If my PW is at 20% and an automation rule is run where the backup reserve is increased to 50%, self powered and grid charging enabled, would the PW automatically charge to 50%?

Just wanted to give an update. Tesla came by and fixed the issue. None of my panels had the set screw installed. The part that irked me was They made me sign an agreement that I would be charged a $350 service visit fee if the damage was not covered under warranty.

Is there a way to set the charge level when it’s charging from the grid for those with a free nights plan? Like I would like to charge the battery to 50% at the start of my free time and then to 100% before the end of my free time. I’m trying to decrease the amount of time the battery sits at...

1st story and should be accessible with a ladder. The panels seem to be working normally thankfully so I think it’s mostly cosmetic.

How long is the warranty on install? I think this piece fell off. It’s been more than a year since install.

I think you are onto something. But using the battery for another 3 hours especially when the AC is running will quickly deplete it to the minimum reserve.

Will this actually affect the charging since the PW will follow the peak/off peak schedule? I think what shingles posted above is the key. But still need to figure out how to charge it at 50% and not use it.

I am also not an engineer but I have an inquisitive mind. What do you think about charging battery to 50% starting at 9pm and then to 100% at 5am? Would This prolong battery life? Is there even a way to enable this in netzero?

I am on free nights so PW charges to 100% by 11pm and doesn’t get used until 7am. Should I be worried about it sitting at 100% over 8 hours? The additional 8% buffer (over 14kw total) makes me think it’s okay…thoughts?

This. The PW has more than 14kw total storage

Such a tempting price. I’m also in the 1 PW camp. Are the new twins PW3?

That is actually pretty incredible savings with space heaters! How many space heaters do you have and how much kw do they use when all are running? Do they decrease the humidity too much or make the house feel too dry? That has always been one of my gripes with natural gas heating but it might...

thanks for the update, now its correctly showing up as 13.5 for the warranted capacity here in USA!

Thank you for this app! I have never been able to figure out how to logon to my powerwall and was wondering about it's health. This is what i see, how accurate is this?

sadly the CT wouldn't fit in my garage anyways (width is the limiting factor)

Ty for the links! Those are some big fans! Please Share some pics of the mounting and the radiant barrier. My garage door has some foam on the inside. Don’t know if that counts.

They were pushing me to install on the outside but I thought with the extreme temp ranges and direct sun during the summer that it would be worse than the garage. What kind of fans did you add?

that's a different shed compared to one in the third picture of your previous post. but this shed also is propped up on stone?

Is that the craftman 5x2 shed? I just bought the same one coincidentally. just wondering what you used as a base? it looks like pavers. the instruction manual was saying a slab of concrete or a woodframe but i'm just trying to make my life easy

Looks great. How much was the mini split install? And how do you check the temps of the PW?

What do you have the off peak price buy/sell listed at in the Tesla app?

Is there any easy way to see how much kW one exports per month? I did search the forum and did not find anything prior to posting.

The cyber orange is an incredible color and the MME looks better inside and out. I think the suspension especially on the GTPE is much better than the MYP. Last year there was a point where the MME was equal to the price of the MY but because of the tax credit it was cheaper. At the current...

I’m using justenergy which is similar to amigo. Summer will be the true test.

Got my referral check, timeframe about 90 days from install.

The goal is to improve grid reliability for my home and lower costs. The Uri storm in 2021 opened my eyes and never want to go through that again. The interesting thing is with free nights electrical plans and ability to charge from grid on new installs in 2023, the battery might be more cost...

Forgive my ignorance but what does that mean?

It seems that my 7.6KW solar system with 1PW is installed as a whole home backup. Any idea why? I have attached my system design. I don’t realistically expect to run both of my AC units in the event of power loss. Any advice?

My PW charges nightly to 100% with grid charging on free nights. What would this Hubitat do?

Awesome! Are they mailing you checks? How long did it take for your solar buyback to be added? I am wondering if Just Energy will let me extend my contract before it’s up. I only signed up for 12months.

New Tesla EFL for DFW but I think free nights is still cheaper. I also was scared about the market securitization charges but thankfully they seem to be minimal.

How much is the check? That is a long time, I have to be more patient.

My display was the same with gateway on the same version but now it shows a section with solar inverter underneath. Maybe this is the new app version

Big balls for 60months!! You are making me second guess signing up for only 12mo of free nights with Just energy. I have no idea how my smallish system will handle the summer plus likely more people living at home…

I briefly looked but couldn’t find anything in DFW. What do you think of this form? https://comptroller.texas.gov/forms/50-123.pdf

Fascinating. I wonder if there is something like this in DFW. My 2023 appraisal hasn’t come in yet. When did you get solar installed?

I was able to fully pay my system with CC in January 2023. I did get a ton of automated notices saying my account was going to collections for weeks despite being fully paid off and multiple requests to customer service to stop the spam….

Got my first bill with justenergy. They did not give me any credit for solar buyback. I think I may actually be positive with my production last month. Should I call or will I get flagged?

They charged me 9k for one PW and 3500 to install it…thinking if I want to get another one cuz grid charging at night for free is a sweet deal

If I own my system and it was installed this year, Can I charge my PW at night with the free night plan? Will this affect my ability to get tax credit next year?

Yes, multiple options in DFW

Agreed. What is the prices for the day portion?

That’s a good deal. But free nights is better!

1. I have JustEnergy Free nights. I set the off peak buy pricing to .04 even though it is actually free so that my powerwall charges more with my generated solar. Did I do this correctly? 2. Can I charge my Powerwall for free at night (grid charging)? I do have the option but it is currently set...

That’s incredible for a 12kw system! I’m in Dallas with a 7.6kw and generated 38kw yesterday. Don’t know if that is good or bad but not all my panels face south.

Posted too quickly. I have PTO and live in Dallas how do I get this fixed? My install was last month and I do have PTO.

I got my powerwall installed 1/2023. Can I charge via grid?
