Interesting. That's when I end up with no surplus production, and quite a bit of consumption.SanDust said:Not TOU-2: Break even production + 350 kWh super off-peak = Pay for 350 kWh super off-peak
With TOu-2: Break even production + 350 kWh for charging = Get credit for 100+ kWh super-off peak.
That's a 450 kWh swing. Won't work nearly this well in winter but other than Dec-Jan the winter months is when I end up with the most surplus production.
Which, as I've said, is what I'm doing.SanDust said:Time will tell but an estimate would be somewhere between $50 and $250 for 4200 kWh.
With EW you can figure out how this would work for you, even without the decimal. FWIW the meter seems to be precise.
So far--with only about a month's worth of data with the EV meter in place (and one week of that not too meaningful, as we were out of the country, so no EV charging)--EV-TOU-2 would have saved us a little under $60. Damn, that's good! Would've been less had we been charging for that extra week. And, we'll see how it goes once those low-PV-production months come around.
Yes, the meter data is more precise--Matt from the ET Project sent me a spreadsheet with 15 minute data from my meter, which shows values down to the wH. That also showed why, in a full month that I never used the Blink to charge a Leaf (and I even had it unplugged a significant amount of time), I still pulled 9kWh per that meter. Energy Wave showed 0kWh for that whole period--insufficient precision. But those 5 wH intervals add up!
