The last time I called Tesla Powerwall North America support for an urgent problem, they could not solve my problem and told me that they didn’t have enough coverage for anyone knowledgeable to help me in less than one day, so they asked me to call back at night when the Australian support team...

For this part I see you modify the weekday rate schedule in the app to eliminate the partial-peak periods and curtain the peak period by 3 hours. But how do you automate switching the Powerwall coverage during the week between OhmHour/some weekdays vs your presumably now “regular” weekday days...

If you have no charging schedule set, this is exactly what is supposed to happen according to the manual, p.131, irrespective of app usage. That is, after plugging in and car is in park and battery conditioned (and SOC is below threshold of charge limit), you have to expect charging to commence...

@MorrisonHiker @Dan123 Thanks guys — you beat Powerwall support response time by a long shot!! Telsa NA telling me to wait for the Australian support team to wake up, seriously?? In the meantime I tried to change various settings to force charge, and also cut and reset solar breakers, etc...

Hi all, I’m currently under yet another planned PG&E all-day power outage and have gateway software 1.37.1. Although previous power outages were handled fine, this one started with Powerwalls at 50%, but Gateway immediately started outputting 61.3Hz (at 240Vac) and thus never enabled Solar to...

That inverter has max output of 47.5A. According to NEC, you multiply by 125% and round up to nearest available breaker (unless you are less than 0.5A above one). That means 60A breaker is the recommended breaker for you so sizing is not the problem. There is a spec note on this from...

Not sure about the Amazon one, but the ModernSpare tire has 115 load rating (2679 lbs.) which exceeds the stock wheels. I calculate it has about 1” smaller overall height (diameter), so Pi” smaller circumference, which is manageable. If the wheel itself is certified to sufficiently high load...

Within the first 5 weeks after installation we racked up a total of 37 backup hours in 5 PG&E planned (fire prevention) and unplanned (PG&E equipment failure) outages. The longest single outage so far has been 17.5 hours. The future is bleak (but a bit brighter with Powerwall).

Yes I think option 2 is the best choice. That is what Tesla designed for my installation. They installed a new 200 amp generation panel containing 4x 30 amp breakers for the Powerwalls and relocated 80 amp breaker for existing solar. They used an Eaton panel that looks just like yours but with...

What you describe is typically called “peak shaving” to reduce energy demand charges. The commercial version of the Powerwall, the Tesla Powerpack, seems to have this capability/algorithm as one of its main features. Powerpack - Commercial & Utility Energy Storage Solutions | Tesla However the...

Where are the jump terminals on the PW? I don’t see any — can you share a pic?

Directly under reset button on the brain box :)
