I believe the '0' usage is due to separation of generation and consumption metering - when consumption is completely supplied by the panel the consumption goes to '0' - If the graph was single color (net metering) the orange bars would be inverted.QueenBee said:Nice!
Was there an issue in measuring on the second graph? Was your usage literally zero in the middle of the day?
You are right. My off-peak hours on E-7 (grandfathered PG&E circa 2005 rate) start at 6 pm and run through noon M-F. The Leaf-S does not allow setting a start time even though you wouldn't think so if you read the manual (http://1drv.ms/1k18h2L" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false. That's a real problem since I only have L1. The possibility of forgetting to plug in after 6 and being car-less the next day is finite.abasile said:Very nice. It looks like you are doing the bulk of your charging after arriving home in the evening. For battery longevity and grid friendliness, I'd recommend instead charging in the very early morning hours whenever possible. You can use a charging timer with an end time of, say, 7 AM and no start time.
On the timer, you don't need to set a start time, just an end time in the AM just before you leave for work.eyeks said:You are right.

Could you elaborate on your 'For battery longevity' comment? I believe I'm grid friendly after 6 pm.
