Victoria Powerwall owner says exports blocked without VPP
Original: Victoria Powerwall owner says installer blocked 'solar and battery' exports without a VPP
A Tesla Powerwall owner in Victoria, Australia says their installer blocked the system's solar and battery exports to the grid unless the household joined a virtual power plant program. The claim has raised concerns about consumer choice and whether installers can force VPP participation, with implications for other battery owners in the state.
Why now: It highlights a possible conflict between installer requirements and battery owners' rights to export their own solar power.
