I ended up calling my building department myself. they came out and did the inspection the next day. all you need is the permit number that should be hanging outside or in the permit box

Yes, you connect the little black box to you router. https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/en_US/20180928_Solar-Panels-with-Powerwall-System-Manual.pdf

I just had one installed a couple of weeks ago direct from Tesla

My numbers where pretty close. the original estimate was 27,245kwh the 1st year I produced 28,819kwh. I have a 19.875KW system facing south and east

I have Solar and 4 PowerWalls and I have 2 SolarEdge inverters With HD plus optimizers.

you should be able to see the whole house power draw when the grid is up including the AC's that are not backed up and any other circuits that are not backed up. If the Grid is up, your AC's and any other non backed up circuits can draw from the powerwalls, but if the grid is down the...

If I am not mistaken that NEO box is what lets the system communicate back to TESLA. Your gateway should have its own WIFI antenna to connect to your network. You can run an ethernet cable from the gateway to your wired network. My system has both WIFI and ethernet plus cellular connectivity.

I had to pay for my additional Powerwall today. I added a credit card that gives me rebates to my funding options in PayPal, and I was able to use that as the funding source when I made the PayPal payment No Issue.

In addition to a whole house surge protector I have Lightning Rods on my roof peeks. My house sits in the middle of 9 acres of open space. I have seen scorch marks on one of the rods, I assume it got struck, but no damage to electronics and the surge protector was unaffected. BTW, I bought...

I had the same situation occur with Tampa Electric when I had my system installed. The adding of a $1 million liability limit to my policy cost me $28.00 a year through State Farm. Much to do about nothing

So, in my install the breaker to the Gateway takes up 4 slots. Looking at your picture it looks like if you are only moving the 100a breaker you wouldn't have enough slots to support the breaker needed for the gateway. Assuming of course you would also need 4 slots available.

They went into my attic to run some conduit from the solar array to the inverters, to connect the Powerwalls to the other panels, and to run a CAT6 to my switch on the other side of the house.
