That's interesting. Is it because the wires into your house cannot safely take it if you dump your batteries's contents in a few hours.

- bombcar 4y agoIf your house is rated for 200 amps in, you can deliver 200 amps to the grid. If setup correctly you could possibly deliver 200 amps to the grid whilst also consuming 200 amps yourself.
- hedora 4y ago30kWh / 3 hours is 10kWh per hour, or 10 kW. 10kW at 240V is 41 amps. Our connection to the grid is hundreds of amps. There are two reasons I can't do it: This is a Tesla pilot, and it is not a Tesla system. More fundamentally, this is a weird emergency response program. They should just set the rate structure so that people always have a financial incentive to minimize CO2 and also stabilize the grid. The rate structure does neither of those things, so we end up with lots of idling home batteries during peak demand events like the current one. On normal days, the batteries idle while peaker plants uselessly spew CO2.
