My NBCs are about 10% of what my off peak rate costs. So I figure that I would rather use cost saving, have my powerwalls full and send to the grid. I have my Tesla start charging at 12:30pm since the powerwalls are full by then and that way at least half the car is charged by solar. I...

I just checked mine from a Jan 13 install date and they are both 2.1. Breakers are 30A, didn’t open the panel to check wire gauge. So these have been in the wild for months. It would be nice if the combined charge rate could be increased past the 2.5Kw a piece I seem to peak out at. I had a few...

mine just got chased last night as well. Mailed Jan 3. I use BofA and looking at the check image so does the DMV.

I made a service center appointment. Then mysteriously it was cancelled. I had a software update so I tried it again and so far Netflix works perfectly. Either someone fixed it remotely or the software update fixed it.

Add another Jan 3rd mailing and still no cashed check.

Teslafi allows 2FA. Even if they get the API token from TeslaFi, they would need to need to give a TOTP to access the account - which they won't have. I personally like teslafi and I had problems with Stats keeping my car awake. The money I save on gas for owning an EV easily makes up for the...

I have noticed if I select all 4 icons for grid, house, powerwall, solar. And the. I go back by using the arrow keys a few days and forward it seems to refresh and give me good numbers. I am not checking it against the API but I know when it’s raining and it isn’t so I know it was off. It also...

I was able to get PVWatts to come within a hundred or so of the Tesla numbers. So I have been comparing monthly output vs PVWatts and when it’s not raining I see almost 20% better actual production over the PVWatts. This only for a short sample of time so far, but I echo what others have...

I have a 100A main panel. They moved all the breakers out of my main and put them in a 200A panel. That panel is fed by a 100A breaker from the utility, and a 100A breaker from the TEG (which is being fed from a 100A load center that houses breakers for 9.5KW solar and 2 powerwalls). I did what...

SCE Equity Resiliency Step 5 (med baseline and tier 2 fire area). $1/wh. They took out 26% of the $15k allotted to make it $11.1K since I bought it combine with solar and get the tax credit. I paid $13k plus $2k install cost.

I can attest SCE ER is still open because I received an email telling me my SGIP funds are now reserved on Feb 16.2021. Still don’t have PTO yet but hopefully soon. System install date was Jan 13,2021. County inspection wasn’t until feb 22, 2021. The email states that other documents need to be...

I have a friend with LG panels with micro inverters and 2 Powerwalls. His scale back production. One sunny day where he should have been producing over 10KW, he was only showing 1 or 2 KW. He was without power and his 2 PW were at 99%. So there are systems that scale back power. This is a...

I ran a simulated outage for 2 days and had the "vehicle charging during power outage" set to 90%. I am only using the wall plug charger, but it worked as it was designed. Once the batteries hit 90%, the charger started pulling 3 amps, the PW SOC went to 91% and it started pulling the full...

I paid $11,000 for both. That was back in September when they were $6500. But they are taking out the 26% tax out of the rebate. Originally it was shown as $15,000 ... less 26% equals $11,000

SCE SGIP ER is currently in step 5. I just received an email from them yesterday stating my application is under review, but it is not reserved until they approve it. 2 powerwalls = $11,100 rebate. If you meet the criteria. This was through Tesla energy. They apparently have powerwalls in...

I know Elon wanted to get into heat pumps. I wonder if the "generator" is a heat pump integration?

i think it is about the same. I used to have box fans in windows until I got 3 1500cfm quietcool fans 15 years ago. They have worked great. When my allergies got really bad, I used 3M fíltrete filters wedged into one open window. That way all the air was filtered. Worked exceptionally well...

I have a neighbor who is also on this forum that got his PTO from SCE in a week I believe. I am going through the same process. Ordered in September, still fighting with LA County because Tesla decided to upsize the inverter to 10K because they couldn't get a 7.6K SE inverter. Probably...

ah, still overkill for my situation but Tesla gave me 300 sqft more house than I actually had in the load calculation, plus a 50A spa I didn’t have and still made it on the NEC 220.83. Now I see the 3VA/sq ft on the sheet.

The last one is similar to my install. 100A main panel > TEG > 200A load center (house circuits only) > 100A load center (2ESS and 9.5KW PV). Then again LA country is not approving the permit, but the best guess right now is that they oversized my inverter. I was happy to have a 200A load...

Is it coming off with silicone sealant? I have the same kit and I have not installed it yet.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I will bring it up.

Bingo - you are correct, the panel that has the 2 - 100A breakers is my service main. It's weird all the breakers are still in it - just disconnected and turned off. I am assuming that is to keep from having an exposed bus and easier than screwing a blank over it. All I know if that the...

Moving from the 7.6KW to the 10KW wasn't my decision. Tesla upsized it because they can't source a 7.6KW SE. Probably because they aren't buying them anymore. I really don't want the new Tesla inverter. I don't want to be a test subject. But I have a feeling that might end up going that...

To make things clearer: 1) They moved everything out of my main panel into a 225A panel (V) - the bottom got cut off so I repasted. 2) The only thing left in the main panel is a 100A breaker coming from the TEG and another 100A breaker for the grid tie. What is hanging them up is the change in...

Also, I have had the plans rejected 3 times. We may be just using different terminology. The above is plan #2, there is plan #3 that I am trying to get out of my project adviser. Maybe they fixed that, but I am trying to wrap my head around how this above plan is missing a breaker going to...

The field guy used the word "permanent rejection". When I look it up on the LA EPIC (planning website), nothing has been updated. I may have heard him wrong, but the sound in his voice was pretty deflated. But I could have misheard him. ETA : Yeah, I had to have misheard him. I know with a...

I have a 28 panel installation that was performed on 1/13/2021. My house faces due south (183 degrees) and has 14 panels on a west facing roof and 14 on an East facing roof with 23 degree slope. This is the absolute maximum number of panels my roof can hold. Originally they were going to...

Oh I understand, I was bummed to see your post. I don't do much with the API, but its fun to play around with. I just tried going into it and it finally let me in. Teslafi seems still still work, but the token probably doesn't expire for a while. And the link above was what I was trying to...

Add to that, the owner login link is gone from the main page.

I would, but can't change it without logging into the account

I'm not even trying to talk with the API. Tesla's own website isn't working. I havent tried playing with the API with postman today.

I'm using 2FA so I guess I am hosed for a little while until they fix it.

I can't even get into the Telsa owners' login normally. I am seeing some outage reports as well. Just a heads up not to spin your wheels too much because it looks like they broke more than one thing today.

Cool. Thank you for confirming my suspicion. Funny how the Emporia and rainforest are always out of sync by just a little. Although now that I think about it the Emporia is cloud based and the Rainforest EMU2 is probably faster since it’s local.

Okay, I’ve been watching this activity for sometime. Right now solar isn’t on (breaker and inverter is off). There seems to be a little leakage back to the grid. This is from 2 separate zigbee readers connected directly to my smart meter. No CTs, this is setup through SCE. But both are showing a...

That is exactly what happened to me last week. I have a 9.5KW PV and I was supposed to get the 7.6KW solaredge. They told me they were out of them and gave me a 10K instead.

The point of touchless delivery is so you don't have to share the same indoor airspace with other people that may not be diligent about their hygiene. I see too many people not covering their noses, using a mask with a one-way valve, etc. I use it whenever possible, and still wash my hands...

I agree their would be no magic number as well. Each system is different. If you have a large PV system and it is producing 15KW and only one power wall, and you are currently consuming 1kw the solar won’t come on until it gets low enough to hit the max charge rate of the power wall. That could...

Public Safety Power Shutoff. When we have dry and windy conditions, they will cut power since a lot of our fires seem to be coming from powerlines. It really should be called "Poor Infrastructure Maintenance Lawsuit Avoidance Shutoff", but that doesn't roll off the tongue very well. Looks like...

I get the text alerts for PSPS from SCE. I think they just issue them if there is even a hint of wind now. So far this month I was issued multiple daily alerts on Dec 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,19,20,21,23. So out of the last 23 days, only 6 of them were days they didn't threaten me with a...

...and for some reason, the Stella Artois (Belgium) sell bottles of 11.2oz beer.

My NEM and Interconnect agreements are correct. I guess we have to double-check all their paperwork. My residential load calculation overstated my square footage, and they are moving a breaker that I told them was disconnected but I will end up using that for my wall charger for the Model Y so...

I think the objective is to stop all the debris from loading up the HEPA filter prematurely. I was always pulling out leaves and dead bees and such out of the HEPA filters in my other cars. Now they will be stopped early. It will probably allow the HEPA filter with some longevity, but...

Had it happen to a Honda Odyssey (the day we were leaving for a 12 hour trip - some vermin chewed the ABS sensor). 2 BMWs, and a VW. With a BMW Z4, I was getting in the car and I could hear some weird noise from the engine compartment. It was right after a rain. I popped the hood and the most...

Thanks, i just picked up some. Mine was green (even though it was listed as the blue stuff on the Home Depot app). 5 minutes and done. My other cars didn’t have an intake like that to put a pre-filter on it. I remember making a mess of my interior on most cars when I changed them. I’m sure this...

How were you able to determine Tesla has not applied for SGIP ER?

I pushed my appointment back since LA County is having an explosion of COVID cases and it's not a critical thing right now. However, after the 2020.48.10 software upgrade, it now works. But I have the slight white line now on the right of my screen like @jmatero. I will update the ticket to...

Yes, but I can kind of see the difference now that I think about it. The performance boost is just a slight change to the software that unlocks a different power map. FSD is a suite of software - even though the hardware was already there. Analogous to using an existing server farm that you...
