Suppose you could turn off the powerwalls and hit the e-stop switch on the panels to keep you grid only.

For the automation I highly recommend ChargeHQ, this is exactly what it does. Got the wife's MY using solar during the day if available (set a minimum solar production you want to see before charging and to start after PW is full) and if it hasn't fully charged during the day it will restart...

Same, the devs working on the Powerwall Dashboard finally restored the per string data that was lost on the last firmware update. Happy to see that info to health check my system due to it's split North/South nature. Crazy how much effort people put into the community and their projects.

Just barely missed it, but our 1 yr PTO anniversary just went by! Made 7,028 kWh of solar during that time vs the 6,748 kWh /yr estimated by Tesla (and 7,059 kWh estimated by PvWatts!). Nice to see how it performed after a year without throttling 🙂 Could've been more if the roof vents had been...

I do now with the latest update, even under "Charge Stats" for the vehicle it gives an option to sign up to Tesla Electric 😮

We did better on Wednesday, 29.2 kWh's which is 2 kWh's shy of my personal record. On a side note, who else enjoying the free FSD trial? Been playing it with it all week, so far: 0/5 Home > Work ~22mi commutes without having to disengage (usually when exiting or getting on a turning lane)...

Sounds like there’s no hope then. Just gonna focus on covering all the bases in regards to wear and tear. Thanks for the input 👍

I monitor my PW using Powerwall Dashboard and it has marked small blackouts for when a firmware update gets installed (SoC dropping to 0% etc.). Used to be able to review alerts and other vitals before the December update and the errors would line up with the firmware update. At night I'm on...

Wow really Houston went and banned garage installs? Glad I got mine done when I did but looks like I won’t ever be able to add another PW. Damn things are easy enough to install might just do it on my own eventually.

I’ve disabled storm watch and set reserve to 0%. For these types of thunderstorms that blow by we usually have short outages, and it won’t charge fast enough from the alert going on to make a difference. Not much to fear inside the loop vs our suburbanite buddies.

Still working fine for me on latest 2024.2.7

In other news, got a new family member! My wife finally did a thing and went with an RWD 2024 MY! She will be using it for a few errands and shopping but not much else since she works from home. Went back and revived ChargeHQ to have the MY charge during the day with solar and for free at night...

I'm with Amigo and have been with them for years before even getting solar. I had no idea they were the same.

For those that have returned leases, did anyone notice if they stay at the SC they're turned in at? Or how quickly the vehicle will show up for sale in inventory? We can't buy at lease end but maybe we can stalk the SC to purchase the vehicle when it hits inventory (just a thought but no idea...

Part numbers seem to be all over the place, my original one (non-data) was 1656787-30-A, and I replaced that with a TPARTS data enable one from Amazon last year that now had the USB-C ports fail (no power or data). Contacted the SC and ordered 1755200-00-B for USD 25 which they agreed to bring...
