    17kW System = 98.4 kWh Production (5.79kWh/kW of Panels)

    You could probably setup 2 separate services that run for each powerwall. They would both report to the same unique account key so the data should be aggregated. Best place to ask though would be PVOutput Community

    17kW System = 98.4 kWh Production (5.79kWh/kW of Panels)

    PVOutput I use one of my windows computers to poll the powerwalls and report this data to my account on their website. https://mikesgear.wordpress.com/2017/12/07/monitoring-teslas-powerwall2-on-pvoutput-org/

    27 Face South, 7 face East Don't know the exact angle but looks to be between 20-30 degrees. Traditional 1960's Floridia house with low pitch roof.

    11.6kw Solar Roof, but only one Inverter?

    Here's mine from today. So I would hope yours would be close. Casa Tripod 11.560kW I definitely thing the Tesla Inverter is keping you from more power.

    11.6kw Solar Roof, but only one Inverter?

    I have an 11.56 system in Central Florida. You will never see anything close to the 11s for generation. I think I hit 10.2 back in April/May with most of my panels facing south with a few facing east. I have a solaredge inverter though so I'm not sure if the Tesla one will clip or not.

    Why even have batteries?

    Hurricanes. I've gone 10 days without power. Getting gasoline is almost impossible and it uses 5 gallons per 12 hours to run a window shaker, fridge, and fans. And as with most hurricanes, once they come through it is sunny for days so I can't imagine being without power with perfectly good...

    My Powerwall grid outage tests

    Always instant unless the outside temp (my PWs are outside) was below 50 degrees fahrenheit. They would turn completely off for a good 5 minutes or so. Never could figure that one out.

    My Powerwall grid outage tests

    I had them lower my frequency to 62.5 as well it would hit 65 hz and anything LED would start flashing and my UPS would freak out because it was over 63. I've done the same test as h2ofun and the transition was seamless.

    Grid shut off for inverter frequency test

    Mine looks exactly like I posted, I didn't do anything to get in the format I posted using firefox. If you google search there are some powershell scripts to get even more data in various formats. here's a good link for viewing various things. just make sure you put /api/ in front of the...

    How many panels are actually generating solar power?

    There are ton of threads here on how to get a SolarEdge account and see your individual panel data.

    Tesla solar not always the cheapest

    Also, every quote I've seen from a local installer was the price after the federal tax credit. Where Teslas isn't.

    Should I postpone?

    You're never going to get Solar Edge at this point. I'd move forward with the install.

    Powerwall Companion: Now on Android (beta)

    Anyway to get a link to just the apk? I have a few devices that I don't have the play store on. On another note how hard would it be to port it to Tizen? Would love to have this on my refrigerator display :)

    Inverter size when maximum system is 11.56 kW (34 panels)

    For me I'd ask tesla to give me the big and the little inverter. Or drop some panels.

    Inverter size when maximum system is 11.56 kW (34 panels)

    I also have an 34 Panel 11.56 system installed in December 2020. The gave me the default 10kW SolarEdge. If they're selling you 11.56 you should at least have the option to use as much of it as possible. ~200kWh/yr may not be a lot, but why not get as much as what you are paying for?

    How did you get your SolarEdge Physical Layout

    Those of you who used a camera on a pole, where are the serial numbers located? I have the Q CELLS Q.PEAK DUO BLK-G6+ 340 and am going to have to do this unfortunately.

    Can Tesla Really do it? [install at the price quoted]

    My local company wanted $14k more for the same exact setup as Tesla. I was willing to put up with some so-so customer service for $14k.

    Partial vs. Whole Home Backup?

    My plans with 2 PW called for "partial home" because of my AC, and the online team wouldn't budge. The day of install the electrician asked if I wanted a soft start so he could give me "whole home" and I agreed. I haven't had any issues, but I have seen spikes of 11kW if stove, water heater, and...

    Noob question...Solar intermittently stops production every 5-10 minutes

    Thanks for the response. I don't have PTO yet so I can't really do much yet. Once I do I will definitely open a ticket. Here in Florida I can quickly deny their "cold" excuse.

    Noob question...Solar intermittently stops production every 5-10 minutes

    @tommax Did you ever get a solution to this? I am having the exact same issue. I have ran 2 full days tests at separate times with no issue. A week later I try again, and as soon as I cut power from the utility the inverter errors out with the same error in the app "18x40: F-L1 Max1"...

    They'll be blocked in the summer until at least 9 or 10. No TOU, same rates all the time. Can't trim the tree as it's the neighbors. Thanks for the info.

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    Here's my latest layout. My question is, would I be better moving the 4 panels on the far left that are blocked by a tree from the morning sun and move them to the east/west facing sides? Here in Florida we usually get hours of west sun in the afternoon so it would seem to make sense to put more...
