Other than using some sort of automation using the APIs, I don't think you can do granular behavior changes with the PW that some of us would like or think we need. I have tried various ways to get to send power back to the grid and just use the PW, etc. But I couldn't get it to work exactly...

I called Tesla - and to add more panels it needs to be a new full install. And if I do it myself and add more panels, it will invalidate the warranty. Annoying.

Ah - I was I could be my own contractor. But I am going to see if there any contractors are interested in my local area. Here is SE model I have: SE10000H. Looks like the size is 10k watts (A/C) and 15.5 watts (D/C). I think based on this...

@nwdiver - was that an addon to a Tesla panel system with PW - the PW probably doesn't matter. I am looking to up to 4k and my existing 8.8k system on 1 string. The SE inverter is rated for 10.9k but I am not worried about the clipping more about getting energy in the afternoon as my panels...

I am going give it another 2 weeks and see what happens. Not sure if the snow covered panels + cloudy weather has thrown the algorithm off. I am watching Power Flow UI and it is “everywhere” in terms of behavior - not consistent at all in terms of solar flows to the grid/house and the battery...

Actually it has been in this mode since 2/12 - anyways I will keep it and see how it goes.

Reserve is set at 20%. It is strange at the moment. Perhaps it will change over time - hopefully. Not sure if there is a way for force it.

I assume all the municipal can have different plans in MA. RMLD isn't as straightforward as I would like. There are several different charges however the TOU primary affects the fuel charge (there are other slight changes): Standard Plan - fuel charge is ~.04 per kWH. With the other...

I know others have requested or suggested it but there should be an option for perhaps finer grain control. Largely since there is so much variation from installation to installation potentially. Or set better goals for the system instead of the ability to fine tune it. I would love a goal to...

Solar: 8.84k, 10kW SolarEdge inverter and PW 27kW. RMLD is the utility that offers TOU. We are forced to stick to a rate plan for a year - I will share the data after a few months on TOU + Solar + PW. So I am hoping with a certain pattern of usage with the Powerwalls I can maximize savings...

Yes. Usually most mornings we have enough solar banked in the PW to cover the peak hours of 12-7pm. Ideally the PW is 100% used by the house and all solar is pushed back to the grid. Is that possible?

I recently got my PTO on 2/12 this year. Despite the gloomy weather and snow on my panels (which is finally melting - we have odd peaks/valleys on the roof), I am quite happy with the setup. I live in MA and have municipal utility that has crappy net metering so it isn't typically worth...

Mark, If it is newly installed, you will Storm watch appear 1-2 days later in the app. I can’t remember exactly when but I remember a few of the custom settings like Stormwatch didn’t appear right away after install.

Stormwatch just finished topping off my Powerwall 2. I was curious if / when this would kick in with the storm coming in. Nice to see it working.

Well, it has been several weeks since I asked for new design for a larger system. I called for the third time and they did admit that the request was not forwarded to the designer Marco. They asked for 5 business days which is the typical response time. Doesn't give me a lot of confidence but...

Thanks for the help. I decided to call and they were very helpful. Someone from Tesla is coming out for a site visit now before I need to sign any paperwork.

One other item on the order form they didn't include the local municipal rebates for some reason - just the federal & state incentives. Should I be worried that they will not do the paperwork? I live in Massachusetts.

New to solar & Tesla. I just put in a new order. I have not put signed or paid for the order. Only the deposit and I received the initial design. I had a few questions since I need to put in new shingles on my roof to get ready for the panels. Has anyone had any success in contacting Tesla via...
