    Solar panels cancelled due to concern over my roof's strength - experiences with this?

    In 2012 when I installed my solar panels, no batters until 2020, the city wanted an engineer's report that it could handle that 3lbs/ because the truss was made from 2x4s, not 2x6. It has concrete tiles on the roof by design, 10lbs/ and another 10 for workloads. My engineer had a few choice...

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    This is how mine looks like. It takes a while to show history to plot degradation or rather show on graph.

    Battery degradation feature finally working with right IP and password. ;) :D Almost gave up on it.

    New to this, Tesla energy app a little confusing, need help on MY HOME screen.

    :D You mean their batteries are not functioning properly? Should get more reliable ones.:D

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    Certainly. It operated correctly, hence the notice of 7.2.0.0 but in very slow motion so I closed it. Then just before my post, I hovered my cursor over your app in my toolbar to open it again as usual, then when I moved cursor to the app image to open in full it would not show the open page...

    Well, just checked. I am showing 7.2.0.0 but now app won't stay open.

    04.08.2024 - Solar output... Ooops, I forgot :)

    I am in the same boat, forgot it affected my area even a bit. Almost a 2 hour even dip.

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    Mine shows all four in line. Check to see if you have 7.1.2.0 update yet. May have to delete what you have and reinstall the app from the website.

    New to this, Tesla energy app a little confusing, need help on MY HOME screen.

    That 15% applies for normal operation with grid also on line. If you have a grid outage, it can go down to 0 unless you manually turn off batteries by the switch on its side. If you want better resolution, you may want to check out the thread here "Powerwall Companion." While it is still in...

    Powerwall Upgrade Denver Area

    Welcome @Frontrange PV . I have a 12-year-old Enphase system with 2 batteries added in May 2020. A number of us here Enphase systems with Tesla batteries. I had one inverter go out a couple of years ago and that replacement went out as well, also replaced with a new, free Enphase Envoy. System...

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    I need to try that again when I return home later in April as it didn't work for me in the past. Had to go next to the TEG and use that wi-fi then the TEG IP to get what you pictured.

    You mean that if I use the IP address that shows up on my wi-fi router network map for that Tesla gateway, type that IP into the address bar on my laptop, I will get the actual tesla gateway and see what is going on?
  15. charlesj

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    So there are two IPs to enter the Tesla Gateway, one at the gateway or the one showing on the router IP? When I do the one at the gateway that states not secure or whatever, it is certainly not the one showing in the wi-fi router when I look what is connected to the router.
  16. charlesj

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    I don't know for sure where that is but the 2nd line looks like a mac address, no? If so, I never see a mac address in the Gateway but I do see it when I look in the wi-fi router.

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    It is and just downloaded, no auto update.

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    While I am not the expert if that is from your home router, then this is not the right IP for the gateway. This is your router's number for it. But I could be wrong. You are up late ;)

    I knew you cannot possibly sleep now that we know you have a regular job and still do all for the app and us. Super. We have the patience of Jobe. :D :D :D

    Powerwall 2 Available Energy After 2 Years

    Many thanks. That is what I was thinking but forgot what to write after IP address. What a pain to go through to get that data. Pain for me. ;) :D

    You mean on my router at Home? Cannot do it from another router away like my sons?

    Powerwall 2 Available Energy After 2 Years

    How do I do that? The older cumbersome way of logging to gateway and typing some code?

    How does ESS handle AC voltage drop through long wiring?

    One can always use larger wires, #6 or #4 for ess voltage drop. Yes, costs more but less power is consumed by the wire. Over time, 20 years, how much?

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    I had an event on Jul 26, 12 kWh. On your apple app you can ask for a custom date for that day. Should give times on the graph.

    I also have one for Jul 26, at least they grabbed mine on that date for 12 kWh.

    San Diego Area - SDG&E Raised Rates effective 3/1/24

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    It is my first as well, but it seemed to work even with perhaps the wrong birthdate too.
  34. charlesj

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Can you see the bank info? Is it correct? Have you submitted that to Tesla before? Can you delete and re-enter? Did it ask for birth date? Two numbers, account number and routing number, all numbers including 0 at front. Doubt Tesla will claim it back.

    I am showing a pending deposit last night in my checking account the same amount Tesla has. So, from email to actual deposit is rather quick.

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    That didn't dawn on me. I would have thought that if it was in the future when pressing enter, it would give you the reason why it is wrong. My payout almost what I was able to calculate after each grid dump. About $5 less than my estimate.
  39. charlesj

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Just checked. Same here. May have put wrong birthday? Don't know how to check. Worked the first time but you have to set birth year first not last to enter.

    Yes, they do 15 minutes integration. what a difference yet same totals.

    Marin Clean Energy Solar Storage Credit

    Would 20% be enough to self-power from 9PM to next day's charging capability? If drawing from grid overnight will that cost less than that $20/mo?
  42. charlesj

    Marin Clean Energy Solar Storage Credit

    That's what it looks like. I as going to suggest to see how much you'd send to the grid for a month and then what that $20 pays per kWh.

    Interesting how Enphase graph compares with Powerwall companion at the same time of print screen of solar, yet the total is only 0.3% difference.

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    Like Enphase as it has custom dates, but you'd have to do that song and dance each month.

    2 powerwall 3s were 100% and suddenly dropped to 83% with only 0.8 kWh discharged

    It is 15 min on companion but 5 min interval on Tesla app you show in post 1. Lot of drop for 15 min that doesn't show up on consumption. Most likely a software issue otherwise, in my opinion, it would show up in consumption with a nice pike up.

    Neither did I get one, but it was less than $600. That may be the trigger.

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    Thanks. No wonder I could not figure out what you are seeing. I didn't have that energy source box checked so I didn't see that bar on the left side bottom. Then I changed resolution. Yep same thing with mine. Changed back to 1920x1080, problem goes away.

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    Would you mind posting a screenshot? I played with it, changed to your resolution, moved the height and width and full screen. Seems to work for me even with the bar at the bottom but not really sure what is cut off for you.
