    How does ESS handle AC voltage drop through long wiring?

    Thanks everyone for the replies. Sorry for mentioning Enphase-specific things in this Tesla forum. My purpose is to understand how battery inverter power is controlled in general (perhaps as well as Tesla and Enphase specific technologies), and I know there are enthusiastic experts like you on...

    How does ESS handle AC voltage drop through long wiring?

    Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand how the system controls the battery output. However, currently my batteries (Enphase IQ 5P) seem to over-react the demand feedback, causing oscillation of the output, as shown in this video. It causes a lot of unnecessary grid imports when the battery...

    How does ESS handle AC voltage drop through long wiring?

    I'm wondering how ESS batteries with embedded inverters handle AC voltage drop. In the following diagram: Solar || 0kW 0kW +------+ 130ft AWG 8 Wire Grid ====| 240V |==================================== Batteries(embedded...

    Summary of options for 3-foot requirement between main panel and gas riser

    Thanks to everyone for the replies. I promise I didn't say anything about TMC or ids in the emails to Tesla:p. I have asked them to cancel the project (otherwise they will wait until Nov 8 to cancel it). It's weird that they had set a date of cancellation, but didn't tell me until I asked for...

    Summary of options for 3-foot requirement between main panel and gas riser

    I replied to my Tesla advisor with the information from @Vines. They replied: So it seems that Tesla really doesn't want to do any project with any potential risk. I'm considering switching to another company, or going all electric. Now I have started a project to replace 20-year-old...

    Summary of options for 3-foot requirement between main panel and gas riser

    Thanks to Vines for the reply. Will my project (8.1 kW panel, PWs for whole house backup) use the existing service panel? The current panel is 200A, with 4 breakers for 2 AC units, an oven and a sub panel.

    Summary of options for 3-foot requirement between main panel and gas riser

    I started a solar panel and storage project in August, and the current step is Permit. I asked for updates of the project today, and the advisor replied: I really don't want to proceed with the project. Any suggestions to avoid the cancellation? I'm also asking the advisor for more information...

    Need 13,000 kWh annually; does that mean I should get 8.39 kW in panels?

    My project in south bay area just finished the initial design phase. It's 8.1kW, 11,254kWh/year, 30.8kWh/day, 3.8 peak hours/day. The panels are 10 south-southeast facing, 2 east-northeast facing, 8 north-northwest facing. I think the facing makes my peak hours even lower. The size is smaller...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Sorry, I didn't take any pictures. It's pretty much like Ear pain/Pressure help except that the wheel blocks some sight (but the whole well is still accessible). I also put more butyl almost covering the whole surface. I'm not sure about the amount noise reduction because I'm really not very...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Inspired by @MY-Y, I used epoxy putty to create a rigid cap over the stop. First, measure the length of the stop, then turn the stop all the way in. Add epoxy putty over the stop to create a cap and make the whole length a bit longer than the original length. Put a non-sticky paper on the putty...

    The province name is "Zhejiang" instead of "Zhijiang" for the station at GPS (27.78766225, 120.6702647)

    The "forum" link on supercharge.info led me here. The issue has been corrected. Thanks @mociaf9 for tagging the editor.

    Where to buy such clips/fasterners for interior panels?

    I removed some panels in the trunk to add some noise dampening materials, but some plastic clips (see the attached photos) dropped into places that are hard to reach. I searched the forums and amazon and haven't found anywhere selling them. Does anyone know where to buy them? Can these be...

    This is NOT new at all. The Chinese reservation page has been there since the first day of unveil. The reporter just happened to see the page yesterday and thought it was new.

    AFAIK from the news, the "ban" is not specifically to Nio, but Nio's new factory wouldn't satisfy the guidelines of new all-electric passenger car project with the capex that they can afford, so Nio canceled the factory plan voluntarily. Chinese electric carmaker Nio scraps Shanghai factory...

    The time stamp is 3/31 22:46 (UTC+8). Not sure when the original message in the screenshot was posted, but it looks like just a short time ago. Also not sure how much the number is "more than 10,000".

    A microblog from weibo.com: They delivered 10,000 in half a month.. Great internal execution. However, many friends taking delivery encountered more or less problems in their cars. The follow-up repairs might be a pitfall. (The attached image seems a screen shot of a message from a Tesla...

    It's not a swamp. Some lands in the area were reclaimed from the sea but they have been stabilized for many years. Google Earth history shows that the land had been farmland since as early as 2002. There was much water in the picture because it was just after a heavy rain and the drainage is to...

    GF3 will definitely lower the price of Tesla cars sold in China, but not necessarily cheaper than a the US to be competitive. In China, the current base price of an imported dual motor LR 3 is RMB 499,000 ($72,640), while in the US it's just $51,000 (RMB 350,339). The locally produced standard...

    Elon Musk on Twitter I think though pick-up has higher resource priority than Semi, Semi might come to marker sooner than pick-up (and even Y), because of the difference of initial volumes.
