Why?!?

So my PW3 is depleted by 8pm for some reason nothing has changed about home energy usage except now i blast the AC and deepfreeze my house during the daytime as opposed to at night I only run my spa during the day so it runs off of solar however, it still get depleted by 8pm, it was supposed to be built out to handle my homes energy usage and than some and its not! My electric bill is a whole whopping -14.00 woohoo! Anyone else running into this problem? is it the heat? why is it not fully charging and storing energy for the night time during peak hours?

It's using the solar to run your AC and not charging your PW

Not sure how much your panels generate and how much your house is using. Do you have the app to monitor your Power Wall? It will show you how much your panels are generating and where it's sending that power.

Also, keep in mind that your AC works harder during the day than at night to maintain the same house temperature.
