Depends on what you are using them for, and what your utility allows. 1.)if you are looking for protection from power outages, then the powerwalls will sit charged most of the time. Living in PA, having powerwalls with our grid has been super awesome (we find out we lost power when the app...

I feel silly for not using it sooner. It's an older IR scope, and It's definitely come in super handy over the years (finding heat leaks in the house, kittens hiding under a shed, finding a neighbor's pet who had run away).

Correct on point 1. I'm wondering if an MCI is tripped on the roof or if some other connection issue is going on up there. I'm assuming it's a 2x10 string that's active, but it's possible they wired the 2x7 into the working inverter. So it's either 3 panels hot when they should be cold, or 9...

Switched them over to uploading here

Best I can do, I only recently hooked up the pypowerwall (because I'm a fool) and there hasn't been a gold-standard pure sun day. This was before the inverter with string C/D died a horrible death.

Due to how the ground falls away from my house on that side, I had to hike to my neighbor's property. I was worried about IR reflections, so I took some from one angle, then walked a bit to get more shots from another. I also varied the color palette to help the data pop a bit in some of the...

If so, i'm unaware of how to do so. I've logged into the Tesla Inverter, and had pypowerwall pull all the data from the gateway, but I believe with the way they have my system setup the only wires coming down from the roof are the actual DC conductors. It'd be super awesome if they had a test...

Do they? I had been told that in order to get 240v backup, I needed two of them. (not that I was going to get 1). Sorry for the misinformation, learn something new every day :-)

At *least* 2. 2 gets you 240 backup. We started with 2, and are adding two more to buy a bit more backup time incase of power loss (we just got hit by a giant storm that took out power for almost 24 hours, and our two powerwalls (not running heavy loads like the dryer or AC) carried us through...

Greetings! I was stupid and didn't setup a pi with pypowerwall (and the dashboard) until recently, so I'm in the hole already for trying to determine if the array I have is working correctly. The whole setup has been live for a couple of days past one year. Three strings total, with a small...

Well, I can only give feedback on the M3LR we just picked up, no hum present. (Went down to the garage to check) Car is deathly silent with climate control off. Put it in reverse, backed up, put it in drive, pulled forward, no hum. Manual park, no hum. Just one data point though. Maybe...

Depends, are you referring to the heat pump sound, or the pedestrian warning system warbling noise? (Only had my M3LR for a couple days) I can hear the heat pump condenser fan when standing outside of the car if I turn climate control on remotely. The PWS is a weird warbling noise mandated by...

Picked up a beautiful, no panel gap (Including the rear lift) or other issue 2022 M3LR (as an engineer, I went over it with a fine tooth comb). Got a nice 2 hour drive home, and holy smokes the car is awesome. Autopilot was super nice for the drive home. I expected it to bail out in any city...
