Tomorrow is day 3 of my install
Florida
I signed up for solar 15 kw and 4 Powerwalls.
My meter happens to be opposite to my garage divides into Panel A and Panel B.
Panel A only runs the pool
Panel B which goes all the way to the garage runs everything else including 2 air conditioners well water pump, dryer, fridge, water heater. Etc. -Pretty much THE WHOLE HOUSE.
Without having a discussion with me. They went ahead and installed 3 Powerwalls on panel B with 10kw from solar.
Then on Panel A (the pool pump) the rest of 5 kw of solar and 1 powerwall. Does this make sense?
Is it not possible if the meter comes in to feed the whole 15 kw and 4 Powerwalls to power both panels like the grid does ? I will attach picture.
why would I use 5kw of my 15 kw and 1 powerwall to power a pool pump that is active 11 hours a day?
Any input would be appreciated. They are coming in tomorrow to finish the job. Installing surge shield since 3 Powerwalls are not enough for panel B.
As I write this I have 2 gateways. The gateway with the pool pump has Zero kWh usage.
Also this upsets me since I conceded from changing powerwall location from garage to outdoors. The initial evaluation gentleman stated they could install Powerwalls inside the garage. The Installation crew said no had to be next to meter which places them in the afternoon in direct sunlight and I live in Florida.
I have no electrical background hence wanted to get some opinions from you guys.
Is this bizarre or is this a common Powerwall solar installation
