    Does Tesla ever install solar + powerwall systems using Line Side Tap? (In California with PG&E)

    @slcasner, a panel swap might be unavoidable since you only have 100A service. Do you have a part number of the panel, or can see a label or what the busbars are rated to? Some have busbars that are rated at higher than what the main breaker is, and are often sold just with different breakers...

    Does Tesla ever install solar + powerwall systems using Line Side Tap? (In California with PG&E)

    @slcasner Basically, the breaker would come out, and you can use Polaris type connectors to run it onto to the gateway via more wire. Anyway, as @Vines has said, there are ramifications with the UL listing etc, so this is not something you would really want to do ideally and I would recommend a...

    Does Tesla ever install solar + powerwall systems using Line Side Tap? (In California with PG&E)

    There are inventive ways to do this, but it depends on if the AHJ accepts it with a combination meter main, (and the type of meter main type). I was able to get mine to agree to bypassing the main breaker and busbars and route conductors directly to the gateway with the service disconnect now...

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Anyone here also using OhmConnect and enable this? I guess it could either really help if the events were during the same periods (likely), however may also really harm the OhmConnect baselines if they run it more often than Ohmhours.

    Brand New Powerwall Gateway (ver1)

    New and unused Gateway 1. Never fitted but leftover from a referral powerwall install where it was not needed due to existing powerwall. All sensible offers considered. SoCal area.

    How does a certified electrician make this mistake?

    When my Powerwall installer relocated my Dishwasher and Waste Disposal, they messed up and put them on breakers that were no longer adjacent, and I guess either forgot, or did not know they needed to be tied together. I never noticed myself for a year or two, and only recently found out. They...

    Certified Powerwall installers in SoCal area

    Water heater: Gas to electric conversion illegal in California?

    They actually had rebates on them last year also. I got a $500 credit from SCE. I did pretty well considering that I also got it when it went on sale for $1000 at some point, and also I claimed the $300 Fed credit too. All in all including the parts I paid to install, it cost me about $400...

    Self installation of a PowerWall

    Also consider the Panasonic Evervolt. There are AC and DC coupled versions, and the plus version has some specs that are better in some regards than a single powerwall. Its also expandable with extra batteries.

    CA solar/PW folks: what HVAC unit would you purchase today?

    I replaced my old 13 SEER with a 3 Ton Lennox 20 SEER variable speed heat pump a couple of months ago, and so far I am very impressed with not only how quiet the thing is, but also how little energy it uses. Air quality and comfort also seems better, and I didn't even do the HEPA filter add on...

    Has Anyone Who Ordered the Tow Hitch Received a Vin?

    Those inTech campers seem to have a really high tongue weight versus the trailer weight and is over spec for even the 19 or 21" wheels. You would need to do something to add weight at the back of the trailer to try and bring it closer. Ideally 10-15% is the magic figure for tongue weight...

    Has Anyone Who Ordered the Tow Hitch Received a Vin?

    My guess is that either the tires on the 20" wheels, or the wheels themselves are the limiting factor. Perhaps the induction wheel itself is supplied by somebody else, and may have been deemed weaker under the torque + weight of the added trailer, versus the 19 or 21". I guess if it was...

    @cwied What are you using to interface with the API? I’ve been looking to set something up myself to automate this thats not too involved. I was looking the other day and saw one or two python based solutions, and I guess you’d use that via a Raspberry Pi? Interestingly, when I deleted my...

    Tesla will support wifi garage opener soon

    Although I have the Homelink module in my car, I sometimes like to open it a bit further out from the house so that its already open when I get there. Since I had been dabbling around with home automation for a while, I built this: It's not too difficult to do if you have a good home...

    Wifi HPWC & its application as a Distributed Energy Resource (DER)

    You can already do DER programs without the need for any specific EVSE with a Tesla. I've been using Ohm Connect in California for a few years and they are already linked up to my cars via a Tesla API to turn charging off if they call a reduction event. Ohm Connect aside (way more lucrative...

    WTB: NIB gen2 wall connector

    Hopefully they release a higher power version for anyone with dual chargers. I think the wifi is required now to get certain subsidies in certain countries and also it allows for better management of load sharing of more chargers, rather than the somewhat limited (4 think) previously via RS485.

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    I guess having Wifi can also perhaps assist with signaling the charge rate to either stop or increase based on PowerWall mode, or solar generation etc. Obviously they could do this via the car, but at least doing this on a persons home network perhaps ensures better availability in the event of...

    Mode change update speed

    Is it me, or was I just lucky (2 or 3 times in a row) recently when switching from backup mode to self powered and back etc, that the power wall changed mode almost immediately, and without the usual lag of 30-60 mins. for whatever batch update method they used to use to need to complete?
