Sorry if this has been asked before: Anyone with existing solar under NEM 2.0 purchase a PW3 and not have their status change to NEM 3.0? Also, does Tesla disable the PW3's built-in solar inverter for systems with microinverters?

Just double checking. Is the PW3 now compatible with existing solar systems? I currently have Enphase microinverters and NEC panels and was about to consider other brands for battery storage/backup. Is the PW3 still a great option compared to Enphase, EP Cube, Franklin?

So no PW3 for me since my fairly new solar install with Enphase microinverters will not be compatible? And I held off getting battery storage waiting for the PW3. Bummer.

Wow, reading this thread has me a little nervous. But quick question, can you still turn on the hazard lights and will they stay on after it shuts down?

No Powerwalls yet. Hopefully very soon but I’m hoping and waiting for Tesla to switch to LFP’s. Then it’s an instant buy for me.

Pretty darn close to what my solar company estimated. Based off usage from Oct 2021 to 2022 they calculated that I consumed around 8800kwh. I’m sure my usage will be much higher now with EV charging added to the mix and I used my heat pump more this winter due to the colder than usual temps...

Supposedly, my solar company told me, with their fancy spreadsheets and calculations, that I should have around a 2000kwh buffer at the end of the year to offset any increases in energy consumption and all I would be paying are the NBC's each month. I had a feeling he was just telling me what I...

Thank you for the breakdown, it is much appreciated. So even with a -84kwh surplus for the month, my import charges were higher because the majority of my solar generation happened during super off-peak hours (lowest rate)? I feel like in order to offset this even more, my system would have to...

Understood, thank you for clarifying that for me. Kind of a bummer that you get charged for putting energy back to the grid. I know right?! Makes me despise SCE even more. They want to find every possible angle to try and bill their solar customers.

Sure thing. I just added a screenshot to my original post.

Confused solar newb here so bear with me. I just received my first full month bill with solar today and have a few questions. I'm now on the TOU 4-9 plan and my total usage for the month is -84kwh. Bill amount is -$42.21(yay!) but that is because SCE customers get a yearly "climate change...

I ordered from the same link that __xyzz__ (sp?) provided. It's called the Model 3 Y Tuning Store and it just arrived yesterday. Took about two weeks to get here...

Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for being the guinea pig. it looks like a solid alternative.

I just placed my Ali Express order. Hopefully everything fits like OEM.😅

From one of the thumbnails, it says they are used OEM pieces.
