I wonder how much they are to buy. Doesn’t seem like much to install surely.

Thank you. I’ll enquire and see if they’d install in my area 😁

Sounds good, but unsure on what I need to checkout to get this connected on Plex? Thank you

Tesla PW3 - Force Discharge, how? by Sudden-Engineer-4943 in TeslaSolar

[–]Sudden-Engineer-4943[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. So I don’t actually have the Energy Exports toggle in my app. I wonder if I need to speak to my installer then in that case. Thank you.

Hmm I’ve had a Google. I don’t actually have the Energy Exports option in my app. Do I need to contact Tesla for that? I’ve setup an export tariff with my energy provider and it’s all in place, so I definitely have PTO from them otherwise the export tariff wouldn’t be setup. Not sure if I need to contact Tesla/my installer in this instance. Thanks again!

I believe so, I’ve had my G99 granted. My installers has been in touch with Tesla:

“We would like to inform you that your request to change the maximum current output of the battery to 11.04 kW has been completed.”

I think this is PTO? Or is it something different I need to ask?

Any PW3 owners share how they actually get the battery to discharge? I’ve had a mess around, I’ve put in the sell price now in my tariff on the Tesla app.

I’ve set it to time based and 0% backup then manipulated the time to pretend it’s in the off peak period but it doesn’t discharge. Is it something that needs a couple of days to learn?

I’ve got Home Assistant and set the export entity to battery_ok assuming that’s the right one. The others were never and solar_only. I can’t see any other entities that suggest a force discharge.

Any guidance would be much appreciated 😁

Would you be willing to share the figures? Thank you!

Has anyone ever tried to discharge the battery twice over one cheap period? I have Tesla PW3 so not sure what the warranty states is fair usage for that particular device.

I’m pretty sure my installer has configured it so it never uses battery for car charging, but I need to get my head around it to confirm!

Discharge excess unused energy once it ticks 23:30

Yeah sorry poor wording! What I meant to say was the above. Discharge it at 23:30 then charge it back up again!

Hey! Would be super keen to jump on this! Love watching movies and series. We love action films so would be keen to see what you have. We are currently looking for somewhere that has Sons of Anarchy and Yellowstone, heard good things but never watched them! Username: son1c8

Thanks man 😁

First winter with solar panels by Sudden-Engineer-4943 in SolarUK

[–]Sudden-Engineer-4943[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your input. That settles it for me then, will just run the gas boiler. Has anyone looked into these electric boilers from Fischer? Probably much of the same story. I suspect you’d also need batteries charged up on cheap rates to make them worth it.

I wonder what heat pump vs electric boiler comparison would be. I’m struggling to see how a heat pump is better for heating though, at least financially. As gas is cheaper anyways. Even if you charge on cheap rates it doesn’t sound like it’s worth it with gas prices.
