any idea when this feature will be available? I’d really like this; I’d much rather the car adapter to the available solar, charging faster when it’s sunny, and slower, perhaps not at all, when it’s not.

Don’t be surprised if it doesn’t just show up on its own. I’ve had my battery system for almost a year, and still haven’t seen this option. Support tried to tell me it has something to do with m6 location, but I don’t see how that’s likely. If you do call support, please let me know what you did...

Not that I know of. It’s limited only by the service you have feeding the home, less the amount you plan to consume during the period. It would be challenging to add more than 2 PWs worth of discharge unless you have 200 amp service. You start this program by submitting 30 days of compliant...

Of course, if the Powerwall’s algorithm could be changed so that it doesn’t raise the frequency when it’s discharging, regardless of capacity, that would also solve my problem.

I have a single Powerwall, and an 8.2 KW system. Up until now, I’ve had the majority of my power outages in the morning, and the result was hardly noticeable; everything in the home continued to run normallly, and the solar panels continued to generate power and run the house; all excess solar...

I think I finally cracked this problem! When I started to discharge to the grid at the rate set in the Powerwall of 5000w, the Powerwall initially worked just fine. After about 20 minutes, it gradually starts to reduce the power it outputs, until it gets down to around 3000w. I had assumed...

Tesla Energy told me to reset the Powerwall to fix this problem. That entails turning the switch off, and then the breaker to the Powerwall, and waiting at least 30 seconds. The green light continues to shine, even with the breaker off. You then turn the breaker on, Powerwall back on, and wait...

BTW, I’m not sure, but I think this change corresponds to being updated to 22.18.3.

I’m signed up for a battery power export program, and my gateway is set to export 5KWs for 2 hours each evening. This has been working flawlessly since originally provisioned back in April. However, twice this week, the export has been just over half the normal amount during the configured...

I’d like to be able to set the vehicle Charging Threshold when my grid is offline. I assumed that because I can’t see this option, Tesla had simply not set it up correctly, so I chatted with a rep. The first rep switched me to the vehicle side, who quickly understood my problem and sent me...

What is the home IP network that you are using? I could not reach my gateway because my home network was 10.1.1.0, and there appears to be no way to change the netmask from the default 255.255.0.0 to the one I’m using. I ended up creating a static route to the 192.168.91.0 network using the DCHP...

Does It drive the frequency up to 65mhz immediately, or does it gradually increase it, which would cause newer inverters to “curtail”, followed at the higher rate, by the older ones, that just turn completely off. I’ve got 6Kw of older inverters, and 2.5Kw of newer ones, so I’m hoping that 5Kw...

I haven’t yet tested this with my original Enphase inverters, which are the older M215 models. They do seem to offer the correct frequency limit triggers, so I think they will go offline properly.

Yes, I did. The only addition from the standard configuration was a manual cut off from both the new solar and for some reason the battery, in addition to the existing cutoff for the original solar system. In the event that I have a long term power failure, I’ll use one of the cutoffs to either...

Are you in Time Based Control? I find if I switch to Self Powered, my PW charges at 5, but otherwise at 3.5.
