I finally got my additional Powerwalls installed last week (yay!). They also replaced my original gateway with the new Gateway 2 and the tech added it to my local router network. I can control the Gateway fine in the app, but with Gateway One there was an option to stop the system, which I...

After taking into account all federal and state credits as well as the cost of electricity that I didn't have to pay for, I have officially reached the break-even point of my solar system after 60 MWh of production. Here is the math / details for people considering going solar: Cost of system...

I have major issues with the PSE&G power supply voltage sagging at my house in the afternoons (hot Summer I guess). The voltage drops to around 210 (which is bad in so many ways I know...) and at that point the Gateway forces the Powerwalls to kick on (app shows no grid). This also causes the...

I'm coming around rather rapidly to agreeing with the posts stating that optimizers are useless. I was able to clear off only 4 of 9 330 watt panels on one of my 3 strings to my 11.4 KW Solaredge inverter yesterday, completely unobstructed these 4 panels in full sun produced a whopping 8 watts...

I'm wondering if this is a software version bug as I was quite far away from a hard braking SUV in front of me and the braking was way too hard and exaggerated. My 4 year old daughter in the car seat did NOT like the experience! Had anybody been behind me I could easily have been rear ended...

I was keeping the Powerwalls switched off as I only plan on using them during a power outage and don't need instant switchover. FYI this is a bad idea. The gateway needs a power source when power fails, and without a functioning gateway the Powerwalls won't turn on. I saw some posts about...

I'm over paneled by what I think is a pretty standard 1.2 ratio with 13.2KW of panels feeding a Solaredge 11.4 KW inverter. The current Coronavirus emergency has screwed up my usage for the year, so I probably won't be able to add more panels despite needing more because we now have a second...

I read an interesting statement here NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Cloud Climatology: Distribution and Character of Clouds Specifically "Over land there are more clouds, with higher reflectivity, in the afternoon." If I am to take this at face value, should it not be possible to make more...

So rumors have it that there is a ludicrous mode in the Model 3 code. If I could gain 0.5 seconds 0-60, I would 100% spend the extra $2K if that was the price. But realistically they are going to make sure that the Model 3 is still a tenth of a second slower than the S. What are some realistic...

Not sure how i feel about this because I can't really wrap my head around whether this is a good thing financially or not... I turned my solar system on during the second week of June, and promptly called PSE&G to change my annual production reconciliation date to March. Although I knew that my...

I'm curious what the difference is. I'm a little worried I may not be able to turn the Powerwalls back on if I turn it off through the UI.

I'm having massive issues with utility line voltage sagging and screwing up both the Solar inverter production as well as my 2 PW2 functions. My grid voltage will sag below 210 volts, and it seems the SolarEdge inverter can only pump out a specific amount of amps, so as it tries to match the...

.. but sadly I didn't have Sentry mode on. My brand new P3D+ was parked in Upper Montclair (NJ) parking lot, there was a witness who saw the beige/gold 97-99 Lexus ES300 with NY plates in the pics below back out and hit my car after 3:15pm on Saturday 3/23, but they didn't get the plate. I...

Just wanted to know i others are experiencing significant oversteer when applying corner exit throttle. It's caught me by surprise a few times and it doesn't seem like the traction control catches it. I have to countersteer and it straightens out the car almost predictably but it's a little...
