I am having flickering problems again. This has returned after two years of no problems. The last time Tesla adjusted my setting, and everything was perfect. However, Tesla put me through an exercise with PG&E before they realized it was a problem on their system. PG&E was perfect, no...

I have two Power-walls here in Northern California. I keep them 50% charged all the time for backup and use the other 50% to power my house during PG&E peak billing hours. So during the day, at least in the summer they always charge to 100% and quickly, the I use 50% to power the house at...

Tesla recommends Time Based Control to maximize your saving. My installation is 48 panels and 2 power walls over the last several years I used Self Powered. However I thought I would give TBC a try. I am a PG&E TOC Rate C customer using MCI. What is going on? My Power Walls are charged to...

When launching the Tesla app on my Android smartphone it is showing old charging data, and then displays "Check Internet Connection". This is recent and happens a lot. I have excellent wifi network, powerwall app works fine, why is the Tesla App doing this. Worked for several years without an...

I keep getting that the Tesla App will not update and it is not connected to the Internet on my Pixel 8 Android Phone. Intermittent it comes and goes, but difficult to get it connected back to internet with android wifi. I am connecting via my very strong wifi network, no connection issues...

When I originally had this happen it was really bad. These spikes, short interruptions actually caused all my equipment in house to freeze, blinking lights, etc, really bad. Tesla told me it was PG&E so I went through a lot of trouble with PG&E., and they were really supportive and helpful...

I have 2 PW, 48 panels. Short outages, this is happening a lot, 6 times in September, I get outages, a few seconds, or one minute. No one in my area is having any power glitches, or spikes. PG&E has load tested, and my equipment is perfect performing perfectly. I have complained to Tesla...

Not sure if this has been discussed but I don't understand the differences and what is best to use to insure you do not have a large true-up bill at the end of the year. I am on the PG&E plan that charges a premium for usage between 4pm and 9pm. Last year I used self powered and with the...

Thanks, because it is the whole house, how would a kill a watt meter show voltage for the whole house. Not sure how I would use it. Also, PG&E did extensive testing at the meter. "PGE voltage at meter on 4/0 service feed is very good 121.3 / 121.2 to neutral. Hooked load center on service at...

Started about a week or so ago with slight dimming of the lights, never before, then started getting clicking from my power surge protector and conditioners, and then about 4 days ago it has gotten worst with house randomly shutting down. My first notice of something wrong was in Back up...

The Tesla System is causing my house to have intermittent hard stops, lights flash violently, house crashes. The house then starts back up but I have to reset modems, flat screens, appliance LRF's, etc, annoying. Tesla blamed PG&E but after extensive testing the PG&E service is perfect...

I have issues with Tesla energy system, 48 panels, 2 PW's. It seems to be spiking my voltage levels. My utility PG&E has tested the service connection and it is perfect, no fluctuations. Tesla is investigating the issue. I was thinking of resetting the gateway, but can not find any info on...

Over the last several days, my back up shows literally dozens of 1 sec outages. Also I have noticed some of my LED lights flickering. I don't know if this is somehow related, but something is strange. Below is a screen shot from the APP showing just a few of these. I have contacted Tesla...

My usage for the year Home Usage is 9.69 MWh. My Solar Generation fort the year is 14.30 MWh. My Powerwall Discharge is 2.86MWh Net Grid Use -4.25 MWh These numbers taken from the Tesla App today. Recommendation based on these numbers???? I am not sure I understand what a Net Producer is, and...

I am a little confused with PG&E True-up Detail of Bill and Conditions. My True-up bill will be due in Nov, 2022. My most recent statement through August 09, 2022 shows a Cumulative Energy Charges or Credits for -830.40. PG&E says "Following the True-up, generation credits and usage history...

I have two of these living in Northern California where we do have a history of fire caused outages. So normally I always keep my power walls charged to 50% and they are quickly charged about 3 hours of solar from my 48 panels during the day. The rest of the day overage solar goes back to the...

So the power came back on almost immediately. About five minutes or so after the power came back on, I did get a notification saying the house was being powered from the power walls, it was not. I never have received any of those screen shots when running from power walls during a power...

Our power went out and the Power Walls started up providing service. However, now it seems the power grid is back on. How do you tell if you are using the Power Walls or the Grid. This is important because if you have an extended power failure, you need to turn off house A/C, large power...

Did not see on that site where to enter data. What am I missing, thanks

Q Peak Duo BLK-G6+SC340 I have 48 of these on my roof, 2 PW's. Checking the Solar Edge Application for one of the panels in perfect bright sunlight does not seen to be producing close to 340 watts of power. So what should I expect??????

Thanks for the info. I was not at home. Checking the app remotely I noticed no solar production looking at the app graph. There was a big gap in the solar production app graph. The PW's were fully charged when the outage happened. The outage was 1.5 hours so I do not know how low the...

Playing golf today in CA and noticed my solar production was dead, no production. My house was being powered by my 2 power wall batteries. After about 1 1/2 hours solar started working again, charging the batteries, and powering the house. When I got home I discovered we had a power outage of...

I have been using the older version, better app than new one. However, I can no longer log in to the app on my Android phone. Just last night logging in not possible. Why? It downloads and installs, but when I try to log in message is Sign In Failed, unauthorized. The older app is soooo...

Thanks for all the responses. As expected I did not get my $250 back. From my perspective when I ordered the car in Dec, Tesla quoted me a Mar delivery. That is why I placed the order, and that date held until Feb when the order slipped to May. The order was placed on their delivery date...

I know that the site says non-refundable, but according to the web some folks are getting the deposit back I am a very loyal Tesla customer installing last year 48 panels, and 2 PW's. It costs a lot of money. It has been a very good customer experience. Anyway, my wife's car, the lease...

Looking at the daily production I show some production on Inverter 1, however, when I run playback the panels always are shaded, and I do not see what panels on that inverter are producing energy. How can that be. Tesla tells me all is right with the panels. Are those panels on inverter 1...

I am on the TOU every day plan (.Time-of-Use (Peak Pricing 4–9 pm Every Day). I tried to change my TOU plan to E-TOU-D (Time-of-Use (Peak Pricing 5-8 pm Weekdays) E-TOU-D) When I attempted on their WEB site to change my plan they tell me: "ACCOUNT NOT ELIGIBLE There is no...

Putting a screen around the Tesla panels should not void any warranty. Contact Tesla and ask for their Pest Abatement Quote. They will quote a price and send a crew to install the screen, or they will refer you to someone in your area that can do that work.

There are people that install the mesh screen on solar. I live in Northern California and had my 48 panels screened. It cost approximately $1,500 to do all the panels. It is my understanding that Tesla will do the screening. They are more expensive. Good Luck, these varmints eat the...

Tesla app from Grid, 3377 kWh to Grid, 3700 kWh -323 kWh pretty close.

16.32 kW Solar Panel System Estimated energy produced: 15,789 kWh /yr 2 Powerwalls 48 panels, Thanks for responding.

Ran a spread sheet for 2021 from Jan 1st until Oct 31st using PG&E data on their web site. Long spread sheet hour by hour, day by day, the net total result is -354.87 kWh for the year. The Tesla app shows for the year: Home Usage = 12,336 kWh Solar Energy = 13,108 kWh = -772 kWh Why are...

Got permission to look at the SolarEdge App from Tesla. On the layout selection it shows all my panel, optimizers. I have several on one of the inverters that have not produced any solar in over a month, 0. Using the app how do I tell if I have a bad panel, a disconnected panel. I have two...

On one of my Trane units, my A/C contractor was doing some service work and noticed this installed. He says it was not installed by Trane so he had no idea how this part got installed. Did Tesla install this in the unit at Solar and Power Wall installation???????? If they did how come in only...

Thank you, got the old app back. Hopefully Tesla will make the new one more useful.

How do I use APKMirror to install V3, V4 is really bad! Thanks

Just noticed that you can pair your smart phone with your power walls. What does this do? What function does it add? Why is this new step needed? Comments????

Just installed the Android version. I don't like the new version. The energy graph section is hard to read, and does not allow you to overlay all the curves. Very confusing, I don't understand why Tesla did this. It adds no value over the replaced version. I am not upgrading my IOS version...

It is a 25 year old knuckle back breaker that is no longer made except refurbished, Cooper Crouse-Hinds Murray MD2200 Main Breaker Vertical Mount 200A. PG&E said it looked a little worn. I am replacing it with a Siemens that will fit and work. Just a precaution. Maybe it is not necessary.

I need a new main master 200 AMP breaker installed in my PG&E meter box. My Tesla Installation has 2 Power Walls. How do I change a main breaker with the Tesla configuration without zapping myself. Is it as simple has turning the Power Walls off. I suppose there is no way around losing power...

Installed my Tesla Solar system with 48 panels and 2 Solar-edge inverters last December. My issue is that my inverters display solid green light showing solar production yet I have had solar panels broken not producing. Tesla has visited twice to repair solar panels running their Solar-edge...

This is showing as a online device. I don't know how it got on network, what it does, is it required, etc? How did it appear? Is Tesla monitoring my wireless router network? Seem like a security issue to me. Should I delete it, take it offline? Comments?

Tesla was here yesterday to repair 12 of my 48 panels. I have two SolarEdge Inverters each managing 24 panels. My issue was these panels were down, not producing, and the SolarEdge Inverter was showing a Green LED so it looked like all the panels were working. The Tesla Tech reps on site ran...

We had a outage today, and our 2 power wall recovery was not seamless. The 65" display turned off, and many of our LED remote controlled lights turned on. Our satellite receivers that were off turned then selves on. Mostly everything else was seamless and without these few devices turning...

This may seem like a rather stupid question. I have 48 panels and 2 PW's. When the power goes out the house keeps running. My question is when I am having electrical maintenance performed, adding circuit breakers, running a new circuit, fixing a breaker, how do I turn off all the power so the...

The problem is for some reason I was not on that plan therefore I was not getting the proper credits for banked Grid power. PG&E is correcting this and will apply the correct credits. I wondered why I have been making grid payments since PTO was issued in Dec. Thanks

I banked 785 kWh. How can I be charged anything. What is PG&E doing with my banked power. With banked power I had thought that would pay for power when charged from the grid. Everyday I am generating more solar than house use. Where is my banked solar going? I don't understand how this...

What am I missing? For 29 Billing Days I was billed by PG&E 127 kWh that shows on the Tesla download data. I am having trouble understanding how I can generate 1678.7 kWh of Solar Energy with 973.2 kWh of Home Usage and have a from Grid of 127 kWh. Obviously I am not understanding the Tesla...

Where do you live for your gutter quote?

Thanks to all for the input. Talked to Tesla, and there is no way for them to determine if you have a couple of panels not working. They say it is something you probably would not notice. I have SolarEdge inverters installed in Dec, without the display so there is no way for me to log in to...
