Absolutely. Other battery and EV programs offer fixed credits for your power (while they keep the wholesale upside), and rescind them if you need to opt out. With us, you’re always in control – just visit your David Energy portal if you need to pause battery exporting or smart charging for any reason. Your plan may require you to have a device actively connected, but participation in the program is up to you.
Battery exporting monitors the wholesale market for price spikes that can get you more value for your power. You’ll likely see dispatching on ~10% of days, and more frequently in the summer. If you want to sell less of your power, just change your reserve capacity settings in your Tesla app.
In a similar pilot program, battery power sold for 95 cents/kWh on average. We don’t dispatch batteries at prices less than 15 cents/kWh, so you’ll always get more for your power than what you could buy from the grid – unlike other programs that aim to get as much power from you as possible.
Open the David Energy app to override smart charging at any time in just a few clicks, and power up right away.
Your Powerwall is already set up to avoid discharging so you’re protected ahead of forecasted storms, and you can always change your reserve capacity in the app if you want to.
More power in your hands.
