    Solarglass Roof install set for Feb 16-Mar1

    Actually: I think I should count in the PW numbers too, so for July it was 1216, so just 11% off... Still not small. (I thought the inverters would keep the numbers for the month, but it is only the current month, so August now... and the app reports incorrect solar production numbers, and maybe...

    Solarglass Roof install set for Feb 16-Mar1

    Of course, but Tesla knows all of the parameter of the project when they are suppose to come up with the project proposal. If they tell you "with this system you will get 10MWh per year, and this is conservative and we generally see a lot more than what we quote" you buy based on that. Thank...

    Anybody having wrong numbers reported by the App?

    We have a 8.56kw V3 tiles roof. One of the issues we have is the app reports wrong numbers... and it isn’t clear how this may affect the system since PWs and gateway are supposed to decide what to do based on what is measured (are they not?) also the system always seem to draw 0.1 from the grid...

    Solarglass Roof install set for Feb 16-Mar1

    What is the size of the system? What is the peak production (June 21 at solar noon) and max energy produced in a day? How much did Tesla say you would produce in a year? a lot of us are seeing numbers that seem lower than expected, so it would be good to collect/report data so we can all compare.

    What should my Solarglass roof produce...?

    We are in Santa Clara CA, with a V3 glass roof of 8.65kw supposed to produced 10MWh per year. We will not make it... our installation is South 40 Tiles 27.0% East 44 29.7% West 34 23.0% North 30 20.3% Total 148 June was wasted because thread...

    2xPowerwall whole house backup - HVAC sure start problem

    Update: finally got the visit of a Tesla service guy: he did not fix anything because he was alone and would need a small crew to efficiently pinpoint the issues and address them, but he explained that SureStart are supposed to be installed by the Tesla folks installing the batteries: it should...

    How did you manage to get support so quickly? Which area? (I’m I the Bay Area)

    Solar glass system production

    We have 7 panes... (yes our roof is a bit complex for such a simple house...) not sure how many boxes were installed in the attic... the is one only in the garage, one pane is not accessible from the attic. And unfortunately I haven’t checked the connections they made... our attic temperature...

    Solar glass system production

    Did not get that level of detail, and city/utility did not share those either. about the inverters clock: they were off at the beginning, so numbers reported on their screen for end of day did not reflect the actual day production. I only fixed them once. Thx for the info about the 2...

    Tesla Solar Glass Install Tracker

    It seems to be view-only. Do we just send the data through this thread? extra columns could include % solar tiles on south, east, west, north... shade situation/days of sun based on Project Sunroof later it would be good to be able to add actual monthly/yearly production (or at least yearly...

    Affect of heat & cold on Solar Glass ?

    they received full PTO 2 days after the city approved the installation... they claimed they did not, so I called my utility company who confirmed they had already informed them it was a “go!”... they are just very disorganized for some reason (I could fully understand if it was due to Covid side...

    Affect of heat & cold on Solar Glass ?

    Tesla never sent that information to us... I have been asking for it, but did not get it yet... we have the same solivia 5.2k you have. I had to fix the clock on them so by the end of the day I have the right reading. Don’t think there is anything wrong with them. The display (well, sun of the...

    2xPowerwall whole house backup - HVAC sure start problem

    So, interestingly enough late today the ac turned on with 1.4kw from solar and 3kw form batteries (peak start) from solar: compressor had no problem starting without SureStart! So I guess I don’t need it... as far as there is some solar production, it should be fine... of course at 3-3.4kwh, it...

    Affect of heat & cold on Solar Glass ?

    Bay Area does not have fog these days. Peak today reached 2.2kw... production yesterday was 17kwh. so after several tries to the different phone numbers, got to yet another support person who said the need to send somebody over to finalize turning the system on which should happen in the next...

    Solar glass system production

    Nope, they did not run them ... since they were done with everything but the connection before Covid shut them off, they only can back for that and left ... so no try period... Santa Clara and SiliconValley power were super supportive and it took 2 days for permit and meter change and PTO! They...

    Solar glass system production

    Yup, it took about the same time you described to install (our roof is not so simple, with a lot of metal work...) interrupted by Covid after all tiles and batteries were installed... since there was a missing sensor and no gateway interface, the power wall that were delivered at 20% charge got...

    Affect of heat & cold on Solar Glass ?

    The whole process was messy and lacking heads-up or plan review with us... so I don’t exactly know to that day the repartition... we have tiles everywhere, with only some on the north side... not enough on the south probably but still: they claimed the spread should produce 10Mwh for the year...

    Solar glass system production

    By now there should be at least 100 active solar glass roof. We are lucky enough to have one of them is on our house! But... it hasn’t been a smooth ride, and is still not. One of the issues we are facing is a surprisingly low production and the total lack of support so far :( I hope the...

    Affect of heat & cold on Solar Glass ?

    How big is your installation? We have a 8.6kw solar glass v3 installation in Santa Clara and I get only 17kwh per day max.. :-(

    2xPowerwall whole house backup - HVAC sure start problem

    Could you share more information about the soft start device you used? Spent 6 hours yesterday with an HVAC guys... the SureStart device went in, compressor started making a huge amount of noise... the contractor tried to debug... he tried a new capacitor that almost blue in my face, then...
