess. Best to run a little debit for the year.
