    "100% Self powered" but still receiving charges for energy import

    I will get a photo of it tonight and pull up the diagram from Tesla (although, they diverged from it during the install)

    "100% Self powered" but still receiving charges for energy import

    @sorka it's not hard to understand conceptually :). It's hard for me to understand how this was done in the same electrical panel.

    "100% Self powered" but still receiving charges for energy import

    I think I got to the bottom of this. Yesterday I shut off the main breaker to see if anything would stop working and surprisingly, my AC heat pump shut off. It seems like somehow it was wired up to bypass the Powerwall and go straight to the grid. Surprisingly, the AC air handler is fully backed...

    "100% Self powered" but still receiving charges for energy import

    @getakey I see tiny blips, presumably when the PW is syncing with the grid. My power company just got back to me, said "looks like everything is working normally". :rolleyes:

    "100% Self powered" but still receiving charges for energy import

    I think because my power company doesn't integrate costs correctly with Tesla, I don't have the "Balanced" option in my app. Images below of app settings and the graphs.

    "100% Self powered" but still receiving charges for energy import

    Hi everyone, I have solar tiles and 2 power walls in sunny (and sometimes smokey) California. As of mid April I have been--according to the Tesla app--100% self powered, however I am receiving non-trivial energy import readings from my electric company: April: 42kWh May: 46kWh June: 82kWh July...

    Tesla Charging $2200 for MCU1 replacement

    I'm dealing with Tesla right now on this. They said "sometime next year" which is essentially forever with Tesla. I don't blame them for their priorities but am very disappointed. I have two teslas and a solar tile roof as well. Doesn't seem to matter to them how long you've been supporting...

    Tesla Charging $2200 for MCU1 replacement

    Hi, I just got screen bubbles in my 2013 Model S as well and am looking for the same info. Did you figure this out?

    Power from solar tiles seems crazy high

    Here are some other images. The close-up of the tile shows the solar cells fairly well.

    Power from solar tiles seems crazy high

    Right you are. Looking at the design, it looks like the estimate would be about 23kWh daily average so the numbers seem right. Thanks!

    Power from solar tiles seems crazy high

    OK so I got my solar tile roof back in Feb and the team did a fantastic job putting it on. Granted it took longer than expected but the end result is better than I was hoping for. There were some changes in the electrical scheduled prior to final permitting when... COVID came along. So I have a...

    Got my Tesla solar tiles installation proposal and...

    @Dutchie, I mistyped, my apologies. The proposal says "13 kW system size" with total energy production of 10,000 kWh per year. I think these would be cheaper than conventional if you lived forever, nothing ever broke, and you never did any remodeling on your house. All of those are impossible...

    Got my Tesla solar tiles installation proposal and...

    The size of my roof and orientation to the street (high pitch, corner lot) would make the panels too ugly for me to live with. That's what made me so interested in the solar tiles (plus, termites don't eat glass yet). But now that the tiles are about to move off the table, I may consider...

    Got my Tesla solar tiles installation proposal and...

    Yikes. The price of the Tesla solar tiles installed on my house went up 50% from when I used the calculator and placed my deposit back when they were announced. We had a tech come out last year and fly a drone over the house, and the price went up about 7%. But a whopping 50% is not close to...

    Phone as Key Issues

    I just hit this issue as well. Two Teslas--one MS and now M3. Wife drives M3 and card key stopped working, saying "disconnected". I have iPhone X, she has iPhone 6. I think there are a couple issues here, reliability of bluetooth is separate. The Tesla app should allow multiple user...

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    I’m slow on the reply, sorry @ywg2san ... I ordered online on announcement day pretty much as soon as possible (after the servers weren’t crashing). Car #4114 was ready a bit over a week ago. There were about 18 cars waiting to be picked up, and I can pretty much guarantee they weren’t moving...

    Firmware 8.1

    Sad news :( . I pulled the latest update of firmware the other day and want to give a heads up to others. Lately Tesla updates have been getting sketchy on my 2013 Model S 85. The most recent update broke the climate system such that now the heater doesn't work. Also the search function is...
