Sorry for the long lapse time posting.... Here is my situation and why I was looking to see what installers could help. I already have one power installed (couple of years back via SGIP) and am now looking to have a second referral one added. I can likely handle the permitting and even maybe...

Are there any certified powerwall installers on this forum?

AC coupled Panasonic Evervolt?

Out of interest, what price did it go for in the end?

They actually had rebates on them last year also. I got a $500 credit from SCE. I did pretty well considering that I also got it when it went on sale for $1000 at some point, and also I claimed the $300 Fed credit too. All in all including the parts I paid to install, it cost me about $400...

Also consider the Panasonic Evervolt. There are AC and DC coupled versions, and the plus version has some specs that are better in some regards than a single powerwall. Its also expandable with extra batteries.

I replaced my old 13 SEER with a 3 Ton Lennox 20 SEER variable speed heat pump a couple of months ago, and so far I am very impressed with not only how quiet the thing is, but also how little energy it uses. Air quality and comfort also seems better, and I didn't even do the HEPA filter add on...

Those inTech campers seem to have a really high tongue weight versus the trailer weight and is over spec for even the 19 or 21" wheels. You would need to do something to add weight at the back of the trailer to try and bring it closer. Ideally 10-15% is the magic figure for tongue weight...

My guess is that either the tires on the 20" wheels, or the wheels themselves are the limiting factor. Perhaps the induction wheel itself is supplied by somebody else, and may have been deemed weaker under the torque + weight of the added trailer, versus the 19 or 21". I guess if it was...

@cwied What are you using to interface with the API? I’ve been looking to set something up myself to automate this thats not too involved. I was looking the other day and saw one or two python based solutions, and I guess you’d use that via a Raspberry Pi? Interestingly, when I deleted my...

Although I have the Homelink module in my car, I sometimes like to open it a bit further out from the house so that its already open when I get there. Since I had been dabbling around with home automation for a while, I built this: It's not too difficult to do if you have a good home...

Thanks, I will likely reduce the price a bit I guess.

Hi all, since I'm now going to be working from home for the foreseeable future, and technically we only need one car now, I'm potentially looking to sell our model S 70 in order to limit exposure during these times and pay off the other car. I'm sure I wont post all of the information that...

You can already do DER programs without the need for any specific EVSE with a Tesla. I've been using Ohm Connect in California for a few years and they are already linked up to my cars via a Tesla API to turn charging off if they call a reduction event. Ohm Connect aside (way more lucrative...

Hopefully they release a higher power version for anyone with dual chargers. I think the wifi is required now to get certain subsidies in certain countries and also it allows for better management of load sharing of more chargers, rather than the somewhat limited (4 think) previously via RS485.
