topic Solar export and charging battery arrangement under VPP in Solar, Batteries & Electrification https://neighbourhood.agl.com.au/t5/Solar-Batteries-Electrification/Solar-export-and-charging-battery-arrangement-under-VPP/m-p/42207#M2305 <P>I am in SA and with AGL VPP for most 8 years. Normally the battery (Powerwall 2) will be charged from solar until it's full then the remaining solar power will be exported to the grid. I noticed since a few days ago, the solar will be exported as priority. The solar generated power is not going into the battery until after 3:00pm or 3:30pm.</P><P>After that time, the operation will return to normal i.e the solar will charge the battery.</P><P>I am wonder whether it is part of the AGL VPP strategy of controlling the battery. Does anyone noticed this? Perhaps someone from AGL can answer this.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 09 Dec 2025 00:45:55 GMT EY1 2025-12-09T00:45:55Z Solar export and charging battery arrangement under VPP https://neighbourhood.agl.com.au/t5/Solar-Batteries-Electrification/Solar-export-and-charging-battery-arrangement-under-VPP/m-p/42207#M2305 <P>I am in SA and with AGL VPP for most 8 years.

It is NOT AGL controlling the charging method. It is Tesla rolling out this new charging method aim to 'prolong' the battery life.</P> Tue, 16 Dec 2025 02:45:39 GMT https://neighbourhood.agl.com.au/t5/Solar-Batteries-Electrification/Solar-export-and-charging-battery-arrangement-under-VPP/m-p/42237#M2309 EY1 2025-12-16T02:45:39Z
