    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    Excuse my ignorance on this...Will setting the Conductor Export Control at 32A allow me to still get the 5kW continuous and 7kW peak as stated on the technical data sheet or does this cap the performance of the powerwall in some way?

    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    Update: So as a potential solution, since the PV line diagram had 22 panels in 1 bank and 8 panels in another bank, I decided to run the 22 panels through the gateway and terminate on the MSP bus. The remaining 8 panels will go to the solar ready breaker, removing that backfeed from the MSP...

    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    We decided to go with the solution provided by Vines (thank you!). Once the gateway is installed, will the app tell you how much energy is returned to the load center?

    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    By the way, the single Powerwall is meant to power only critical loads for a short duration during a power outage and not meant to provide whole house backup.

    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    With a Solar ready load center you do not have to derate the panel because the solar breaker bypasses the busbar. That was the whole point. It back feeds back to the main input. The issue from Siemens is that the solar breaker cannot receive backfeed AND push power to charge the Powerwall. I...

    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    I just moved into a house and contracted with a Solar Company in CA just before the Net Energy Metering deadline passed. The house is a large one and I am contracted to receive 30 400-watt panels (Panasonic) with Enphase IQ8 inverters. I am also adding a Powerwall 2. My solar installer and my...

    Update 2018.50.6: playing MP3 from USB stopped working

    @memcd, I have the same issue. Would rather have playable mp3’s on an improved player GUI than another TeslAtari game or fart noises.

    Is this a good deal??

    Agreed, motor value in P85D is better, but fixed on AP2 low miles, and new front fascia (don't want aftermarket front either)

    screen discoloration

    Mine "Golden Ring" just started a couple weeks ago. 3/2017 MS. Had temp shifts, but not huge since I am in California. Scheduled for 12.5K mile service in 2 days. Worried they will not have parts to replace at that time. Bet it was a bad batch of screens.

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    The laws have changed significantly in the past couple years (that post was from 2015) and most laws are based on height rather than weight. In California, the minimum height is 4'9 or taller. Here is the ruling: Children under the age of 8 must be secured in a car seat or booster seat in the...

    Picking up my S tomorrow!

    After 6 years of watching the development from concept to reality, 4 years of hearing my brother talk about how awesome the car is, 1 year mulling over the decision to make the large purchase, and 3 months of actual waiting after the order was placed, I picked up my Tesla Model S 75D last...
