    Powerwall settings to stabilize output?

    No, AC was already on when it happened. In fact AC stays on for a while until the ecobee reset then shut it off.

    Powerwall settings to stabilize output?

    So we are in the middle of this heatwave in SF bay area and I am in a outage. Good news is the Powerwall is keeping our lights and AC on, but something is up in these couple days that I keep seeing the whole house light blink for a sec and it cause my AC and router to reboot. Looking at the app...

    Anyone have a fire ball extinguisher (or something similar) placed on top of your PW? Which one did you get?

    That's a little over my budget. I will see if I can setup a GoFundMe for this

    Anyone have a fire ball extinguisher (or something similar) placed on top of your PW? Which one did you get?

    I am not referring to a regular fire extinguisher, but the type that you place above a electric panel and activate when there is a fire. I checked and saw lithium fire is class B and those extinguisher is for class ABC. That's why I was thinking to get 1 and place it above the PW. I already...

    Anyone have a fire ball extinguisher (or something similar) placed on top of your PW? Which one did you get?

    I am looking at a fire ball extinguisher to place above my PW in case something happen. Wonder if someone else have it too and which one did you get?

    What are you experiencing during 100F weather with your system?

    My 8.5kW system with 2 PW supplied all energy yesterday for my AC, 1 laundry load (wash and dry) and 1 dishwasher load..... Switched to self power mid day to conserved battery for night time use tho..... End up with low 20% by midnight.

    Inverter Shutting Down

    Wanna report back to this thread: I had similar issue on my system (see previous post) but on top of that, my PW was not powering my house reliably during peak hours. When I logged in to my inverter I can see L1 over voltage or similar error before the inverter shutdown. Tesla found something...

    Better to use powerwalls or grid as my daily storage?

    So basically Tesla guarantee the PW will be able to fully charge and discharge everyday for 10 years assuming reserved is set at the default 20%....

    4 kW Tesla solar install (with existing solar) and Powerwall addition and what I learned

    Hmm.... Can't install inside of garage is a Cupertino thing? I am in San Jose and installed mine inside and stacked without problem. The 5' requirement is for everything to prevent noise as I was told when I installed my AC...

    Both Inverters stuck in night mode

    Sounds like something got disconnected so the inverters dont detect power from the panels..... It's less likely that both inverters are bad with the same symptoms.

    Unstable grid voltage can cause PW fail to function properly

    Yeah was surprised when Tesla told me that was the problem. Fortunately nothing got damaged since I moved in couple years ago and the only light flickering I had was fixed after I replaced the dimmer switch... Guess I was lucky

    Unstable grid voltage can cause PW fail to function properly

    When I got my PTO in early Feb, my PW would not discharge throughout the peak hours and it will randomly stop discharging for a period of time then come back either a blip or stay for an hour then stop discharging again. At the same time, I saw a lot of L1N over voltage error reported on my...

    Has anyone unexpectedly lost power to powerwalls + backup gateway?

    If you don't see the TEG network, then that shows the TEG got issue already.....probably fried a component on a PCBA and that cause it failed to boot up...

    How to do peak past midnight?

    You can log in to your gateway as installer and change your time zone.... Try and see if that work...lol

    Any way to set Tesla app to Self powered from 8am-noon and TBC-cost saving rest of time?

    I don't think there is a lot, but from their description balance is supposed to minimize export during shoulder and off peak. So for us with EVA, balance will minimize export during 3 to 4pm (if you set peak from 4-9pm) and let the TEG decide what to do, versus you are setting it to export in...

    Any way to set Tesla app to Self powered from 8am-noon and TBC-cost saving rest of time?

    Reason I use cost saving, is because at the end of the day the energy my system generate is still being used somewhere. (Hopefully my neighbor). So for me, the balance mode is a "feel good" mode that shows I am trying to be as energy independent as possible, but in reality I am still tie to the...

    Any way to set Tesla app to Self powered from 8am-noon and TBC-cost saving rest of time?

    That's my reason to just use energy from PW after 3pm. I can pretty much offset all my usage even in Feb... So I know I will be fine in the summer.

    Any way to set Tesla app to Self powered from 8am-noon and TBC-cost saving rest of time?

    The EVA schedule has partial peak hours from 3 to 4 pm and 9pm to 12 am, peak hours between 4 to 9 pm. If you look at the rate in the winter hours, partial peak is $.35 and peak is $.37, off peak is $.18. Difference between partial and peak is $.02.... Might as well set those hours as all peak...

    Any way to set Tesla app to Self powered from 8am-noon and TBC-cost saving rest of time?

    I have it on cost saving and just set those hours to off peak. I am charging my cars starting at mid night so they won't drained my PW.

    Any way to set Tesla app to Self powered from 8am-noon and TBC-cost saving rest of time?

    I am on EV-A and have my peak set from 3pm to 12am everyday. It is working fine and start drawing energy from the PW and send solar to the grid everyday starting at 3pm

    Tesla no longer selling Powerwall without solar?

    There is probably a soar of new orders after Texas outage... They are probably just reserving them for all those orders

    Tesla Inverter + Neurio

    I have a delta M8, and Sunrun did install a Neurio but I am actually only using the internal meter for site and the aux for solar. I was actually puzzling why Sunrun installed a neurio and monitor home usage instead of using the internal meter?

    Tesla Inverter + Neurio

    The neurio can monitor 4 channels... you can set it up as site, solar, load or conductor. But I don't think you want to set it up to monitor anything more than it is there already because it will see those new CT as part of the system instead of allowing you to setup what it is monitoring like...

    New Install Clipping/Not Installed Correctly?

    Does your inverter have wifi? Mine only got bluetooth LTE and I don't think Tesla have a way to remote into your inverter otherwise.... My inverter power version is on 1.5.9 too... So see if they are upgrading that?
  29. O

    You gotta be kidding me. Electricians won't add a Tesla wall connector on the backup side of ESS

    But that's where NEM will keep that balance.... Your solar output in day time can still compensate the charging at night after 12am. The only downside doing that is you won't be charging your Tesla at night during a power outage.

    New Install Clipping/Not Installed Correctly?

    Are those the L1N over voltage or the arc fault error? I had those errors along with other issues with my PW/gateway..... And then one day after I power cycled my PV my solar CT on aux meter disappeared. I contacted Tesla and their Tier 2 remote login to my system and fixed it. Since then my...

    question re: permitting home stretch

    They need to get the permit, then submit the PTO to PGE. PGE then will need to come out and make sure you have a smart meter (at least that what they did in my case) before they can turn on your system. So yea from their point of view, they completed the installation.

    New Install Clipping/Not Installed Correctly?

    If you have multiple arrays, the m-tools or m professional will let you see each arrays output. There are other apps from the same developer in Google store.... In those other apps you can pull error log from the inverter. M tools/professional can only show you the current status. That's the...

    Powerwall - Settings Q

    Contact Tesla.... I got my PTO in early Feb but my PW wasn't discharging consistently during peak hours.

    Auxiliary CT (meter Y) is gone in the installer login....

    My powerwall wasn't discharging during peak hours consistently, so I have been checking the gateway and see if I can find something wrong with the metering. When I first logged in, there were meter 1 (neurio) set as site, meter X set as none, and meter Y set as solar (1 CT x 2) Last night I...

    CT reads negative, is my gateway wired wrong?

    My powerwall is not discharging during peak time (cost saving mode, 20% reserved), so today I logged into the gateway installer mode and see if I can find anything wrong. When I got to the metering page, I see Meter 1 CT1 and CT2 are both reading negative W, when I click on the Flip check box...
