Unreasonably pleased when I can charge from excess solar (media.piefed.social)

I somewhat recently connected Emporia Vue's 'net production/consumption' metric to my OpenEVSE so I can make use of the 'eco divert' feature that only charges from excess solar production. Since my utility charges for transmission of net-metered power, this leads to some savings. When we have cooler summer weather it shows up very nicely on the graph.

EVSE view: OpenEVSE eco divert

(Hopefully this is OK for this community. Not news, but could be a nice highlight/discussion. If not, glad to find another spot to share it.)

I don't have an EV yet either, trying to figure out how to get a BYD...

But it's always a great feeling when you hear the "please set your thermostat to 80°" pleas and then look at your solar aray sending 6-8kW back to the grid and go "No...I don't think I will".
