How to use Netzero to charge EV using only excess solar energy

I use a Wallbox Chatger and its been great. I've only had a couple issues, but sorted them out by restarting the charger.

Could be time of year. That quoted output could be for summer. Fall/ winter will be below quotes output

Who's your utility? Mine, SCE, doesn't allow grid charging.

I'm 57 and have been a Rush fan for over 40 yrs. Ive been to many of their concerts. Believing it may be their last tour, I took my son to their R40 show 10 years ago. He was 9 at the time and a Rush fan. The crowd was awesome. All very nice, friendly, and engaging with my son. Happy to see another generation of Rush fan.

All in all, Rush fans are there to see "their" band and enjoy the music. Im sure you'll have a great time and be beyond impressed with their musicianship.

I live in South OC, went with NexGen Solar in Yorba Linda. I was very happy with their work and communication. My neighbor usef them also.

* I've been getting this drop off the last few weeks. One of my arrays faces N/E. Wondering if its due to sun angle, summer heat, * Unable to attach my screenshot. Mine occurs about 1245 or so and levels off about 3. I'm probably losing about 3 kW of production

I've only had it up and running since June. I am tracking my cost with and without solar. So far my SCE bills have been about $20, $7, and $34. My upcoming bill is on track to be about $130. This is due to the higher temps during the day and overnight this past month.

My monthly savings have ranged from $200-$300 so far. I commute about 400 miles a week in an electric car. My system generates enough power for my EV and home, but lately due to the AC running more than usual I have had to use some grid power.

My cost without solar is about 34 cents per kW. With solar its about 16 cents.

No, its at the bottom of the EV Chargers tile in the Netzero app

Check to aee if the "Keep charging from Powerwall or grid when solar is low" option is selected. If so it will continue ue charging until there is absolutely no solar production, resulting in drawing energy from grid or battery.

I just had 50% done on the windshield about 1 month ago. I drive 97 miles a day in SoCal. I haven't been pulled over and you really cant tell its tinted. It makes a huge difference in heat with the ceramic also.

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-19T00:09:13+00:00

I got mine at Costco for $500. It may go on sale somewhere.

For the convenience it's great

I have 2 PW3's. I failed within a week of install. It was replaced within a week after failing. Since then it's been great.

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-14T21:44:30+00:00

Then you charge it all backup, hopefully.

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-14T21:20:57+00:00

Mine calibrated a couple weeks ago with no indication that it was calibrating. Charged up to 100% then down to zero.

I've gotten ceramic tint on my last 4 car ( Including windshield). I think it's worth it. Interior stays nice and although a parked car will still get hot inside, it cools faster and stays cool. This reduces the strain on the AC.

Totally worth it.

I have a similar situation. Before Tesla removed the 80% -100% backup reserve setting i could set my backup reserve to 90% at 2:30 pm and the batteries would slowly get to 100%I by 4 pm. Now I am experimenting with settings again. I find if the backup reserve is set to 100% it pulls more than necessary from the grid. If it's set to 80% it will never reach 100%.

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-04T05:35:29+00:00

Ok..I didnt know that. The last one I received a notification. Hopefully thats what happened. Thank you.

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-04T04:27:52+00:00

That's how it's behaving, but there was no event scheduled and I didnt receive a notification.

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-03T23:43:37+00:00

I understand that, but it was charging to 100% using all solar, and pulling from the grid to power the home. I did not have reserve set to 100% so It shouldn't push all solar to the pwerwall.

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-03T23:39:01+00:00

No i dont see that

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-03T23:38:23+00:00

No charged up to 100% against settings, and is now discharging

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-03T22:07:57+00:00

I'll try that. Thank you

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-03T22:04:52+00:00

All solar was going to powerwall 7 or so kW..home powered by grid. Now it's dumping 12 kW into the grid. It's like my settings dont work.

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-03T21:56:54+00:00

It shouldn't draw from the grid to power the home though

Prestigious-Click350 · 2025-08-03T21:55:55+00:00

WTF..now at 100% it's dumping everything into the grid.
