Fixed, by turning off the inverter and keeping it off for some time to let the data pass thru dry

Can some one advise if similar situation ? increased every day , now 18 minutes for house consumption in home screen Solar - no lag Import export char - looks ok Looks to be a Tesla could issue ...

ok, if inverter peaks for 3 hours every day, will that not reduce inverter life ? or is that not a concern As i said my 8.16 system was at 7.2 kwh continuous in late Oct for 1 hours daily when sunny, when i got it installed . My roof is aligned best for summers It once touched 7.6 max too. I...

its increasing to 12 minutes now

solar customer only I had multiple issues with my Neurio , which were resolved recently by Tesla by a field trip Data lag was not one of them It looked like it worked fine for 2 days and now i have a persistent 8 minute data lag since 2 days in home screen Interestingly the energy import...

So all my issues above r resolved finally 2 days back It worked fine for 2 days Just noticed a new one , which was not there earlier There is a 7 to 8 minute lag in the streaming data So data is updating fine - every 5 seconds may be ,but i am just getting a history in point of time say 8...

1) look liek CT plug is opposite installed 2) poor connection is broken between between inverter and neurio. perhaps due to antenna installed inside of metal cage ?

Hi MNCE, I am having both the issues I am PTO, and still exploring all the bugs, as we speak I have only one Tesla inverter and neurio. neurio antenna is installed inside metal panel, which is bad bad. But not sure if that is the cause 1) Directing of flow in home page is the opposite. i am...

I downloaded the data from the Tesla app. It looks the data is correct in xls Two issues seems to be happening 1) The direction of the grid flow in home page is the opposite of the data in the xls in day fixing the opposite direction . So now at least all my energy charts will make sense and...

I have tesla inverter and that reports directly the solar data unlike in other thread it looks like his solar data is also coming from neurio. My neurio has only the main grid connection My solar data seam's to come correctly from inverter and is updated frequently , which makes it meaningful...

I compared energy flow direction with with Tesla data , and Tesla neurio is completely opposite and does not update for many a minutes .... They also installed the neurio antena inside the meta cage. Not sure if that is the issue or what is the issue

New install pre PTO My Solar app data does not make much sense. ( non powerwall customer ) Is there a guide ? i could not find it. I think my neurio setup may have issues. i am still pre PTO I need to understand 1) frequency of updates - is the app real time ? mins is defiantly not. more like...

"Pre-arranged, paid for and done at install" Did they gave you this option, or did you ask for it ? How much did they charge approx ? My rep is not responsive, it will be a humongous task to get anything from tesla.

Good idea. I think that will settle the question of AC vs DC , which pulse will be more effective .

Can you please advise more How can i get this done Did you pay tesla or a 3rd party Does it void Tesla warranty if 3rd party If tesla did it , was it a option before the install I doubt they will run a new truck roll , just to install a screen

So i am guessing, removing a panel or 2 is allowed. Customer will get not discount for those removed paneles Adding 1/2 panels is not allowed ? Please advise ? I have another install i need , with limited roof size.

I am in the DC metro , and apparently squirrels are a big issue here, and chew things and damage solar The local solar installers always charge extra and install squirrel guard ..what ever that is. Mammals have teeth, and they use them I was not informed / given a choice in Tesla install Since...

Yes And the results are in front of you, where same time, same orientation ...shading is making difference as published above panel level is better ( original order ) than 4 string mppts vs 3 strings mppts vs 2 strings mppts I just my feet down that i will not accept below 3 mppts for 24...

Does any one know if with Tesla 8.2 kwh panels , if all panels are pointing south and ideally azimuthon , can clipping happen with 7.6 inverter ? I am in DC latitude . Its just a feel good curiosity . I am excited about my all south facing roof...

i never heard , you can pick and choose the number of panels with tesla. I thought they come with fixed packages of panels and inverters 4/8/12 So u should have 48 panels. Please educate me

They also removed the jumper now between 3 and 4 mppts. each string has its mppt now and 4th is empty

I am happy to say , after months of %$#^@ , i got my 3rd string Data is S1 : 8 panels: all shade shade 253 V / .6 amp S2 : 8 panels half shaded 240 V / 1.5 amp S3 : 8 panels panels : no shade 262 / 5.8 amp

Its going to be a month. Its stalemate. My coordinator refused to call back or reply to my emails to address this issue, incomplete carpenter and other issues. Carpenter was supposed to come in after 3 days of install to fix cables Each time i call, a new rep says , they will get back to me...

Its been thru couple of rains. I thought the same. but am assuming the sun and rain would wash off anything... I never had a close up look, just saw it up on roof.

I am very happy to get the device, and its very useful for me . I just don't understand why Tesla is providing it. It costs money. There must be a future plan , a plan that can be monetized.

No. No. It just has these shades, and the white lines appear in morning due/moisture.

This is a new install - pre PTO ( untested ) Have Tesla inverter, so cannot and will not be able to do any panel level monitoring in the future. One panel has distinct looks , or manufacturing anomalies among other panels. Its installed horizontally, and you can see these different color...

This is a rather technical engineering question Any comments explaining the opposite design are welcome I had solaredge earlier and at around 99 percent efficiency , its is completely passively cooled I think it has no wholes/vents for air to flow freely outside, its a completely enclosed case...

Yes sir. Its all 100% Tesla. U can see by the looks.

I cant image only one screw is at fault here. If its only one screw, then this is expected to happn, it's a matter of time Yes. There is one channel were i have exactly heard these stories , how solar is bad....and will cause damage to roof , leak etc But its not that solar itself is bad. some...

Yes. I am frustrated with tesla in general .That is true. That should not change the below facts As mentioned in their doc, it should be able to withstand wind of 115 miles. I think they mean everything, including the skirts, and not limited to panels only. I am not sure , why the skirts...

Never seen this before or even heard of it ( except fox news) But in 1 week, its started to fall apart , "without any weather event." Wonder , how will it fair after a weather event ??? All other videos i have seen, solar panels staying put, even after a weather event. So judging by the...

In my case i have told them , i will not pay, untill they install my 3rd string, as i requested before install , and they had agreed to. I have shading issue , by neighbors -tree huggers on both sides So far , they r not committing What will happen next ? can they threaten a uninstall ?

Short story is Order Solar in April . Tesla approved design with solaredge due to shading issues Tesla changed inverter to Tesla Inc I requested 3 strings for shading They agreed , but They installed only 2 They asked payment. I have refused Stalemate now....

Adding to this, i don't have Powerwall, only the Tesla inverter. Why did they install this. This will give data for whole house energy consumption. its installed to main cables. The inverter will have its own solar production. it has its own connectivity. This is like a free grift But nothing...

Adding to the original story I have 24 panels. What is the maximum number of panels into one string , which can go into one MPPT ? Tesla says , they have divided into 3 groups using 2 mppts One string is purely serial, with one has 2 parallel substrings I think i read , one string cannot...

New customer here, I just open my panel and and saw the Neurio Wifi antenna is installed inside the panel., and the antenna is not placed outside the panel. Is this normal or just poor quality install. Should i ask for a fix, as i am going to relocate my router soon. Also Tesla says , u can...

How do you see this String level details ? is it in the Tesla app ?

Attaching 1 more picture. 4 black wires are coming in . 2 reds cables in String 1+ and string 2+ 2 Black cables in 1- and 4- 3 and 4 strings are combined I don't understand this setup. Can any one see the line diagram ( 2nd post picture ) and confirm is also supporting 2 strings only ?

Shading of branches happens on roof in morning one side and evening other side. Installation is done, i am running it all the time , but my car app does not show my inverter as of now. County inspection on Monday. I asked for solaredge or 3 strings . Got this. I am no expert in putting...

attaching picture He said , panels r wired with 3 strings, but combined on roof to make it 2 But looking at picture, it looks like some combining is also done down in the inverter

7.6 Tesla inverter and 24 panels All my panels - 24 are pointed south, but i have trees and shading on each side of the roof. So i asked tesla to install at least 3 strings. But they told me , since their pipe coming down is not thick enough- only for 4 cables, they have 3 strings, but 2...

Actually my question was for a single meter only, generally about NEM . I am trying to understand , what would be the best way to reduce the NEM 2 changes for a singe meter , when you are both producing and consuming I trying to understand, withing an hour , if my solar is generating say 2 KWH...

Question on hourly energy aggregation with NEM2 ? In regards to Solar , I wanted to understand , if the meters return 2 separate readings per hour , one consumption , and 2nd for solar generation and send it back, and its totaled at the server OR this calculation is done at the meter itself ...

Miimura / Others, It was suggested, to use the PGE smart meter to read the consumption data. Is there any way to get this data or download this data , broken down on a hourly or daily basis ? I have had solar inverter working for 2 days , and generating electricity. When i goto the opower...

Its not just PGE , if the 7x270w panels have a impact on the electrical panel load , it may need a city code review. May be if you have a 200Amp electric panel , this may not be big enough

Good question and good question. If the limit is for peak , which i think is the case .....it should be peak. I like the world 'solar panel police' , but they need to define the policies very clearly , before the police can execute its crimes.....

Can someone suggest a link , how does Powerwall logic work. How does it decide, when to charge ? As i understand, the best way would be to connect to the smart meter zigbee and get Net Metering data if its +/- If i decide to charge my EV on solar , it would be similar logic as well.
