Tesla Energy

My app is not reading correctly. I believe the installer has the app coded incorrectly. Does anyone have the manual on how to program the app wizard. Not sure how to set the CTs? There is a check box for "flip" not sure how to set, etc.

As I stare at all my Battery Packs around the house (the latest was for a powerful Leaf Blower), all Lithium and different voltages, I can't help wonder if this couldn't be built into a Powerwall. Yes, Tesla would need to either Partner or Develop hand tool products for the yard and such. Elon...

Reuters - this morning: U.S. trade panel recommends solar panel import restrictions

So the spec for the discharging rate is 7kW peak / 5kW continuous, and I've noticed that during my grid outage, it serves pretty good and exceeded the 7kW spec for peak usage. However, the charging rate to the powerwall 2 is peaked out at 3.3kW from my solar panel, so any excess is sold back to...

Anyone else get 1.9.1? I notice that my PWs updated this morning.. This update still doesn’t allow me to charge my PWs from the grid. Currently my PWs are at 40% charge. If I set the reserve to 100% in self powered mode or backup mode my solar generation charges the PWs and the house is fed...

I’ve seen this kind of answered. Figured a dedicated threat might be easier. Looking to see (I don’t want to assume is perfectly synced with grid) when a drop of utility powe happens. what has your actual experience been with the transfer. Ie a blink of lights, or not even that. The. Pop up...

During a power outage, the Backup Gateway will isolate the house from the grid, and the Powerwall will allow the solar inverter to continue to operate. For an extended outage, when the Powerwall is completely drained overnight, will it able to start the solar inverter the next morning when the...

State PUC announced 15 cent overnight grid payback for solar/battery owners. Payback periods in HI just dropped quite a bit. PUC expands opportunities for customers to install solar, battery energy storage systems

Getting 4 Tesla Power Walls and Solar system installed will charge my Tesla and power my house can't wait. If I choose I can disconnect from the grid in NJ

Tesla shared photos today of its first solar and battery instillation in Puerto Rico at a children’s hospital in San Juan. The company said the project at Hospital del Niño is the first of many going live to support the recovery of Puerto Rico following destruction caused by Hurricane Maria...

or are those for commercial applications only?

i just charged my powerwall today to 99%(that is where it stopped charging). Inknow it didn’t discharge to my home today and about 3 hours later, the powerwall is at 97%? Is there a vampire drain? Does anybody else experience this? Given tthst the 1.9 software is not allowing the powerwall to...

I am having a PW2 installed this week. The original plan, was to install a critical load panel. Essentially to intercept my sub panel and add additional needed circuits. However, the more I think about it, why wouldn't I just back up the entire house? I have 7KWH solar system (enphase) and I...

Just on the phone with the techs at Tesla, regarding an issue with the Powerwall 2 does not initiate self-power mode anymore. I noticed this issue after the Tuesday 1.9.0 OTA update, and I attempted to switch between Backup only and Self-power to see if it will trigger the change, nothing...

as more and more powerwalls start to make their way into the wild, i'm wondering if anyone has used multiple powerwalls to completely disconnect themselves from the grid. to be clear, is there anyone that was once grid tied that no longer even pays an access/connection fee to their ex electric...

Hi everyone. Trying to get definitive insight on this before doing risky experiments. Couldn't find anything on this elsewhere... Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone! My Founders Powerwall 2 experience seems a bit different from some of the other posts here, so I thought I'd start a new thread about it. Mods: Please feel free to merge in to another thread. Contact Method: Phone and personalized email I received a call from a Tesla Energy...

Does anyone know of a way to donate to Tesla's efforts to help Puerto Rico and other islands hit hard by the hurricanes? Tesla is helping out by installing solar panels and Powerwall's to help with emergency power supplies for the island.

My situation: have EV/PV, NEM 1.0, net generator Unless I'm mistaken, I spoke with SDGE solar/EV specialist, who told me that any energy put back into the grid via Powerwall will be credited at retail pricing. At year end in March during "true up", any unused credits will be converted to...

Although I use an iPhone, I control my house from my PC (in my case Windows 10) e.g. Wind Turbine/Security Camera/Entertainment Channels etc. For me, it would be helpful and logical if I could view my Powerwall 2 data this way as well. I am sure that if there are enough of us interested, Tesla...

Hi all, I just got my email for the Founders Series Powerwall 2 from the referral program. Unfortunately, my wife and I are not in a position to have it installed at our house so we are trying to sell it. I can transfer the Powerwall and installation to the person who purchases it. This...

Those of you that have multiple Powerwalls, have you looked at what your rate your PWs charge at when charging from the grid? Currently, I have two Powerwall 2s installed but I noticed that when the PWs are charging from the grid they charge at 3.3kw total. Anyone else have the same issue?

I noticed I got updated to 1.9.0 today. The web UI looks like the smartphone app now, and it has a big red STOP button now. Not sure what the other changes are; I haven't tried running the wizard yet.

Two different people from two different solar companies who both sell Tesla Powerwall have told me that Tesla Solar Roof does not meet the 2014 NEC and so cannot be installed in states that have adopted 2014. However, California has adopted 2014 and I believe Ohio has as well which are the two...

I am posting out of curiosity to see if anyone has actually received their Referral PW2 units or even a link or survey about them. I am now owed 3 of these, 1 from each of this years programs and I have heard nothing. I have also sent multiple emails to [email protected], Mark Toffey...

Hello, Our family finds ourselves in a difficult situation - we are moving (unexpectedly) to California and have just contracted with Solar City to install a new solar system on our home in Austin (which we are now selling). The panels and (2) Powerwalls are installed, but not yet active. While...

I was reading about the powerwall. I notice TOU shift loading is not available at the moment. Is this really a limitation or is there something going on legally. The reason I ask is because I feel that this could actually be a money making scheme if you can do that. I think they are just...

Hi, Our house in the Bay Area is about 20 years old, and some things may be reaching the end of typical life. Already some home insurers wouldn't take us because the roof is too old. Our furnace still works but who knows how much longer it will last. Our home doesn't have AC and it would be...

Hey, I sent an email to the above address about wether or not the Solar Roof could go on a multi-family building. Still no response. Should I keep waiting, send them a follow up email, or something else? Also, if you have an answer to my question please comment below! Thank you

can anyone clarify something for me- does the powerwall ONLY power the subset of circuits that they put on a separate panel or does it cover the whole house (assuming the usage is below capacity)?

I signed a solar city commitment that is currently in the design phase (2 weeeks now) so I’ve been reading these forums religiously. My design is for a 5.2 KWH system (using the 325w panels) and 1 Powerwall. This is currently 110% of our monthly usage but I still feel like I should increase to...

So we have for years been taught by Tesla that it is NOT good to routinely charge our car batteries to 100% unless you're taking a lot trip a couple of hours later. Which got me to thinking. Our phones and other devices that use batteries ... we charge them overnight all the time to 100%...

Hi All Finally got my first PW installed last week. Since I care more about harvesting power from solar during the day, to use at night, I set the reserve to just 15% and the PW to Self-powered mode. However, it never discharges any energy. I called the support number, and they said it was...

Just out of curiosity, how many people have received their Powerwall 2 in Florida, especially South Florida? I would think since Florida is such a hurricane prone area, I'm surprise most Powerwall 2 installs are only done in California area at the moment. Aside for regulation, what make Tesla so...

I am looking into building a new house and looking into installing one or two Powerwalls as a backup power source combined with about 15kWp of PV on the roof. It however seems that all solutions for the Powerwall are 1-phase and in the Netherlands/Europe the whole grid is 3-phase 400VAC. Does...

I'm starting a new thread because I didn't want to revive one that's been inactive for a long time. I've asked this question before and have not seen an answer. I own some solar bonds from Solar City. I get 5% on ten-year bonds. The bonds are non-negotiable, so they are illiquid, but 5% is a...

Hi folks, newbie here. Am impressed by the level of knowledge and discussion here. Appreciate some feedback on a scenario that has probably been asked in various forms before, but even after reading many posts, am not sophisticated enough to understand. In SDGE pricing EV-TOU2. Have an...

You can use my link for free unlimited Supercharging with a new Model S or Model X. Those who order before October 31, 2017 will also receive a $1,000 purchase credit. or a 5-year extended warranty on a new solar panel purchase. Unlimited Tesla Supercharging and Extended Solar Warranty

When asked when non-employ Model 3 customers can expect delivery of their cars, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet: “Assume the worst.” “Now I need to get back to work…” he said as a sign-off from the brief tweetstorm. Musk seemed to show a sense of urgency in pulling his company out of its...

Tesla has already sent hundreds of Powerwalls to Puerto Rico to help restore electricity in the wake of Hurricane Maria. Today, CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter the company would be glad to scale the system to power the whole island if the government wanted to pursue that option. Tesla has...

In my efforts to maximize self consumption I have been charging my MS at ~11 kW (48A) during the peak solar periods. As I have only two PW2 units (3rd coming) I know that they should be able to deliver to a 10kW load continuously. During charging I noted that my cooling fans on the PW2 units...

Hey Everyone! I've had Solar City Solar Panels on my roof for about a year or two, and I was wondering if there was a way to link that to my Tesla account? I have the solar city app, but since the two companies merged, did they allow this yet? Thanks!

Why are both of the certified installers in Georgia over charging for installation of the Powerwalls in Georgia. We need more certified installers. I have one of the simplest install and both installers want to overcharge to do the installation of the Powerwalls. 1200 for a Backup Gateway...

Another genius marketing move from EM to send Power Packs to Puerto Rico but a key question is if devastations like in Florida or Puerto Rico may path the way and accelerate efforts to a more resilient and sustainable micro grid power system? If so, the demand for systems like already installed...

So I got my solar and 1 powerwall 2 installed 6 days ago. I ran an ethernet to my backup gateway. I noticed today that on Sept 29th I had about 500mb uploaded from it and around 80mb downloaded. Is that normal?

Hi, anyone else in Australia have their app go a little bonkers today with the change to daylight savings time? Looks like the PW2 didn't change its time. Should this happen automatically or is it a manual change (if manual does anyone know the process?). Cheers, dj

Tesla is shipping hundreds of Powerwall battery systems to Puerto Rico

Tesla’s referral program received a number of updates today, notably the ability for Tesla car owners to refer Tesla Energy customers and vice versa. Additionally, Tesla will end the $1,000 discount for Model S or Model X buyers using a referral code at the end of October, but will still...
