How do I add my system to that please?

I've no idea with regards to a Tesla system, but did find these links.

Powerwall2PVOutput

Members, I have added a home project to Github if any one is looking at pushing data to PVO from their Powerwall 2. Currently in Beta, would appreciate any feedback. Cheers ekul

Set up for an average guy with solar and a powerwall

I just signed up and maybe this is not for me. I am not a programmer by any means. Is there a simple step by step set up guide for this or is it designed more for the programmer, engineer someone that know what they are doing Does The system collect usage data automatically or does one have to...

Finally making progress on our new house purchase so hoping to get solar and battery installed.

Has anyone in here gone for solar tiles/slate ?

You'd be better off posting in this thread, buti don't recollect anybody mentioning them.

Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

We signed up to a Wiltshire council "Solar together" scheme. Basically they auction off batches of people interested to get a low bid for the work. We've been offered: 12 Panels "Canadian Solar". 1.7m x 1.1m 435W with a 10 year guarentee Fox ESS F series invertor 10 year warrenty 4.7kWh...

I'm assuming your energy used is from the battery as it's showing a constant value?

No, mine is what the Victron system deem's as house consumption. My inverter sits between all loads and the grid, and it knows what the AC connected SolarEdge system is generating so from all that it can work out consumption. Charging the batteries isn't counted as consumption, nor is discharging them to the grid, but if used for power the house then that would be counted.

I have about 500 to 600w constant load, also the Victron does read about 5% over on grid import & export compared to my smart meter, so consumption may well be over as well.

I enabled it around lunchtime.

The figures are right, let’s see how it looks tomorrow.

The massive spike in power used I think is auto generated. I kept deleting it but as soon as energy used hit a value the reading for power came back.

Its just you'd expect the energy used to be increasing, and the power used to be fluctuating not zero most the time, unless pretty much everything is off.

You'd need to upload 24/7 not just when there is solar.

PS You'll got the big spike because the system thinks you used that all in one go.
PPS. I'm only uploading AC power, and therefore energy used is calculated - I upload every 60 seconds.

OK, it's working as expected...

....but do I want to show

1. what I've pulled from the grid?
2. what the house is using?
3. do I care?

at the moment I'm thinking 3 and will probably turn it back off.

As it's showing grid consumption I'm guessing you charged the batteries overnight, and then pretty much running off solar/batteries?

I think there is a privacy setting, which means only you can see power consumption.
