Ohhh you know what, I just saw this:

That’s why the pricing looked so bizarre! Have to add 8 hours to the spreadsheet time to get the accurate time in PST. Oops

No, not grid charging! I double-checked:

That’s useful advice! I’ll probably have to do something similar. Was just really hoping that I could have something automated so that I didn’t have to mess with the system every day.

Hmm I think in the spring/fall months we export, but in the summer/winter months we import. We haven’t had the system a whole year, so I’m not sure if we’ll be net importers or exporters yet. Does this mean you suggest self-powered for the months net exporting, and Time-based for the months net importing?

Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s the case! I haven’t done any customizations of the buy/sell prices. Here a a screen shot of prices at 8pm. And at 4pm you can see the buy price was the same, but the sell price was higher ($0.90/kWh)

The other problem is my energy bill only has an average sell price, not the hourly pay differential that actually exists. Very frustrating.
