Tesla Motors Club

I am new to this space so would really appreciate any advice. Not sure if I'm even thinking about this correctly. Than you in advance.

- Currently have existing 3.8kwh solar panel system (not Tesla) (generate about 4500 kwh annual)
- I placed order for Tesla 4kwh solar panel system + 1 powerwall (tesla estimates 4574 kwh annual).
Tesla came back with partial home setup. I live in Bay Area in N. Calif.

1) Does the powerwall connect to both solar panel systems? Does it charge from both systems as if it's operating as one?

2) Do I need to order a 2nd powerwall? (prefer to not spend additional cost and don't need AC or Ev charger). Trying to understanding ramifications of 1 vs 2 powerwall beyond the cost. Would 2nd powerwall allow whole home backup vs partial?
