Yes sir, I was also impressed that all my excess energy goes first to satisfy the battery and as the goes into trickle mode at around 96%, it is interesting to see the inverter begin to step down and begin exporting to the grid. I was impressed as well and will be monitoring it more as today was the first full one after making some tweaks.
Today I use the same configuration as the Grid with negative bring Export/Charge and positive being Import/discharge like a grid main. I think I need to find out to remove it from the “Power” setting with PVOutput which I have made changes for EmonCMS. I may have to do a custom input or change it in my setting to ignore negative power as this is not really “usage/consumption” but exporting.
So, that section you circled (which is cool) should not register that as power consumption but exporting to the battery when it is charging. That is the last part I think I need to work out to get things back as they were before the battery was installed.
Agreed, new waters here, but I’m loving it. I have to also laugh that I live in a small town like yourself and our electrical inspector never saw one or knew what a Powerwall was. Fun to chat with him and the Tesla rep about the tech and use case. Oh yea, he also liked the not only the Tesla panel installs, but my energy install as well. One for me.
