Separate names with a comma.
I just discovered that Tesla has added some urban (75kw) chargers to the old 150kw in Kingman. Seems like a good cost effective solution for a...
I haven't been paying attention to this thread recently but just revisited and found much of interest. My goal is to just use the H6 grid tie....
These people looked VERY promising; String Optimizers - Ampt However, the response to a query was "Thank you for your email. We do not deploy...
I have a transformerless 7kw 3 tracker SMA that worked pretty well for a while. It quit working and I never devoted myself to dealing with it's...
Do you have suggestions on less troublesome transformerless? Something with variable isolation threshold or defeatable? Using ground mount and...
If anyone can identify a source, I'm all ears.
Thanks but I don't "a" inverter. I need 10+. I've tried quite a few and found the old transformer inverters are trouble free compared to the...
Incidentally, I've had good success using inverters (both string and micro) that do "double duty" with both east and west facing panels.
This is a topic of high interest to me right now. Some 5kw surplus SE inverters have come on the market recently for <$400. I BADLY need to...
Well, I have to say that I've had a very poor PowerWall experience also. My very early PW deposit is still sitting in Tesla's coffers; three...
I wonder if Tesla is considering offering perks for early adopters? I've bought four, the first ordered in December 2012. The first three...
For what its worth: Last summer I drove my ~300 mile 3 from Missoula up the east side of Flathead Lake through Glacier NP and on to Ft MacLeod....
I FINALLY got one of these hooked up! It seemed to almost work. It complained about, as I recall, line frequency and line voltage. From other...
Even though I have a PW2, I'm not "up to speed" on Power Wall lore. Thanks for mentioning that there are/were DC PowerWalls. So, this "H6...
I can't add much here but will watch with interest this thread. I have two of these inverters, neither yet in service. My interest is a grid tie...
I just spent an hour or so trying to find. Came at it from two directions. Gave up. Charged 50 miles worth at Sapphire.
I think I've reached a stopping point on this project. I can augment from two power sources in three or four different ways. Willie: PowerWall...
I searched for mention of Linux and found only a report of this not working with either Chrome or Firefox under Ubuntu. My experience is the same...
Progress. I received: Hot DC12V to 36V 10A 20A 30A Step-up Boost Converter Power Supply Module Car | eBay and tested overnight using two M215...
I come here from the V2H supplement thread: Powerwall 2.0 Backup Runtime Extender I find the information linked to here HIGHLY useful. Thanks!...
Thanks! I had concluded that the Tesla was monitoring 12v demand somewhere down stream from my battery tap. I was intending to look for that CT...
The second night test of the Tesla (Model 3) was not successful. I ran the car in "Dog Mode" hoping that would allow the car to give up more...
Thanks, I just ordered a 1080w. gpez pointed me toward other, persumably higher quality boosts but I got sidelined when they tried to hit me with...
A little more testing. Some more insight. A few conclusions. No revelations. Down at the bottom. Willie: Micro Grid and augmentation I've...
About a year ago I knew they were not "charging for charging" in Amarillo. I'm surprised they are not yet charging. Coming west to east with...
Yes. Pardon my laziness. I think I will to continue to use "boost" to mean "upverter" "buck" "DC-DC" and the other terms that mean the same.
Exactly. An additional PW will cost at least $5k and will be used a very small fraction of the time. Once a year. Once a lifetime. Never....
AFAIK, all grid tie inverters can be turned off by the PW through frequency shifting; M215s are an example. For the purposes being discussed...
The first of the 12vdc -> 240vac grid tie inverters arrived yesterday. I tested overnight. Input: 14vdc and 250 watts; power was significantly...
The purpose of the exercise is to take up some of the load on the PW battery. As long as the PW battery is not completely charged or discharged,...
It is quite likely you will have the troubles mentioned if you boost 12vdc to ~24vdc. The "Eco Worthy" is not likely to be any more trouble free...
I'm interested in learning why your 36v -> M215 experiment failed. At first, this suggestion failed to pique my interest. But, having failed to...
As low as about 16 up to about 35.
I really look forward to testing 700-800 watts out of the car's DC-DC. If all goes well, maybe three of those 250/500 watt inverters. The nice...
Many thanks to miimura for starting this thread and bringing to my attention the possibilities. I have unsuccessfully struggled to get it...
I've been diddling with this for several nights with notable lack of success. ~14v from imiev -> supposed 1800w upverter -> M215. Upverter...
I did try the "Self Registration" (perhaps again) a few months ago. Much like speaking to a fence post. My PW is now about 9 months old and I'm...
Neat! Super neat! Worked for me though I monitor my PW's web page of the time. I have it "cast" to an otherwise unused TV. I've go read the...
Can you explain the statement about "API"? I have a stiuation where my peak PV production may not be accepted by my utility supplied tranformer....
For off grid operation, I believe the PW will attempt to turn off PV generation by shifting frequency when it finds more power supply than demand....
Looking ahead to the time when this scheme, with M215s, might be proven to work: I don't hope to automate operation to the PowerWall level but I...
For M125s, the inverters turn themselves off when voltage reaches around 260. For off grid, where the PW is supplying the grid signal, the PW will...
eBay. Prices are best when you buy a box of 12. I envision about 4-5 M215s on a single EV to give a boost of around 1kw.
I am much taken with this idea. I have a good supply of M215s and intend to do some testing in coming weeks. I hope to get 4-5 M215s working on...
Same here. I eagerly await multiple cars! More feature creep or requests for information: 1) Give the app more screen real estate? That is,...
Same here. I'm running a recent Mint and need more detailed installation instruction.
Thanks! Though I'm not sure what "TBC" means. 2019 Solar Batteries: Sonnen, Tesla, Aquion, LG Chem | EnergySage It is not clear that the...
Good points, all. Since Tesla has denied me app access, I don't have that to lose. Apart from a customer's internet connection, I believe the...
I got a single message from Tesla Energy on this problem and finally resorted to doing an "installer configuration" myself. That went pretty well...
I had thought that I had done that in the distant past. But, trying again, I find my record of the needed numbers had a typo. Anyway, at your...
