Probably the diodes shorted, causing the solder to melt while still on roof. Emi from lightning strike can cause that. I know! Did you repot the diodes? I did!!!

Good thing you didn’t roll in cost of a new roof or a bathroom remodel under the tax credit! lol Good luck. Contact Tesla. Wouldn’t the engineering drawings list installed equipment and then all you need is the statement from mfg.

You can now display your data to match your billing period. Nice addition.

Anyone watch the training videos? I was getting small drop outs in my data. Tesla tech identified the issue, solar CT’s needed to be flipped. She tried but failed, I said first stop the system then you can make the change. Then she had me do it with the Tesla Pro App. Anyway the changes fixed...

Looks better all white.

Don’t let tesla ever see you install or they will void your warranty!

I would let tesla remove the system. They will not, if they do then replace the system with new system of same size. No approval needed form utility.

Tesla’s solar CT’s (connected directly to gateway, Nero’s are fine) are calibrated about 10% high. Probably on purpose so people think their solar is working well. So if all loads are off, the solar CT’s should match the Line CT’s. Seems like the calibration is looking for the lowest house...

Turn off all loads/breakers and let the solar calibrate with the main CT. I think Tesla finally figured out that their solar CT is off 10%. If all loads are off as well as Powerwall then solar has to match the main CT in the gateway. Don’t turn off gateway main breaker, just the loads and let...

For PW2/+ it is AC, for PW3 the MPPT charge the batteries with DC so I think it will be a mix!

That is why I said “It would be cool if Tesla made a separate box”; and that is why it would have a disconnect switch. It could even check the THD to protect Tesla’s hardware. Would probably need some sort of circuit to help synchronize generator. I would probably fork over 2K for said box...

It would be cool if Tesla made a separate box with a generator disconnect switch that could be connected to your generation panel. Probably require a few chips to connect to canbus and check for stable voltage and have CT’s to monitor load be applied to generator.

New solution. Buy a cybertruck and charge it with the generator and then connect truck to house!

Tesla’s EVSE equipment is capable of load sharing. Even tho you have two charger circuits you could set the chargers to load share to play nicer to the grid, if that would work for your vehicle usage. Because of the amount of utility scale solar on the grid, the rate is really low during the...

YES
