This is what it did to me a Texas grid.

How did your attic get “hit with snow”?

Ask duke if they will accept export/software limit of 20kw.

Inflation…. Take the pw2’s now.

I believe PW2 can output 7 kw off grid peek.

FSD is only worth 3K in my book. Prior to trial, I thought maybe 6K. I might rent it for a long trip in the future. All this has shown me is that my camera in the cabin is busted, fsd will not work at night.

Works during day

My FSD trial started yesterday. tried it this morning, 6:00 am, and it wouldn’t engage as it was complaining that the camera was covered up. It isn’t covered, it is just dark out. Does my cabin camera need replacing? Anyone else ?

App was telling me 5 hours!

Am I the only one? Sentry mode is disabled at home, work and favorites. I’ve noticed the fan running much more often. If is very cool out, so it shouldn’t be running like it is. I think a sensor is bad or something.

Just trying to get solar back up! 16Gw shut down because PW were full. Plus I’ve really haven’t stress tested them, no magic smoke came out.

Grid outage, charging the MY with portable cord, two furnace on trying to drain powerwalls so solar returns. Might as well charge the car up, don’t want to let any power go to waste. Fans in Powerwalls didn’t come, but it is in the 50’s.

Starting March 2 I’ve been suffering phantom drain. I’m guessing that aligns with software update. Cat consumes mor sitting then driving twice a day!

I’m dumb, I ment power 20.1 Kw. 144 KWh on 4/29/2023

I caught 20.1 Kwh, some edge effect. Usually around 16 kwh. Can’t post image! Server error!

New cooling system for pw3, water cooling.

What inverter profiles are you running on your none Tesla inverters? I’m 99% sure your that is your issue. I run “IEEE 1547 FW 61 to 62 Hz” on my enphase inverters.

I think most people would like ac coupled as it gives more power for off grid. Not everyone has 8 powerwalls like me!

When will PowerShare be demonstrated?

East coast grid had nothing to spare. And three of the six regulating authorities were implementing rolling blackouts as well. Quit being a troll!

Did you powerwall firmware get upgraDDed?

East coast grid was having rolling blackouts (3 of the six regulatory agencies on the east coast grid) at the same time during Uri. East cost grid couldn’t even help its self! Can always count on the useful idiots.

Absolutely not true. All power plants have epa permits, some times they are allowed to exceed emissions during storms.

Texas dose well with renewable energy.

This is more about Texas helping the NE! They want our solar and wind, so we (Texans) can pay more for power! Someone please teach AOC how to use a garbage disposal. She probably only seen it on the flinstones!

Wtf, Texas electric costs are one fourth California!

https://wolfstreet.com/2024/02/27/u-s-electricity-generation-by-source-in-2023-natural-gas-coal-nuclear-wind-hydro-solar-geothermal-biomass-petroleum/ Interesting article, figures are in GWh (energy).

i believe they mean "self powered", not full export. with powerwall you can not go full export with the settings available to us. only a vpp program has access to that.

Perhaps Tesla knows something I don’t!

i would be interested in price and production...

easy, just be sure current/wire is accounted for with CT on solar...

What is the consensus, are ble key fobs still banded by DOD?

Only took me one hour to get my email address changed. Blood pressure only 4000psi now!

i got cybertruck reservation, and i need to change my email address as my isp shutdown the email server permanently... how do i do so.

3 V gateway has auto transformer.

PW2 has 948 cells, 21700 cells @ 20wh per cell that is 18,960wh per powerwall. 13,500/18,960=70%, so looks like tesla pw charges to 80% and discharges to 10%. Seems reasonable to me. you can set the reserve....

Holds solid at my house, year round. My solar causes a 2-4V rise at the micro inverters.

TRUE, except for resistive loads. AC motors use more current as well as switching power supplies. I haven’t checked heating elements, but they fall in the class of things I don’t care about, and long gone are incandescent light bulbs which were resistive. You can plug a modern computer power...

True, but my stuff is use to the high side of the tolerance for US voltage. Running off grid at lower then my normal voltage could case something to fail. And if powerwall puts out 120V/240V at inverter, voltage at devices will be 2 volts lower if they pull much current.

Lower the input voltage, the higher the current. Current causes heat and devices to fail. Also motors might not start with lower voltage, causing motors to burn up.

i wish powerwall would use the same grid voltage when off grid. my grid is 126V/252V. i feel the lower voltage (120V/240V) will cause devices on the verge of failing to not work... also, higher voltages lower the current in powerwall, so good for powerwall.

If in standby takes a second, if running in self powered mode it is seamless. But Tesla say not ups.

Because I don’t believe I will keep getting net metering, and I was right. My co-op just ended it, but I will be grand fathered in for 10 years. They are going to start charging me for the Brazos bankruptcy for all energy delivered, so no longer 1:1. They are offering a new plan, and all new...

Since you asked, you haven’t searched the forums. Best option with tesla install is loads calculation and consolidate nearly all loads if not all onto larger circuit panel. If private installer, they may do taps and feeders to two panels.

You don’t need to as long as 200 amp breaker is installed in TEG

I ran into the same resistance. Ended up combining two 40 circuit panels into a 80 circuit panel. They are idiots, but they got their thumb on the scales.

Tell them NO (10 panels south on one string), and not to parallel home runs on east array as they will be not equal qty of panels (nine and ten).

Exactly with solar. I don’t have such an agreement with poco. I’m interested to see how it behaves with large and small powerwall setups. Then there are additional load panel back feed issues which will need to be resolved. For me, it seems possible to land the charger in my generation panel...

V2H would kind of be useless without V2PW. If powerwalls are empty, then house shuts down while you go find a charge. I don’t see any technical challenges to this, really not any different then mixing with solar or generator. That’s why I want to see demo of feature with powerwall. I wish...

I combined my house onto a larger, more circuits, 200 amp panel and back up that panel with gateway. Do loads calculation. I got backed up panel and non backed up panel. I did have Tesla use 3/0 copper for everything since my panels will have 200 amps on them, well at least house. I will...
