    Sunlight Financial balloon payment.

    Hello, I secured my solar loan through Sunlight Financial. I make payments to Spectrum Credit Union. There is a balloon payment due after the the17th month of the loan otherwise they will re-amortize the loan with a higher monthly payment. There are no pre-payment penalties. My question is if I...

    What's the max generation you've seen for a 16.2kWh system at any given time?

    I have a 16.32 kW and the highest I have seen since the system went live in late November is 7.1Kw. That was a quick peak, not sustained. I have a lot of shading from trees on the south side (front of house). Also, 12 of my panels face north which I have found to be pretty useless this time of...

    Sense Monitor CT Placement

    I just added the solar CT's for sense. There was not much room to fit them in the gateway so I ended up buying the extension cable and running them to the breaker box with Powerwall and solar breakers. Attached them to the output from the solar breaker and got an accurate reading during setup...

    Powerwall discharging to grid

    It's possible but I was not offered the choice in my agreement with Tesla. Right now it appears that only Massachusetts and Connecticut offer winter events. State Customer Incentive Summer/Winter Massachusetts $180/kW $40/kW Rhode Island $320/kW No winter events Connecticut $180/kW $40/kW...

    Powerwall discharging to grid

    Congrats on the PTO! I just had mine in November. Thanks for this information and screenshot. It looks like we had our event around the same time. I went back and looked at the connected solution's contract and there is no mention of any notification so it's possible we will not be notified...

    Powerwall discharging to grid

    Looks like the power went to the grid because my "to grid" number jumped up significantly. Perhaps there is a problem with the setup of my system? My solar generation total has not been accurate (about 50% of actual) since install and still has not been fixed after several calls and emails. I...

    Powerwall discharging to grid

    I noticed this evening that my Powerwall was discharging to the grid. I assume this has to do with Eversource connected solutions demand response. I was expecting to be notified of events but have not received any notification. Does anybody have experience with this? I am located in Connecticut...

    Solar Edge access wait time?

    This is great, gives some hope of getting the layout mapped. First I have to get the layout from Tesla as I never got a copy at install. Who would be the best contact for this?

    Help Reading New Meter

    Thanks. I looked up some info online as well as some youtube videos. One video I saw had what appeared to be the same model and they had the expected reading with kWh next to it. I am wondering if it was not configured correctly? It was installed by the utlilty.

    Help Reading New Meter

    Hello, I got a new meter before PTO. I decided to take some readings from it today and I am not sure what I am seeing. There are three numbers with a "t" next to it and one with a "b". Meter is a Centron -Itron. Any ideas?

    Solar Edge access wait time?

    Thanks. I did not know if the inverter data was stored on the solar edge servers. I will have to wait until tomorrow to see if the data shows up for me.

    Solar Edge access wait time?

    Wow, after my call this afternoon I got the email 2.5 hr later! I now have access but there is no data or history. I have the black box connected with no signal error. Anything else I need to do?

    Solar Edge access wait time?

    Well after several weeks and no response, I called Tesla support again. It appears there was no record in my account of the request for solar edge access. It looks like the last guy I talked to did nothing. I requested access again and after several times on hold I was read the disclaimer as...

    Solar Edge access wait time?

    I called Tesla over a week ago to request access to the solar edge app. The representative said he put in the request but was not sure how long it would be for solar edge to respond. Those of you who requested this, how long did it take before you got a response? Who was the email from? Thanks.

    The time line for Connecticut / UI

    Hello, I live in CT and just got my final approval / PTO. My electrical provider is Eversource not UI. I placed my order on 6/20 and they did not submit the interconnection application until 9/17. It took almost 3 months to get that far. Things moved quickly after that but I had to keep on top...
