Simple question but how long does it take for Tesla to contact you? They already received their money ($100). I do expect this to take time.

Solar industry is becoming the greed hungry element that is leaching from folks that want to save a few dollars and feel they are contributing to saving the planet. By no means am I militant about recycling, solar and climate change but do believe a little helps. With that said if their wishes...

A large (veteran owned) company quoted me over $32k for 2 additional powerwalls. This is pre fed tax break. They are the one's that installed my previous powerwalls. Their cost has gone through the roof. I also looked at 2 other installers and there both around the same price. $31k and $29k...

Personally I have not had this happen but have read about this. With having my special needs child I can not afford to have this happen so I'm investing in more. It is crazy to think we have to buy batteries in the 21st century. Technology is moving forward expect reliable electricity.

Locked Rotor Amp - LRA. It is my understanding certain appliances with a high LRA will cause the powerwalls to shut down. I have 3 A/C units and if all 3 start at once this will trip the powerwalls off during grid outage.

I just placed the order minutes ago for 2 Powerwall's. I currently already have solar and 2 Powerwall's but I am upgrading. Due to having electricty shutoff during fire season and a special needs child, we are increasing our reserve. Also this will help eliminate the LRA issue (hopefully) when...

Thank you everyone for the help. The bids seem high and looking lead times for additional panels through Tesla is greater than 8 months in so cal. The frustrating part is here we all are in 2022 and do not have reliable electricity. 20 years ago I’d never think we would need to back up our homes.

I have been leaning at buying an additional two power walls and my last bid came in at 22,500 and highest at 36,000. My first two I received were from sgip program and very thankful. My question is 22,500 a good bid? Between psps, rolling black out, and medical baseline for my disabled son is...

Double check settings, look for your utility company and verify your rate plan is the same as it appears on your bill. You could also call them directly. Another option would be to switch to self powered. Though you might drain them (power walls) prior to 9 pm depending on usage. Btw how long...

To the original question a simple yes! Cost for a 3rd is running between 18 and 22 grand. Factor in electricity will only increase, rolling black outs, psps and the whole fossil fuel debate it is a no brained. My 2 cents

I’m also looking at adding a 3rd power wall and my lowest bid so far is 18.5k, highest is 22k. One company is adamant I need two gateways and have not even looked at my system. Regarding soft starts all 3 hvacs have them and so far all start when I go off the grid. Note I only start and stop...

2x powerwall 10.54 kWh pv Reserve for winter 40%, summer 10% I like my ac too much…

I’m interested if deal doesn’t go through. In San Diego

Just wanted to say hello and intro. New guy from Diego cali. Owner of power walls 2x. Hope everyone’s weekend is great!

Ty. PV is solid but with summer here and soon PSPS around the corner due to wildfires I pre planning and most likely need a bit more back up. As for the 2nd gateway I’ll see if the vendor tries to gouge me. Btw, my home is full back up with 200amp panel using 75% in capacity.

Interesting... So far only one installer is steadfast on installing a second gateway. Hasn't even looked at my system.

Hi Everyone, Just signed up! My first post and question, How many power walls can one gateway support/run? I own 2 pw's and thinking of adding 1 0r 2 more since I'm burning through electricity at night. My vendor I feel is up sailing me another gateway but have not found a definitive yes or no.
