    I was sure you were wrong ant that $150 was just an incentive to be in the program. That battery owners would be paid for their power.

    You were right, though. It really is a flat $150 per year. The company who manages the energy from the batteries gets paid for the energy, not the battery owner.

      My Tesla Powerwall is part of a VPP program in the northeast. We have 3 powerwalls in total that typically put back 20 KWh during VPP events. Last year, the first year we did this, we were reimbursed $1459.97 at the end of the season. That energy returned to the grid also counts as a credit on our electric bill.

      Makes me glad I don’t live in CA.
