is your PW set for self-powered mode? i ask because mine is set to Time-Based control which causes it to exclusively charge while solar is being produced. in this mode the PW won't ever discharge until peak hours occur. if you ran in this mode i think mach-lee's idea would work, because any excess going to the grid after the powerwall has reached 100% will be solar and not battery.I asked Emporia of this and was told that the device is unable to tell the difference between battery usage and solar generation. As they do not have access to Tesla API, they informed this is not a scenario they would support.
but if you need to run self-powered for NEM3 purposes then you'd probably have to come up with some hack to switch modes based on solar production, and i don't see anything in NetZero that would support that.
