Notice from Solaredge. Has anyone changed out the modem yourself? Solaredge will provide new modem for free Your system includes a built-in 12-year cellular data plan, that connects to a 2G network. This allows your system to communicate between your system, your installer, and the SolarEdge...

do you guys believe this study? Guy in another forum is attributing to autopilot https://www.lendingtree.com/insurance/brand-incidents-study/

PG&E is claiming only about 5% of their electricity is sourced from NG. How is this possible when Caliso shows about 40% from NG. I know Caliso has SDG&E and SCE, but wouldn't the mix be about the same acrosss the entire grid...

The app is very slow when moving between screens. When I tap "Energy" to get to the graphs, it takes about a minute to load the graphs and then similar time to return to main screen. Not sure this is relevant, but it started happening after Storm Watch ended

What do you guys think of this article? Of Course no mention of subsidies to oil industry. Obviously the source has an agenda, but would like to point out the fallacies https://www.texaspolicy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2023-10-TrueCostofEVs-BennettIsaac.pdf

My Accounts and Services has been "Temporarily Unavailable" for at least a week now. That's where I download my B&W bill. Anyone else see same problem?

I recently tried the solar calculator form PG&E's website. I believe it is supposed to be using NEM3 rules. I did not upload my usage data as I already have solar. I entered a monthly average bill of $400. Everything else was consistent to my house. I also entered that I had gas heating...

not sure if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it. For the proposed new income based fee, will that be applied to all customers including those that have NEM1 adn NEM2? And, will the fee be independent of solar credits, i.e., you have to pay the full monthly fee no matter what your...

I want to check my PWs max charge as I think one of them is down close to the warranty threshhold. I have done this before, but quite a while ago. I logged into the TEG and all I can get is the Summary screen. No where to go to the details on each PW What am I doing wrong?

mostly very mild June - even some rain Yesterday I used 9.2 kWh from the grid and sent 43.3 kWh back Saturday was cloudy so not as good Friday 7.6 kWh from grid and 51.1 back

I'm with PG&E. I have 11 kW array, 3 PWs, and an EV. I will soon be switched from EV1-A to EV2-A. I have optimized my PW usage to get my annual true-up ~zero. Any tips on how I need to adjust to achieve the same with EV2-A?

So our area (East of Sac) was getting battered with storms and I am out of town in Bay area (also getting battered). Step daughter staying at our house and I went to the app to make sure power was still on. App shows Server not connected message. I click on the message and it wants me to...

moderators may move this, but I thought it was funny my anti-EV, anti green "friends" posted this on another forum I guess its from SNL https://iplayerhd.com/player/video/dae6a69a-adb1-4692-aaba-cff7e6bcd493

is there a back story on this? https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/canadian-man-says-tesla-locked-out-until-changes-battery

Our forecast starting tomorrow is 104, 103, 103, 106, 108, 107, 102, 101 Its actually dropped a few degrees from the 111 previously forecast for Monday Thinking about putting my PWs on backup only in case of blackout, but that would only hurt the grid. Anyone else changing their behavior?

I had edited and setup my own Peak Time and eliminated all Partial Peak as I did not like the way the app managed that. I was going to adjust it, but I no longer see that ability. I have not chosen my Rate Plan in the new app. If I go down that path, will it let me edit the Peak Time period?

I'm curious how many of you can go Off Grid in the Winter. I have 11.8 kW solar with 3 PWs and no way I can stay off grid in Winter. For example, I used 1100 kWh in December. If you can go multiple days off grid in winter, please state your PV size and # of PWs

neighbor called to see if we had power. Their generator had kicked in. I had not noticed any flicker or anything, but as we were talking, got the Tesla alert that PWs were powering house. Then moments late got message from PG&E. Small outage, ~200 people. Expect power back up around 7pm...

I'm noticing that my PWs (I have 3) lose 2-3% overnight. I've had them 2 years now and do not remember that happening before. So they power house during peak and stop at my reserve setting. Then in the morning I notice the SOC is 2 to 3% below Reserve.

my Solaredge inverter went off line today. It is working, but not reporting anything to the Solaredge Monitoring site. Could it be this or just a coincidence? https://news.yahoo.com/millions-old-phones-laptops-smart-210600565.html

My SW got activated due to Red Flag Warning in NWS and PW charged from grid this morning PG&E is also warning about PSPS for about 40,000 Customers. I'm not in that warning area

My billing period ends on the 21st of each month. For the July 21 ending period, the bill usually posts a couple days later. This month the bill didn't post until yesterday 8/3 and the bill only included gas charges. No mention of the electrical connection charge

I've had my 3 PWs about 18 months now so I've gone through an annual NEM cycle. Last summer, on Cost Saving, I set my Reserve to between 30% and 50% depending on the forecast. The higher reserve on extreme hit because I don't trust PG&E infrastructure in hot weather. I did a good amount of...

from the app main page, I can go to Powerflow and Performance, but cannot open Backup history or Customize. Anyone else having this problem today?

I've been getting calls that my phone thinks is spam. I answered a couple and they started off saying they want to make sure I got all of my solar tax credits. I hung up on them, but today got another one and decided to ask a few questions. They didn't really give me many details, but I did...

I have a Loot Box show up in my App. Never had it before. I don't have a Tesla vehicle When I try to open it I get an error

Summer Reliability Assessment does not look good for California, but I think we already knew that. Glad I have PWs, but not wishing this upon my neighbors https://www.nerc.com/news/Headlines%20DL/SRA%20infographic%2026MAY21.pdf

To our Canada Powerwall owners. Can you charge from the grid in Canada?

no posts about this yet https://electrek.co/2021/05/24/tesla-updates-powerwall-energy-plan-virtual-power-plant-integration/

Anyone get Stormwatch yet? Saw on news that gusts up to 50 mph Our forecast in Sac area has gusts to 25 mph, but no weather warning. Strange because 2 weeks ago we had red flag warning with similar wind forecasts

Didn't even notice. Although I did lose internet connection briefly. I did not connect the dots on that until now when I just looked at the app and see we are on backup Power has been out over 2 hours. Not sure why.

now we have earthquakes in Truckee to be concerned about. PWs are the best

I'm on a NEM rate schedule with PG&E. My normal monthly electrical charge is ~$10. for the grid connection fee. The rest either credit or amount due is pushed to the annual true-up. However, this month they are showing an $80. net charge. My net usage was negative and the NBCs are also...

I track my production against what my installer provided as estimated production by month. Not sure what sw they used. Impact of our drought is very clear. My Feb production was 44% greater than predicted. My March production was 52% greater. Would rather have the rain than the production

just got this; anyone else? Thank you for participating in the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP). At the request of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), Verdant Associates and Enghouse Interactive (Survox) have been contracted to research SGIP applicants’ experience with...

I'm on EVA-1. I have 2.5 years left on Plan before they switch me to EVA-2. I have 11.8 kW Solar plus 3 PWs Turning in my EV tomorrow from lease. We will probably replace with another EV, but with all this lock down, not anxious to get one soon. Is there an advantage to going off of EV Plan...

saw this posted on another Forum I belong to. Obviously not very supportive of solar/wind/battery I found that some of the analogies were not apples to apples, but what other faults can you find? What's Wrong with Wind and Solar?

The NWS issued a geomagnetic-storm watch that's effective through Friday. It warns of a potentially "strong" storm on Thursday in which electric and magnetic interference from the solar particles could interfere with power grids, GPS, and radio communications. It could even affect satellites'...

My PWs are discharging like it is a regular weekday not a Holiday

Here are my comparison numbers so far. I got PTO in May of this year. However, system was operational in parts of Jan-April. I was predicting that I would save about $210/mo in the summer and $150/mo in the winter. I'm pretty close. The descrepancy iin Sept was that I installed a Heat pump...

For someone with Solar Roof, Powerwalls, and 2 Tesla EVs Tesla Tequila

My PW install was back in Dec 2019. I already had solar. I didn't get PTO until May 2020 although system was operating since solar was already installed. I finally got notication today that the SGIP check was sent. 11 months from install. 6 months from PTO

2 blips of PW sending to grid and later charging from the grid Not on Stormwatch

Screen shot is from Saturday. We had been on Stormwatch for several days. Came off SW at 3pm on Saturday. You can see PW started powering house as Peak also started at 3. However, what happened at ~5pm? Grid started charging PW during Peak rates. The SOC before SW lifted was 98%. Peak...

I posted this in the Powerwall without solar thread, but going to separate out for dicsussion Here is an interesting site for part of the grid in CA which includes PG&E. You can change the date in the graph to see past days The second graph shows "Net Demand" which they define as demand not...

Looking at a house that is totally Off Grid. Has solar and diesel generator. Not sure about batteries. I've heard that Powerwalls are not the best for totally Off Grid. Comments?

We are just outside of the PSPS warning area. Anyone impacted?

Power went out due to car running into utility pole. They had to turn off power repair There was a very brief outage in my house before PWs took over. Enough outage that modem reset and Computer monitor went off/on App showed Grid off and Solar powering house with extra charging PWs...

this could be interesting The novel material, called miscibility gap alloy (MGA), stores energy in the form of heat. MGA is housed in small blocks of blended metals, which receive energy generated by renewables such as solar and wind.

those bath floor heaters are great. Had it in our last house in the Bay Area. No AC, so our electric bill was fairly low and we did indulge Please don't go electric stove top
