Separate names with a comma.
DC to AC ratio is the maximum AC power produced by the inverter, compared with the DC power produced by the solar panels. Clipping is when the...
There is no inverter to route to - each panel has its own inverter! They are all routed to a "combiner", which is a set of circuit breakers and...
This is one regime where having microinverters makes it quick & easy! I just had 8 panels added to my original 27. Put on the mounts, mount the...
Your home electricity is likely cheaper than electricity you'll buy on the road, too.
Why did the inspections fail?
What is your purpose in preconditioning? If you have to go to a Supercharger and want minimum time there, or you need maximum regen braking right...
Two things to think about: Is a larger inverter (e.g., Solar Edge 10 kW) available? It would be a shame to waste all that extra power in the...
TEG = Tesla Energy Gateway. If you log into your gateway and go to the SUMMARY page, you will see a line that says NETWORK ETHERNET,...
TEG apparently saves the login in a cookie. If you set your browser to NOT delete cookies from it, you should be able to save the login. I can...
I was able to change my password and have it stick. It shows registration complete, too.
I talked with my (non-Tesla) installer yesterday about it, and he called Tesla support. Apparently Tesla is discouraging users from logging into...
One readout is FROM the grid; the other is TO the grid. Given total production of 201, the 04 line is energy you buy from the grid, and the 40...
Only if you set it to do so.
Manual, p. 74:
The 12V outlet is rated at 12A (=144W) continuous, so it should work.
I took my AWD out for a spin yesterday, with 8,000 mi on the OEM tires, after the snow melted enough so it didn't have to plow much. I was...
I did it once last summer, to wash off the pollen. A hose-end wand & brush and a spray bottle of Simple Green (recommended by a roofer). I...
How do you know what your battery temp is?
Yes, you probably did read it somewhere, and if that somewhere was the Internet, it MUST be true! In this case, there are all kinds of rumors and...
I have 200A service and whole-house backup. Nothing that comes on automatically will draw more than 2 PWs can deliver. However, Tesla did not...
Seattle area is on Storm Watch today.
Saw that this morning; said it had updated. Rebooted the phone, and it was fine.
It will overwrite old dashcam files, but may not overwrite stored Sentry files or manually saved files. Delete them.
Does Colorado pay you for that overproduction? Washington prohibits it, by forcing the utility companies to zero out production credit every year...
The answer lies in the 3rd method of heat transfer - radiation! A clear black night sky is VERY cold, so enough heat can be radiated up to the...
It happens often to me. I think it's the switch on the stalk - it has to be pushed ALL the way to engage, and I can feel a bit of a 'click' when...
To each his own... When my system was first installed, I used the PWs overnight. However, I kept the reserve at 50-70% to guard against outages...
You may find out that you will be charged for the electricity you push to the grid... Some non-net-metering meters have 'tamper detection' that...
I would do a power-off reboot (Power Cycling the Vehicle, manual p. 52).
Mine are in the basement, in an old utility room now used only for storage. Why do you hate the idea?
No; not enough. A picture with your description of its operation is not a reasonable reference, especially since your opinion is counter to every...
Can you post some references, please?
IIRC, bypass diodes work between individual solar cells or groups of cells within a panel, NOT for the entire panel. They prevent a partially...
If it is in PARK, the parking brake is activated. That is the definition of PARK for the Tesla.
You need optimizers on each panel so one shaded panel doesn't bring down the whole string. Your installer should have been able to tell you that,...
A couple minutes of backfeeding the grid should do no harm, as long as there is no coincidental grid outage. I did it differently: Turn on...
Maybe you can find out what Tesla's criteria are for whole-house backup... I have 2 PWs and whole-house backup. However, Tesla did not install...
I would not (did not) spend $6000 more for a harsher ride and slightly better performance. The AWD is already a rocketship, and you may decide...
Your solution may be to back up all but the AC.
Spec sheet sez max continuous output current is 32A, which is 7680W @240V, so your reported 7.9KW is nominal.
Have you tried a Power Off reboot (manual p. 52)?
I found specs for my old meter that said it had 'tamper protection'...
It may serve as a data point if you change tires, for example. It may not be immediately useful to you, but may be useful to someone, sometime...
Biggest practical problem is that your current meter may see outgoing current as tampering, and charge you double for it!
First post, which you posted 7 MINUTES before this one, is still there... If insurance companies in the UK are anything like the US, there is a...
I wonder, though, if the power supplies in your equipment are rated to operate normally with those frequencies. The ATX12V Power Supply Design...
Dunno 'bout "best", but I use the Cyberpower 1500PFCLCD. The PFC designation means they have true sine wave output and work with newer computer...
18 KW is only 75 Amps at 240V...
When the alert pops up, touch it with your finger to set it to the car seat mode.
It all depends on what is on each of the panels, and how much of that you are actually using all/most of the time. I have 2 PW on a 200A service,...
