Is there any workaround to install a Gateway v2 remote disconnect in a Gateway v1? Thanks.

I'm slightly confused. Currently have a microinverter PV system, two PW2 and a Gateway v1. Tesla Powershare web site says: Installation 1 • Universal Wall Connector • Tesla Gateway • Backup Switch (optional) 2 1 Equipment sold separately. No additional equipment...

@miimura & @Vines , I have a GW1 & PW2. Is there any way to use remote battery disconnect? If not, changing Gateways seems easier (more expensive?) than running new cables. Any other benefits to GW2? Thanks.

Kansas City area. Apparently, only initial installs need permit/inspection (same as if I added PV panels). Additions do not. There is no PTO. Installer just turns it on. I will check with inspector next week to see if this is correct. Thanks.

--Per installer, no permit/inspection required for additional PW. --I do trust the installer. --I asked installer what AWG would be required for disconnect. He eyeballed what I have already on main panel and he admittedly guessed it would likely be 2AWG, but by no means was making an official...

Had a second PW2 installed yesterday. First was installed about four years ago. They are located in the middle of the walk-out basement. Yesterday, installer was telling me code four years ago did not require PW disconnect to be outside by my solar disconnect. Disconnect is next to PWs in...

Took about 6 weeks to process rebate. Got an email saying expect a check within a couple of weeks, but got it in a few days. Dropped off the app the same day as the email.

If I recall correctly, think the installer suggested that with it only cycling between 98-100% daily, it should last 20 years.

I called Tesla. My third party installer neglected to update the warranty on the new battery. They just merged the warranty with the four-year old battery. Tesla rep corrected it, had to log out and back in, and now rebate link shows up on app as advertised. On a side note, interesting how...

Thanks for the update. I guess you're getting installed directly by Tesla. Mine is by a certified 3rd party. They don't know anything about the rebate.

Already had one PW, added a rebate eligible second one today. Need some help claiming the PW $500 rebate. Website says: Review the full eligibility for the rebate. Install Powerwall(s) between June 15, 2023, and October 31, 2023. Once your Powerwalls are registered and connected to the...

Left the existing first PW on the wall (right side of pic) and put the new second PW on the floor. If I get a third, it will sandwich with the one on the floor.

The film was off. In fact, the film was hiding the damage until film was removed.

Liquid was clear and doesn't seem to re-appear after wiping off. We'll see. No viable option on rejecting unit. I've been waiting 4 years and wouldn't be able to get a replacement before rebate expires Oct 31. I'll see if I can get a discount. Took two techs 2.5 hours to install second PW...

Having my second PW2 installed right now. After the wrapper came off, saw a few dents & scratches on the front panel. From the picture, can't see the depth of the dent, just the scrape. Also note scrape on bottom right corner. There's a few others. More concerning is a sticky or oily liquid on...
