I watched TE PW control today. Looks like they alike to keep the PW around 40-60%. It never Fully Charged PW. Thank goodness. I like this better than the first TE Plan. I had. It would fully charge at night. I rather charge at a lower rate and have a chance for Solar production to recharge the PW.
I still love Net Zero. Amazing App.

I have to say. If anyone is looking to Power their backyard shed , house or storage. The ecoflow is an amazing product. They even have a DC powered HVAC system. I might buy it later. I already owned 3 portable AC units. During the summer. I do have to use Shore power. I currently run an extension cord to the shed. From October to April. I would not need that to give it extra watts. To keep a climate of 80 degrees 24/7.
Currently I only have half the solar panels I need to max the unit out. I have about 500 watts. I can max the Delta max out at 1000-1200 watts I believe. Copper cost tooo much right now. Later I will run 120v to and from the shed. So I can have the 4kWh to be used on the interior property.
I have the delta max. But I recommend the Delta Pro Max. Just like my house PW. I tried to be thrifty and Cheap out on the size.
The max can expand from 2kWh -6kWh.
The Pro I believe is 3-9.
Great app. Easy control. I have a smart thermostat in my shed. So I know the temperature. I put tools , mulch, lawn stuff and I have a Windows laptop in it. No Mac. maybe mac later. I’m gonna put a TV in it. I will get another Battery to get the full 6kWh and add more Solar panels.

I’m good. All of my coworkers lost power. From the storm or from the repairs from the storm.

Bad Bad. I feel bad to tell people I have PW. But I still do.
out of power for more than 2 days now. 400 Amp (2 x 200 service lines). Each connected to a power wall (so 2 total power walls). they held up quite well. Only issue i faced was that during normal times (no grid failure) my system has no problem running 2 ACS on one of the (bigger) service lines, but kept on tripping due to surge. But I can can run ACs one by one.... but power wall definitely a blessing at night. as expected ran entire night for fairly big house with 5 refrigerators with no issues....
did your system hold up well? glad that we did not have food waste like a lot of people around us. most in my neighborhood have generators....
Haven't had power for two days, up on the NW side. Just found out 1 of my 3 PW is not working. I had 90% and it was only showing a 13 hour run time when my home was using 1.1 kW, that was a red flag. Still shows 3x PW on the app. Talked to support moments ago and they said it shows it has been out since April. Zero notification and I'm given a 4-6 week replacement. Not happy with this.
You will want to get a soft starter on each of those AC units. One main reason I went with 4 Powerwalls was to make sure I can start my 2 AC units at the same time in the event of an outage. Even with the four Powerwalls, I decided to install a soft start on each of my AC units outside. Soft starters will dramatically reduce the in rush surge amperage when the compressor starts. My large unit has a rated LRA of 109 amps, but with the soft starter, it usually draws in the low 30's.

I have two of the X48 units.
Power hasn’t went out for me since 5/13/2024
most of my Development has power. The next area over. A lot of people still don’t have power. Homes , Schools, traffic lights. Most stores have power that I’ve seen Best Buy at least.
If we run out of food. Send us the address. Wow 5 Fridges
Amazing.
I have 2 and a freezer.
I had 3 but I brought one to work.
