I have 4kW panel and 1 PW+. I did a test for the "off-grid" mode by using the "Go Off-Grid" button in the app. It's strange that it uses power from battery rather than solar panel. The test is around noon, so there's full sun and plenty of solar power. Why it doesn't use solar power? Does anyone have similar experience?
Another question is, my house is partial backup. The range is NOT in backup. But I can still turn on and use it in "off-grid" mode, the system didn't switch back grid by itself. It just shows some non-sense data and the data keeps changing. If click the yellow exclamation icon, it shows error message. Does anyone know is this normal? Why the non-backup device is still working in off-grid mode?
One more question, can I request Tesla to change my backup device? My range is not in backup, but SPA is in backup. This design doesn't make sense. I hope the range is in backup rather than SPA. They are both 50A devices.
Thank you.
