    How to clean solar panels?

    I think what I'm going to do as a test is to clean 2 of my panels, then look at the numbers for the following day and compare the output of those 2 panels to the panels adjacent to them to see what the production difference is. I don't have Tesla panels, just a Tesla Powerwall2. I've got panels...

    March was a great production month

    I just pulled up the power totals for May: I hoped it would have been better, but there were a few days where my net day was drawing from the grid instead of a net export.

    PW owners, summer is coming/here. What is your reserve percentage?

    Depends on the weather. If we have storms coming: 90% Normal weather: 35%

    Ethernet to Tesla Solar Inverter?

    When I was 15, I was babysitting and was looking out the sliding glass door at the storm . A few seconds later, lightning hit the BBQ on the deck about 10 feet from where I was standing. Yes, as a matter of fact I did almost soil my pants... My heart was racing for over an hour.

    Do you have enough solar to go off grid in winter?

    *Could* I go off grid? Yeah, but it in the winter, it wouldn't be pretty at night when it can get in the 20's at times. This month, I've been averaging a net exporting of just over 18kWh per day, and that's with 5 very cloudy days. I did have one day this month where I had a net import of...

    Can Tesla PW's be connected to a different brand of solar roof panels?

    I've got LG panels with Enphase microinverters, tied to an Enphase gateway and a Tesla Powerwall 2. My install was done by Sunpro

    More than 20% decrease in solar output in 1 year

    I don't have Tesla panels, just LG panels with a Powerwall and an Enphase inverter, but my Enphase system tells me the output of each panel:

    Question about when grid goes down

    I'm somewhat new to solar since I've only had my system live for less than a month now, and thought I would ask people with far more experience that me. I have a Tesla Powerwall 2 and a Enphase combiner with IQ7 micro-inverters on the panels. The Powerwall is connected to the 10-breaker sub...

    March was a great production month

    I only got my PTO on 4/12, but April was better than I thought it would be.

    Mid day point release update (22.9.2)

    My thinking is that it makes more sense to do it during the peak of production so that if you're not grid tied, or the grid power goes out, you're not without power during the upgrade.

    Could Tesla solar panels connections to grid and house have been mixed up?

    Sounds like they mounted the solar panels upside down, so they don't absorb light, they suck in dark. 😀
