powerwall 2

I have had a new Powerwall installed and have updated the software to the latest version. All seems to operate as planned exc time based control. I get an error saying: Error failed to save settings when I try to select the mode. I have tried entering my utility rate plan info to see if that...

Hello, first time poster with an outrageous claim, so I'll cut right to the chase: I have identified a hardware design defect with the Tesla Powerwall 2 that violates IEC 62109-1, which Powerwall is certified to adhere to. The violation isn't borderline, and it poses an electrocution hazard...

Hey All Hope some help can be shared on our situation. Solar value is correct, but grid pull value is less. We have a myenergi car charger with monitoring We have 88 panels on the roof via Solar Edge with monitoring both systems for a year and both line up We have a 3 phase factory and 2...

can we install powerwall plus without a back up load? the soalr pv will be installed with powerwall plus, customer doesnot want anythign to back up and wants all the energy to go to the grid to offsets all the time of use rates. if we can do this do we need gatway or we can just land the...

Curious thoughts on what’s happening here. Had a new system (enohase Solar, Tesla Powerwall) just installed. Going thru inspection steps but in the meantime, the installer left the system on (presumably testing). Was nice and we set it for self-powered mode to charge in the day and then offset...

I recently got a PW installed by a certified Tesla installer (not Tesla themselves)(see end of post for setup). It was the installer's first job and I had to self diagnose quite a bit. There were multiple CTs that I had to flip myself via the TeslaPros app and I had to double the solar CT (which...

Hello, I have 2 powerwall v2 with gateway for sale in the Seattle area. I need a system that gives more juice because of the size of my family. 12k obo

During today's outage in the SF Bay Area, the Powerwall charge went from 97% to 0 almost instantaneously. The app was full of red flags and warnings to shut down everything. To make matters worse, the app says not to troubleshoot during an outage. I was getting very nervous, trying to contact...

Hello There! I have 2 - Two Tesla Powerwalls and Gateway for sale. I recently moved to Austin Texas from California and had them installed for only for one month in my old home. I was planning to save them and re-install the in my new home here in Austin. Based on the current market conditions...

Hi there. I have recently had a Tesla Powerwall 2 & gateway 2 installed in my home and the installer is trying to charge me for £188 for "System Monitoring via Tesla Portal"? Can anyone explain what this is? I thought this was built into the Powerwall via Tesla servers. Just like their vehicles...

My question comes from not knowing the ins and outs of NEM and the confusing PGE statement if you have paired storage. Long story short I have the option to charge my powerwall from the grid during off peak hours, should I? I usually have a yearly true-up around $500 I have a 5kW solar system...

Hi all, Very happy to have found this forum. I'm struggling a bit and am hoping someone is familiar with my issue. I had a new Powerwall 2 installed on 25th Nov (2 weeks ago). It is installed as a Backup only (i.e. large UPS essentially). I live in South Africa, so this is to combat the...

Strange thing happening in the App. Power being drawn from batteries and stored in the batteries shows up in the graphs, but not in the numerical displays at the bottom of the screen. It's been going on a couple of days. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, how did you resolve it...

I am in the Bay Area (PG&E) and have an order for a 9.6 kW solar + 2 PW in-progress. However, I recently discovered that I am in PG&E's special outage block #50. This means that I am "generally exempt from rotating outages" because "essential services such as hospitals and police and fire...

Hi all, Long time forum lurker, recent Powerwall 2 + solar buyer. I've had a Powerwall 2 (with Gateway 2) installed alongside a solar array (using a Fronius inverter). For the most part, everything has been smooth sailing - however, there is one issue... We have a lot of planned power outages...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for clarification on a certain question I had. I was wondering if Tesla allows using a line side tap from an existing main service panel to the backup gateway with solar and powerall configurations. For further clarification, the service panel and meter can are in...

Hello all. Need some advice. We live in Los Angeles county and need to decide about placement for. Powerwall. Garage isn’t an option for logistic reasons. Options, to get around the extremely onerous 5ft code rule would be either: - Same side of the home as the panel, approx 30ft away. But the...

When I moved last year I had my Powerwall 2 uninstalled (by a certified Tesla contractor, they can attest to its operability) thinking I would get a new system in the home we would move in to. This 'new' house has some challenges that are leading me to push out getting a new system for a few...

The installers installed two Powerwalls in my garage in stacked configuration, which required drilling a hole on the front metal cover of the 2nd Powerwall that is currently sitting behind the 1st Powerwall. The hole is several inches wide in diameter. Due to permitting issues, they are now...

Hey all! I am selling my 2 Red Founders Edition Powerwalls that I currently have installed at my home in Sunnyvale, California. They are a little over a year old and they work perfect. Batteries charge to 100% and there are zero issues with these units. If there is something you'd like me to...

Hello! We have recently installed a PW2, Gateway & 7kW panels. System has been working great with our utility setup as below. - Peak: 12am-9pm - Super Off-peak: 9pm-12am (free power) During the Super off-peak, we would charge the PW2 from the grid @ 3.5kW while we were consuming energy through...

My PW2s have been updated to 22.18 at some point in recent days / weeks. Last documented version is 22.9 in April Has anyone seen any changes as a result? I have a suspicion re the TOU off peak charging algorithm “trying” to be more frugal re using grid charging and therefore leaving more room...

The Tesla Powerwall warranty says that at the end of 10 years, the PW is guaranteed to hold at least 70% of its original charge. Can the homeowner measured this? Or is this something Tesla does remotely?

Had an interesting Powerwall / Gateway problem today. Yesterday was very cloudy, and although I am on time based control, the PW did not charge up fully the previous night, so I was on full priced power from 4pm.🙁 So, last night, just after the cheap rate came on, I set the reserve % at 50%...

I have a current Enphase system with S280 inverters (they are not IQ compatible), system is 30x320W and broken up into 3 arrays. I wanted to make sure that my existing PV system will be able to charge the Powerwall (being that it is upstream from the Tesla Backup Gateway 2) in addition to the...

I currently have a solar panel system connected to two Powerwalls. I'm considering adding a second solar panel system, and I want the second solar panel system to also connect to the Powerwalls (both solar panel system connected to the PWs). This way the Powerwalls will get charged quickly...

Just had a notification that PW is 83% charged and supplying power to my home. Did not say there is an outage. Neighbor’s lights are on. No X on the animation. Peak period began 2 hours ago and PW has been supporting the house since then as usual. Washer and gas dryer are running (special case...

I have a 5x Powerwall-2 whole house backup with a 14.2kW PV solar panel system. I would like to charge my Model Y using only excess solar power, independent of peak or non-peak utility rates. The reason is to reduce the newly imposed "cost of transmission" charged for any power I draw from the...

I have two Tesla Powerwalls w/ a whole house backup and without solar. On my Tesla app - Settings menu, there's a setting for Vehicle Charging when Off-Grid. I want to set the threshold to 100% (i.e., no car charging at all when the grid is down). But when I set it to 100% by moving the slider...

Hey all! This is a follow up to an earlier thread I posted about some issues I was having with my partial-home back up. Tesla came out and installed some hardware in my main breaker box and presumably I'm now providing electricity from my 2 Powerwalls to my non-backed up loads at night time...

Hello! I'm getting some mixed answers on this from Tesla support though I thought I'd pose the question here: I have 2 Powerwalls and a 12.24 kW system; plenty for my home in Arizona. A few months after the PV installation was done, we had a pool installed. The pool people put the power for...

Hi all, Owner of two Powerwall 2s in UK here. They are installed on the wall inside my garage and I’m getting building work done (converting two single garage doors into one large automatic garage door) which involves removing a central brick pillar which is going to generate a lot of brick...

So the maths and the policies and laws are a bit confusing. I am trying to figure out, if I switch to time-based rates, and I am also part of the local Demand Response plan, how does the demand response credit get calculated, as Tesla shows nothing in the app for demand response events and...

Hello, i am seeing a substantial difference (on certain days) between what the APP says it exported to the grid and what PGE says it received. Please see attached plot and data below. This has been going on for a while. please help me understand this. regards BK

I am having two Powerwalls and gateway 2 installed. I have been going over the installation manual to understand how everything works and make sure my installers do it right (I am their first install). Everything will be wired for whole-home backup with the Powerwalls and solar coming into the...

I would greatly appreciate it if anybody has the answer to a bit of knotty problem I am trying to sort. SitRep. Had 1x Powerwall + 1x Gateway 1 + 1x solar array on a single phase UK electricity supply for about 2 years. All working fine. Have recently upgraded to 2-phase grid supply with our...
