    4 kW Tesla solar install (with existing solar) and Powerwall addition and what I learned

    If I were you I would not email them (or further) about paying via cc ... just call the number on that thread about paying with cc over phone (sorry I do not have it). As thread indicates and my experience paying that way last Jan it seems a grey area for them that they possibly may deny exists...

    How come power changeover was not seamless during power outage blip?

    agree kilawatt or similar that shows hz is a good way to see how YOUR system behaves off grid as PW approaches "capacity" .. mine had a behavior i had not read about on these boards. My system would begin "flirting" w/ a higher freq above 60hz .. not smoothly raising it but raising for moment...

    Solar Panel Skirts require a proprietary tool

    i agree with this ... i have seen so many different types of bits etc .. hard to believe tesla would truly have used a proprietary bit / fastener .. perhaps something just not seen before by the solar person you used ?

    SF Bay area Powerwall install problems

    @jjrandorin is spot on .. difficult to escalate a problem within Tesla in anyway most of us are accustom... I have tried with an issue that is minor compared to yours but non the less frustrating.. and have gotten almost nowhere The consensus seems to be the quality of Tesla's installs is...

    The sound that Tesla solar inverter makes

    I was not keeping up on the inverter thread otherwise I would have known liquid cooled 😆 .... duh hence sound

    The sound that Tesla solar inverter makes

    interesting .. is this noise unique to Tesla branded inverter vs solaredge etc? I have heard the pumping noise of powerwalls when they are rapidly charging or discharging ... which is cool was not aware inverter made noise

    "Your solar referral award check has been processed"

    Curious also since I was looking again at my documents. Did @Uncle Paul see the $100 credit on invoice or purchase agreement, or elsewhere ? ... I have yet to get the $400 check but I’m chasing this $100 credit 😆

    Tesla Solar Loan Craziness [Beaverton, OR]

    i agree for most hard pulls do not result in change in credit that would affect us .. again for me its the principle of it .. but to each their own

    Tesla Solar Loan Craziness [Beaverton, OR]

    This is sadly typical bad communication on Tesla energy part and sort of par for the course... but .. i agree with you .. this is too far .. I would not allow them to do full credit inquiry etc if they (tesla or finance co) are at fault .just on principle .. or at least in this case i feel Tesla...

    Learn from my mistakes... lookback at my botched installation (NorCal PG&E Territory)

    i think what annoys ppl most (or a least from what i see from outside looking in .. i'm on SCE) is the hypocrisy of PG&E .. spending in inordinate amount of time and money guilting people about what a reasonable person would believe is normal use but then making it difficult both financially...

    "Your solar referral award check has been processed"

    no i think it is assumed referral would be as prob orig intended ... some other tesla owner (solar or vehicle) refers you to solar .. ppl just tried "self-referral" at some point and found it worked (mostly) also if vehicle purshases in past are any indication may be difficult to add a referral...

    "Your solar referral award check has been processed"

    i just entered my referral code from my model 3 (one i would txt someone else) when i purchased the solar you would have had to enter referral code / ID during solar purchase or purchase would have gone thru without any referral i do not have check yet but referral shows in my "loot box"

    SolarEdge extended warranty poll

    i will pass on the extended warranty on mine. Only because extended warrenties generally have deductibles etc they are money makers for the retailer / manufact not done as favor to consumer .. and due to the bathtub curve on new items. thats just me

    Using a Credit Card or Paypal to pay for Tesla Solar

    Powerwall control

    i agree no min ... i just used 2kw as example powerwall will charge with any amount of pv beyond what home demands at moment ..(this included ev charging lumped in with house use) i have also seen 0.1kw going to my two powerwalls .. this of course does almost nothing to charge them
  24. Electrph

    Powerwall control

    i believe there is a setting in TEG (compenent needed w/ power wall) that allows you to set tesla ev to start charge when powerwall at 90% .. not sure if can adjust this as this is based on what i have read here since i still do not have access to app :rolleyes:
  25. Electrph

    Powerwall control

    Not 100 % if it is same system behavior in Uk as the states but I essentially do what you are stating, I believe. I am also assuming your ev is a Tesla. My system is set for self powered .. when sun rises I may have from 75 down to 50% in powerwalls depending on night use. I start charging car...

    Roof Removal & Prep: 3/8, Roof Install: 3/22, Powerwall Install: 3/24

    Well sounds like you have an abundance of the key trait needed to do business with Tesla energy ... patience I would 100% agree with you and not give up a power wall and have the limitations of just one Good luck with your install

    3 months since PTO: Pleasantly surprised by system output vs initial expectations. Pointless nerd stuff inside.

    Weird, my home experienced a brief energy dip; neighbors were not affected

    question for you @holeydonut .. have you tried going truly off grid (shut off utility ) reason i ask is on my system (two pw / pv) when off grid, utility breaker off ..(and this is not behavior when pw near capacity) ac freq behaves diff .. i watched on a monitor it jumps constantly from about...

    Weird, my home experienced a brief energy dip; neighbors were not affected

    @bob_p sounds like reasonable explanation if you were on grid power at time, however if I read correctly you were already completely on battery power ? I don’t believe you should have seen any interruption if grid power were even momentarily interrupted

    5 battery install Lake of the Pines

    5 battery install Lake of the Pines

    ok so now i'm seeing you in a mad scientist lab coat at halloween flipping blade disconnects .. "it's alive!!" seriously though the relative complexity of your system is intriguing .. can't wait for photos of all final components

    Does your router need to be on 24/7 for all this to work?

    OP mentioned gateway so i assumed meant solar / and or powerwall system ? OP you may want to specify if this is the case and whether you have PV only or powerwall(s) as well.. since this effects reporting to tesla .. may influence answer to your question

    Tesla - damaged neighbor property

    You gotta be kidding me. Electricians won't add a Tesla wall connector on the backup side of ESS

    was not a deep thought process . just quick observation .on geography .actually i should have put quotes on "legit" .. likely Hawaii may not have legitamate rationale for fees / etc
