I haven’t posted here in a while, too many other irons in the fire...but I thought I’d report on an update in my configuration (6.09 kWp, one Powerwall). My utility (a co-op) is a buy-all sell-all when it comes to solar. They want me to give them all of my production or none...if I happened to...

I’m sitting here tonight while Hurricane Dorian is churning up the NC coast, about 60 miles or so from my house. It should pass by overnight, about 20 miles offshore. I currently have grid power, Storm Watch is enabled and active, and the Powerwall reads 99%. However, it wasn’t easy getting...

This is really just an FYI, I didn’t see anything about this issue here, apologies if I missed it. We live at the NC coast, and while we have 4 seasons, it doesn’t often get really cold here. Today, with a high of 32F after a low of about 20F, is very unusual. So, about noon today, my house...

I started today at firmware 1.21.1, then went to 1.23.0, and now am at 1.24.0... Hmmmm.... -Joel

i just noticed that I’m now on firmware 1.23. Not sure if this is related to my recent support call to Tesla about my Powerwall “out of charge” situation I reported last night. -Joel

I am located in Emerald Isle NC, about 60 miles from where Hurricane Florence came ashore last week. We were in the Northeast quadrant and took quite a pounding. My house, 1/4 mile back from the beach, emerged essentially unscathed, so I count myself very lucky looking at my neighbors. Our power...

Well, I was wondering at what point Tesla would engage Storm watch. We got a hurricane warning (coastal NC) at about 5 pm today, and the Powerwall immediately went into Storm watch. We should not get to the point of power failures until Thursday night, so that’s probably early enough to get...

I’ve had my Powerwall about 3 weeks now, and it’s recorded two “events,” one the first day, of 5 seconds (I know when that one was) and one last night of 5 minutes. Is there any more detail (like time) available? I know the APIs seem to be an issue now with the 1.20 software update... It’s not...

I’ve had my Powerwall running just over a week now, and I’ve noticed that each day, the amount to the Powerwall is higher than the amount from the Powerwall. Maybe a half kW or so, sometimes a bit moreif I store/retrieve more power. Is this: AC-DC-AC round trip loss Power used by the Powerwall...

Ok, I thought I understood the charge rate of the Powerwall but I guess not :-) New Powerwall, just learning how it works. Had it in backup mode yesterday and it maxed at the 1.7 kW that I’ve seen mentioned here in the forums. However, today running in self-powered mode, it appears (based on...

Hi all, I’m a newbie here. Just got my Powerwall installed this week. So far so good. I have a modest solar system, 4.35 kW and one Powerwall, located on the North Carolina coast. I’m 100% self consumption (but with a grid connection), as my utility (a coop) doesn’t do net metering. I’ve got...
