Pretty sure my broker tried State Farm as well... hmm. I have some good data to go back to him with now, thank you both. Thanks for the roofing rec! Will be sure to mention you when we're ready to move forward.

Grand, thanks, I'm with Progressive! No options were given, just that Progressive don't cover solar panels at all... I think a follow up call is in order.

@ChrisF42 and @Jones1 : Who is your homeowners insurance through? My broker couldn't find anybody that would insure the panels. Also, Chris, can you share the name of your roofer? I had a quote for a replacement roof recently and the company said they wouldn't touch the solar panels; I would...

The Inverter was finally replaced yesterday, same SolarEdge as before. Back to producing. That was a long time without : May 5 to August 4

That’s great to hear. Glad you got sorted. A relief to see those numbers again I’m sure. The new gateway for me resolved that issue of no server, no signal. No sign of an inverter for me yet.

Thanks, hopefully mine will be similar.

Update: I received a new gateway, which resolved both of the connection issues (No Signal, No Server). The technician confirmed that the inverter had failed and he would request a new one. I've just received an email from Tesla that states: So disappointing. I wonder if the Texas sun didn't...

4-8 weeks :( I'm already 4 weeks out as I was away when it failed, so possibly 3 months without solar during peak production. Super.

I missed a step in the troubleshooting, moving the switch on the inverter to 0; I then see the blinking red and green lights, so this confirms inverter failure. Worth checking yours if it's the same issue. Tesla have ordered a new "Gateway Monitoring Device", as nothing I do will bring the Neo...

Not so far, but I have a Tesla tech visit scheduled for June 14. It's looking like inverter failure, even though I have a green light.

- Neo Gateway - SolarEdge HD Wave with SetAPP - 2 x Powerwalls My solar generation (viewed in the app) has dropped to 0. My Powerwalls are still working and grid and home power consumption is displayed. The inverter has a single green LED lit, so the system is producing energy. I've followed...

There's very little shade on my roof, fortunately. Just a roof overhang late in the day.

Thanks, somehow missed that. The 11.2 must have been momentarily as the maximum using the cursor is *only* 10.8. Yes, very happy with the production figures :) Will be interesting to see what we look like in May.

That's great info, thanks. Still a toss up between Reliant and MP2. I have a $150 cancellation fee with Reliant, so it my make sense to stay with them, switch to their solar plan and monitor the costs.

Update: got PTO last Thursday after reminding Tesla that the install had been completed, Centerpoint were quick to approve (2 days) once done. I never did trial it before PTO :) Happy with the production figures so far (56.9kWh so far today), I saw a peak of 11.2kW at one time (is there a way...

I don't have PTO yet, so not charging my 2 PWs ... after the update, the reserve power jumped from 0% to 92% o_O .. now at 91%. I suspect this is incorrect:confused:

No, they didn't add anything extra to the panel. But yes, I do have the Backup Gateway 2 and there is a breaker for the inverter, which is off. OK, understand now. Flip that breaker, turn on the inverter and we're good to go? (Bearing in mind step "0", as mentioned by wjgjr).

Got it, yes step 0 makes sense, thanks. Yes, they left everything switched on, except the inverter. Just paranoid about sending anything to the grid!

Great, thank you. The PWs are switched on already and in Backup-only mode. There isn't a new breaker for the inverter, so that would leave simply turning on the inverter.

The original quote from Tesla was for 4, but I thought that was excessive. I'll be going with a Reliant Simple Solar Sell Back Plan, which I believe is net metering, as cridinger82 said, so unless I've misunderstood, we should be ok. Agree about the mounting! The installer did ask where I...

No, they don't look damaged. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks! Yes, my first post, learned a lot here already. I'm reluctant to turn it on but certainly with looking into. Is there a step by step guide? Appreciate it's probably only a couple of steps, but wouldn't want to get it wrong. Smudges, not sure what they are. Think a ladder will need to...

Hi there I had a 36 panel, 12.24kW solar and 2 Powerwalls installed recently. Still waiting for PTO (Centerpoint, expected Oct 16), but thought I'd share the install and ask a question about the panels. I'm west of Houston, TX. Ordered: July 23 Installation: September 3, 4 and 7 (thunderstorms...
