I don't think I am tech-savvy enough to install the dashboard, how can I read the unit temperatures?

I appreciate the suggestions. My Powerwall is on the side of my house and is shaded from 2 to 4pm and from 6 to 8pm, it is not hot to the touch. The performance is the same from 2pm to 8pm. I am manually switching from TBC from 8pm to 2pm and Self Powered from 2pm to 8pm during peak so the...

Thank you for your support and information. Last night while in Self Powered Mode the Powerwall put out a peak of 3.7kw. My question for Tesla is why was the Powerwall able to provide 5kw in June when it was just as hot. Really the worst part is Tesla doesn't provide an escalation path...

I live in Phoenix and have SRP so the buy/sell difference on-peak to 3X, 8 cents off-peak, 28 cents on-peak up until 8pm so the PV is not generating much if any energy and the system should use PW. My issue is that when it is hot, like in the summer, the PW throttles its output to 1.0kw, both...

I live in Phoenix and purchased Tesla solar and a single Powerwall with the intention that the Powerwall energy would be used during on-peak times when the solar is not generating enough energy. On-peak energy cost in Phoenix is three times higher than off-peak in the summer so the biggest...

I appreciate you explanation of how Tesla says it should work, this is just one example how that is not the case. The simulated off-grid did not reach out to the grid when the PW couldn't handle it. The house brown out'ed every time the HVAC motor tried to start. It did not go out to AT&T...

I have four seasons created in my utility rate plan based on the utility on-peak/off-peak price structure, particularly through the summer when rates are three times higher than other seasons. My Powerwall is not outputting more than 1.0kw during peak time so most of the power for my house is...

Tesla Energy is only available for chat M-F between 7am-2pm (my time). If they refer you to Tier-2 they have 15 days to respond. My Powerwall issue is now going on week five without resolution because Tier-2 said it is working fine and closed the ticket so I called and actually reached on agent...

I put the Powewall in Self-Powered mode and was able to get it to output more than 1.0kw to partially offset grid use. So maybe the Powerwall itself if physically OK, but the Tesla control algorithms are terrible.

I tried your recommendation, it did not go well. I switched off both HVAC units, house drawing 0.5kw and went Off Grid. Turned on one HVAC that normally draws 2.7kw and the PowerWall was unable to start the unit and caused a brown out which took out my wifi internet. The system cannot go back...

I haven't been brave enough to do that. I don't want to damage any of my HVAC equipment during the hot Phoenix summer.

Starting in July during peak grid energy cost from 2pm to 8pm my Powerwall outputs at most 1.0kw and any shortfall from solar comes from the grid. In the afternoon this can be as high as 6.0kw demand. During this time the Powerwall has from 50 to 100% charge. There is plenty of stored energy...
