Got it, thanks Wayne. I believe I torqued it correctly with a torque wrench but I will double check.

I see a spot where a screw could go so I think it's not bonded to the case. Does that mean my loads weren't actually grounded before? I'm glad I double checked my electrician's work, I will not be using him again. I just added the grounding bar to the sub panel now and ran it straight to the...

Thanks Wayne! Really appreciate your time looking at it. So the neutrals are fine on the existing bar in the 200 amp sub panel in the garage, it's just the grounds that need to be moved off in either of those ways you mentioned (depending on the result of the nipple being grounded). Just wanted...

Yep those are inside the wall. One runs directly to the plug behind the stove and the hot tub one runs to a separate 50 amp GFCI sub panel. The 100 amp powers my entire house minus stove, hot tub, AC condenser, Tesla wall connector that you see in the first picture. My backup gateway is what is...

Hey Wayne, Thanks for the detailed analysis! So it is actually inside my garage, the panel shown. My true main panel is on the other side of this wall which is exterior. Tesla did the original install of this panel minus the two new loads that are coming in from the bottom right as you noticed...

Hey everyone, I had a guy install a 50 amp breaker for an induction stove and another one for a hot tub (the bottom breaker on the left and right sides). This is in my main backup panel which encompasses my whole house. So from this panel is the meter and a single 200 amp breaker and I believe...

One of mine is 5 years old and outdoors (see my profile pic). I've basically done nothing to it except clean out the spiderwebs every few weeks. It has some dirt stains from the rain but it wipes off with my finger. I wouldn't worry about it unless people will be doing something around it with...

Thanks! I'm working to get the plans submitted. With your best guess how much room could I use in this essential loads panel assuming it comes back as the sticker isn't needed?

Tesla did my second Powerwall too. But physically I don't see how it's any different from adding loads to any subpanel. I don't mind asking until I find someone who will do it. I'm more concerned about them all telling my system is full of loads. Edit: originally Tesla was going to create...

I had a 7.5kW solar array with one Powerwall installed in Sept 2017. Now a couple of weeks ago I had a second Powerwall added. I have 3 spots for breakers in my main 200 amp panel and had all 3 filled up. Now with 2 Powerwalls I have a single 200 amp breaker feeding a 200 amp subpanel "backup...

When did you order yours? Is it powerwall only? I ordered a second powerwall in January and I'm still waiting to get past the initial step.

FYI if you use pvoutput scripts, they updated them: pvoutput / PVOutput Integration Service / Downloads — Bitbucket Integration Service not working for Powerwall SW Ver. 20.49.0

I want another powerwall 2 but I am waiting for battery day to make my decision.

7500 - Classic Blenders I'm not sure why they would say that if physically it's impossible to be over 3/4 on a regular 15-5 plug.

If one powerwall can power my 2hp blender (plus entire house minus AC), I can't imagine you would need more than one powerwall and even that would be overkill.
