[ATTACH] Is there or what is the best discussion group for Starlink Beta testers? I live in Mariposa County, CA, ~37° N and surprisingly got my...
I had the impression that green circles were active or operational, but yellow circles were still maneuvering to their final orbit and were not...
When are the satellites activated? Do they have to be in their final orbit (green circles on the map) before they can transmit and receive from...
Thank you. That explains things! I'll have to discuss with my installer.
Yes, the TEG uses FSPC, raising the frequency as the Powerwall gets fully charged, and most inverters setup for grid use simply shut down when...
FSPC stands for Frequency Shift Power Control and is, as I understand it, the mechanism via which battery systems can curtail solar production, at...
Looking at the documentation, it seems as if at least one of my SMA inverters will go with full FSPC, but I was told earlier on this forum that...
Yep!
Unfortunately, I suspect most inverters already in place don't scale back their production using FSPC, but just shutdown for a bit and then try...
I had suggested coordinated car charging to solve the solar overproduction problem on this forum some time ago, but was told it was not practical...
Solar overproduction can certainly be a problem during a power outage and if unmanaged, will lead to no solar production. You need a place to...
Reversed CTs can be corrected in the configuration wizard until they can be put right physically.
The Find Us website does show a Q2 Supercharger in "Fresno". I don't believe the location of the shape on the map for this install indicates the...
jjrandorin description is correct. I was reacting to the statement that seemed to imply that there was no progress in 2 years. As to skipping...
My installation is now complete with 2 Powerwalls and the generator and although the generator currently gets little use, it is great to know that...
Here is a thread that I started some time ago when I wanted to install my PowerWall2 with a generator: PowerWall 2 Interface with a Generator...
All the ash from the fires up here were an issue for my panels as well.
Looks like the rain going to make it up to Mariposa. Thanks for sending it this way. My 11 kW solar is certainly not at full output right...
I think that one of the technical issues is the stability of the frequency of the generator. The other issue is that for most of us, we want to...
[ATTACH] When we built our house 10 years ago, I had an 18 kW generator installed as well as 7 kW of solar. I have a propane generator as it is...
Thanks, but It typically only runs a few well separated times a day in the summer. My winter heating demand is higher.
You have to be careful here with the definition of heat pump. It is true that an air source heat pump becomes inefficient when the temperature...
From the Tesla app, it seems that unit uses either 5 or 9 kW when running. When it kicks in, it runs for not too many minutes before turning off....
I know that there are Federal tax incentives for ground source heat pumps that I don't believe apply to air source. That should make ground...
Just FYI, my geothermal system uses a pond loop.
I have a WaterFurmace Synergy 3D 5-ton unit that heats and cools air and heats domestic water. it works fine with my 2 Powerwalls using their...
If you need AC and are on EV2-A, then pre-cooling is a viable strategy where you set your thermostats to cool, e.g. 2° F below your desired...
[ATTACH] The optimum angle depends on many thing, most importantly your latitude. And that optimum angle changes with time of year – a lower...
I got the letter a while ago, but first noticed that I must have been switched from EV-A to EV2-A when my daily energy cost went from -$8 a day to...
My switch happened on my billing date.
From what I understand, PG&E does not make their money off of selling or distributing electricity, but rather from building new plants. So it is...
When we were setting up our all electric home for solar 12 years ago now, my first inclination was to set the goal of net zero energy or...
Sierra!
While we are discussing energy efficiency relative to AC in general, the other factor is airtightness. As suggested by Watts_Up, loss of either...
Or just on a daily basis, one wants use the AC to make things reasonably comfortable on hot days without using juice from the grid during the very...
I agree that cooling down the house as much as possible during the off peak late morning and early afternoon times is a good strategy, and then...
I don't get this question. It would seem to me that the lower I set the reserve, the less likely I am to run out of battery during peak times and...
If I don't use the AC at all then I essentially never run out of battery during peak time. If I get too ambitious with the AC, I can run out in...
Good questions. I looked at my last bill, July 2, and it listed me as EV-A. I got the rate plan chance letter a few weeks before that and had...
Thanks for your thoughts on this. I live in rural area of Mariposa County just above the snow line (not in July), so my need for AC is less than...
Here is the energy use for the first part of July. I agree that change or rate plan should not effect the energy use, but suddenly PG&E thinks I...
[ATTACH] I tried to attach this to the original post and then to a new post with no luck. now for some reason it works. The main problem is...
As mentioned above I got the dreaded letter about being switched to EV2-A at the end of June. I look at my PG&E account almost daily and up until...
I also just got the dreaded conversion from EV-A to EV-2A letter. I am also currently NEM1 and hope to stay that way. While they brag about how...
My LED lights are a variety of brands. I agree that it might be my Insteon dimmers not the lights, as I mentioned above, but replacing those...
Thanks for the quick reply and sharing your experience. Unfortunately based on today's testing the LEDs blinked if the frequency was above 61 Hz,...
A few pages back I documented the problem I was having during an early morning power failure. Although there was minimal solar output, the PW2...
I am pleased to now have the ability monitor the PW from my laptop. Perhaps my problem earlier was that I may have never properly finished the...
Here is my aggregates via the https route. I hope this help unravel the mystery of my 5th icon....
I went out to near the Gateway and logged in to the TEG, got on to the gateway and found the local IP address, switched to Wi-Fi and now I am on....
