Thanks for the concise, yet thorough, explanation. Unfortunately, in the two weeks since our solar panels were installed, we've had nothing but clouds and rainy days...

How much historical data does the Back Up tab show data? Will it show EVERY event going back to Day One? I assume it can be downloaded to a spreadsheet?

How does the app look like! I never saw it

Hey, just came across your channel, excellent resource.
Sorry for the long winded question.
I have solar + Powerwall 2 and for most for most of the year, am self sufficient.
I'm on TOU tariff, but keep Operational Mode on Self Powered, because generally speaking, I don't want battery replenishing from the grid on off peak, as it was doing before I changed the setting.
If we are expecting rain the next day, I will slide the backup reserve up to say 70% during the off peak period overnight to top up from the grid, to ensure that I have enough to get through the following day's peak period.
What has always bugged me is that when charging from the grid in Self Powered mode, it only charges at 1.8kW's which is too slow if I only wake up 1 - 1.5 hrs before off peak ends. If I change to Time Based Control mode during this time, then it will charge at the full rate of 5kW's, but if I'm not watching and don't change the Operational Mode back to SP, it will continue to charge to 100%, not to what I have the reserve set at.
Any reason for the different charging rates depending on Operational Modes? Tesla were not very helpful when asked.
Thanks for any insights

I'm getting 31 Enphase IQ8A Inverters mated to 31 Q Cell panels installed next month, will I need to use one or both apps to see what's going on?

Can the powerwall 2 be force charged using storm watch for a system that will not be able to fill the battery in winter using a tou tariff

Have Powerwall 2 but noticed your app is displaying a dollar value, mine displays "No data discovered for the selected time frame. Tariffs have been set up in Utility Plan Rate.

I noticed you had a Zappi EV charger. Does the powerwall recognise and 'speak' to this ?

[nyizqor]

I cant get into the system. Can you make a video for setting up a new service?

[bobqzzi]

Can someone explain why I would want to power my home at night from the batteries in a place that doesn't have time of use?
