You have Eversource? I have National Grid. With some help from Tesla yesterday, I was able to get my application submitted via the iOS app. My current status says "Application Pending" - the waiting game has begun.

I just PTO'd last week, and I tried signing up for the VPP option in the ioS app on the phone. It fails every time I try to submit the app with the attached. I'm on hold with Powerwall support but WTF? the 95+ degree days are coming this week and I was hoping to get into the program, as I signed...

Tesla finished installing our solar roof today and lit everything up, commissioned the 4 PW's and tested everything, including Off-Grid test and the installer showed me how all came back green. However, I couldn't see the installation in my App at all, until I called and spoke to someone in...

Thanks a TON, this is very helpful - I did confirm that yes, National Grid territory is at block 10 here and essentially full/worthless. I think this makes SMART overall darn near worthless to me - which again is fine, I had it good for a very long time on the old system. I am enrolled in...

Ok, appreciate the insight - but the lingering question is 'when the new solar roof from Tesla is installed and activated (in 1 month), will I be eligible to start the program over because it is a new system, and get sizable payments quarterly as I had gotten from the SREC program on the old...

Does anyone know what being part of the SMART program here in MA actually gets me? I have had a legacy 6kw solar system that was on the house when i bought it 4 years ago. It was installed by Sunbug solar back in the day 10 years ago and the SREC payments were transferred to me of course when I...

Yep, understood, but the question was really about whether I have to leave any room in the backup panel to connect some Tesla stuff - and my guy is saying NO, not needed. But as for your setup, that's a really cool way to get whole house backup - in my case, while I debated having 2 gateways...

So the Tesla electrician I've been assigned just got back to me - and he is saying that they don't need any breakers at all for "their/Tesla stuff" on my backup panel - keep in mind in case you've lost the thread, I have 400A service to the house, served as 2x200A panels next to each other in...

Need some quick help if possible - my electrician is separating circuits today on the 2 panels so that we have 1 panel for backup loads and 1 panel for non-backed up loads - the question is a simple one - do we need to leave any open circuit slots on the "backup panel" for any of the Tesla...

Roger that, will do.

Question as I approach scheduling for next month here - who produced this excellent diagram? you or Tesla? Would you be willing to share the actual file with me, for me to manipulate for my setup? I am going to need to move about 4-6 circuits over (or Tesla will have to) to the backup panel...

Interesting. I'm waffling a bit I know, but after reviewing my panels closely tonight, I really will not be able to get all critical loads into 1 panel - it's just not feasible. I think I may be back to the idea of going with 2 gateways, and designating 2 Powerwalls for each gateway/panel. 2...

Mine is spec'd as a 20.6 kW system, so if what you're saying is true, SMART wouldn't be an option for me anyway - to complicate things further, my home has been on SMART for 10 years this year, because of a legacy 6kW panel system. My SREC payments just went from about 350 per quarter, down to...

Interesting - I am about to get scheduled for Solar Roof +4 powerwalls, and I have the same thing - 2x200A panels - I am debating whether to try and backup everything which would require me to have 2 Gateways, versus just going with traditional single gateway and trying to move 4-6 circuits over...

BG, thanks a ton! Couple thoughts... 1. One of my biggest concerns believe it or not, is whether say 4-6 of the existing pinned up romex lines can even be moved/stretched to reach the 2nd panel - I am unclear if there is some way that electricians "stretch" the line to be able to reach a...

Excellent advice, thanks again - I am going to document the BackupLoad panel today (and by elimination, the non-backed up panel also)...because of some recent electrical work, nothing is labelled on the panel, though I have mapped about 70% of it so far. Follow up questions if you don't mind - I...

Very helpful, thank you! I am not interested in having 2 separate systems (split brain syndrome I'd term it, which only leads to problems later). I'd rather make the tough choices now then, and determine what loads should be moved to the 'BackUp panel' - as long as the Tesla assigned electrician...

I'm in the scheduling phase (finally) after a 2-year wait for my Massachusetts Solar Roof install w/ 4 powerwalls. I have 400A service to the house, served by 2x200A basement panels. My advisor just told me that because I'm part of the SMART program in MA, that they can only backup 1 panel and...
