A Victoria Powerwall 3 owner says the installer’s “Solar Only” Gateway setting blocked battery exports. The owner says GloBird confirmed a feed-in rate of 10 Australian cents/kWh for 6–9 p.m. exports; the disputed point is whether a VPP is required.
In the Reddit post, the homeowner said distributor Jemena had approved the site’s export arrangement and solar exports were already working. The owner said the installer wanted Tesla’s “Solar and Battery” setting kept off unless the home joined a VPP; a commenter disputed this, saying VPP market control is separate from distributor technical limits.
Commenters suggested changing the setting through Tesla One or contacting Tesla support; one said support had changed it for them after a phone call. The article gives no outcome for the Victoria homeowner.
