Possibly this article? Tesla Plans To Adopt Bi-Directional Charging By 2025 - CleanTechnica "that bi-directional charging will be available in all Tesla vehicles by 2025" I am not the most informed with Tesla vehicle capabilities (past, present and future). So don't flame me if that's a bad...

I guess moon lensing isn't a thing....

You get a credit a true up for the amount still in your bank, in a 1 for 1 of what they would have charged you. Here are the details from mine earlier this year. They just keep rolling the credit over month to month. I guess I could ask for a check, but i'm a big consumer during the summer...

Distribution charges from all three TOU time periods get bucketed, and not split out like the generation. So for example, your super off-peak usage will pull from your banked distribution charges, the same as any of the other TOU periods. The distribution charge is flat across all the TOU...

That is incorrect (at least for my location). A line item in the Powerwall Direct quote via Tesla's website is Delivery & Installation Tesla will bring and install your Powerwalls on the same day $7,500 delivery & installation cost included in final payment Once you place your order, you can...

Stalking the OP photos. Looks like he is already running a Tempest weather station. Likely already pushing the data to WU.

Wasn't just sent to installers. Got this yesterday afternoon.

Here is a follow-up with a bill with Peco's true up. All my banked credits have been zeroed out and credited to me at actual rates (not discounted). I guess I could request a check for the credit ($745.88), but I am a net consumer through the summer/fall (A/C and pool heat pump big users) so...

No, they still get you on the distribution. However, you get the distribution credit for any kWh you send to the grid, regardless of time period. They dump all those credits into a bucket and apply them against your usage during any of the TOU periods. Below is a screenshot of my most...

My May 2022 payout was zero. At that time I was still running the standard flat rate plan and didn't have any credits banked. Now this year will be different. I am on PECO's TOU plan, and as of my current bill I have over 1,100 kWh banked for peak (2-6pm @ $0.30288/kWh). I won't burn...

Closing the loop on this. After a few online chats, I was escalated to the tier 2 team. A few weeks went by and they emailed me saying they made changes on their end and to check the app. App was still broken. Provided screen shots. A few days passed and I got a service request email...

Nothing changed to my wifi. I can see both inverters joined to the network and flowing data. They certainly are, since the reported output of the system matches what I historically see with the current weather. When I power cycled the equipment I actually cycled each neurio independently...

Seems that my app is broken (android). As of about a week ago, the only thing being reported is solar generation. PTO was in July 21. Completely missing home usage and what is being sent to the grid. This happened once before, last year, and fixed itself within a day or two on its own...

Following up on this. Here is a summary of my first bill on TOU rates. Very good generation month.

That's not going to be easy with Tesla. They won't "add" panels onto an existing system, even if they installed it. They will require you buying a whole new system if you want more. Do yourself a favor and go as big as possible now. I am regretting not moving a few roof vents so I...

Tesla tech was out today to install a "RGM" on my system. No PW's. I didn't get a chance to talk to him, but he left a nice note saying they added a Neurio. That would make 2 for my system as well. I think this one is installed just upstream of my 2 inverters, where the other is...

Maybe? I already have a Neurio from original installation. It's installed upstream of my generators ATS. My system is solar only, no PW's. My current flow. Utility Meter - Neurio - Solar - Generator ATS - Main Panel

11.9kW system 3.8 and 7.6 Tesla Inverters Installed Spring/Summer 2021 Got an unsolicited call from Tesla service today. They had me scheduled (unknown to me) for a service visit next month. Wanted to see if they could do it, tomorrow. Person on the phone said it is to install a revenue...

Not sure where your math plays out. If I assume just 60% of my generation is during the new TOU peak rate (which is probably conservative after a years data), that would put me at a net gain of $1,100 in savings. .6x13,610(0.283-0.145)=$1,126. Thats not even calculating the additional savings...

I am also in Chester County. The rates you show on the TOU chart is the Generation portion only. They don't include the distribution portion, which is a fixed rate of $0.07388/kWh. The hope for me is that by swapping to the TOU, with the vast majority of my solar generation is done at the...

Figured I would lean on the TOU experts for this one. Have a 11.9kW system, installed last year. Currently on a flat rate from my utility with full net metering. Have the option to go on to a new TOU plan that just started being offered in the last few months. Want to get some opinions...

Spec sheet for my Tesla inverters say "Allowable DC/AC Ratio 1.4"

Ask them for the single line diagram for your system.

You are correct. Mistyped. 3.8kW and 7.6kW were installed.

That isn't always the case. I have a 11.9kW system (all panels facing the same direction and plane) and Tesla provided me 2 inverters. A 3.6 and 7.2. Installed spring of 2021. From memory I have 3 strings of 340 watt panels. 12, 12 and a 11.

FWIW, my CT's were installed incorrectly by Tesla. Took them a few weeks to get them to come back out and fix. Even the fix wasn't done right and took a few more weeks to get them to install correctly. I have a whole house backup generator and no PW's. Tesla installed my solar output to...

4,000 sq/ft single family home. I am consistently 1.1kW - 1.3 kW all the time for a base load, 24/7/365. Some of my larger draws. Network/computer racks - 450-500watts Refrigerators/Freezers - 5 in total (1 full size refrigerator, 1 full size freezer, and 3 medium sized beverage/bar...

Could always get one of these and systematically check the plugged in items. I just picked up a few to confirm my larger power draws (non-hardwired stuff or big appliances that I don't feel like moving). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LN3C7WK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

FWIW, my system is coming up on a year old. 11.9kW with 2 Tesla inverters. A 3.8 and 7.6. Zero problems with them and they are whisper quiet. They are mounted outside on my master bedroom wall, on the first floor (bedroom right above them). Have never heard them unless standing right...

35 panel system across 2 roof sections. Had them add the pest abatement to the order before install, earlier this year. Cost was $1,500. If you can't get intouch with youradvisor, just call the main number. Seems that the pricing is pretty standard, so it should be a "relatively" easy...

Same here in SouthEastern PA. Around me, unless you want PW for outages, they make almost zero financial sense. My utility gives me 1 for 1 credit on any excess I push to the grid. Plus I am a flat rate of $0.145kWh, delivered (24/7/365), so rate arbitrage is pointless. I will always be a...

FWIW, I have a 11.9kW system. 3 strings (11, 11, and 12). All are on the same plane/direction. Tesla has me on 2 inverters, the 7.6 and 3.8. I have seen my system peak out at 11.6kW a few times (and even 11.7kW, very rarely) throuhgout the summer (Southeastern PA).

In my area (Southeastern PA), Tesla removed the powerwall requirement with panels at least 3 or 4 weeks ago. Quick screenshot of a current quote.

In PA you can order without PW again.

Just had my solar installed (no PW's) with my whole house generator with ATS. Solar was connected to the line side of the ATS, with the CT clamps placed above that. You can see in the pic the solar tapped into the line side and the CT's.

sic Those panels are just physically larger. Minimal increase in watts per sq/ft. My rough math of 18.16 (425 panel) vs 17.6 (340 panel). That slight increase is probably due to deceased frame area as overall footprint.

Took a quick look last night at my recent install (few months ago). Looks like the installers drilled holes in the bottom of the various conduit fittings. See below. Not going to climb on the roof to verify those, but safe to assume if they did it to the ones at ground level, they did it...

Yep, South Eastern PA (19311 zip). Tesla hasnt officially recognized my PTO. I am just going on the utility (PECO) provider stopping out last friday for the meter swap. He gave me a pamphlet that said among other things, that I could officially turn on my system, and that it would take them...

I may be wrong, but I don't think Tesla will submit the paperwork for PTO until you are paid in full. I called a little over 2 weeks after paying and was told the same "up to 90 days to submit". But within a day after the call, my utility sent me a message saying the paperwork was submitted...

Order one size up from what you think you will need. I ordered the max, and then worked with the advisor to fit the most in the roof area I wanted. They prorated the price down.

Unfortunately they no longer let you opt-out of the SREC buy out. I have been trying to get out of that provision for several weeks now, and they won't budge. After my last attempt my advisor sent me this "As has previously been communicated, Tesla does not currently offer contracts without...

Finalizing a system for SE PA. My annual usage is around 22kWh. I do not want any panels on the front of the house, so this is biggest I can go on the rear. Rear roof faces WSW and has zero shading. PVWatts has me around 14,649 kWh/Year. Only issue with Tesla has been trying to get...
