Currently without PTO, hasnt been submitted by Tesla, my system solar is generating and providing power to my home during the day and feeding the grid. The Powerwalls are in Standby and are not charging or discharging. The numbers from the Powerwall API do not appear to be very accurate but my smart meter is showing that I'm putting power on the grid vs using power.
Careful, you may not be granted PTO or other penalties for sending power back to the grid before PTO.
I agree it is strange. I was told to leave it alone and to not touch any breakers as they are troubleshooting it remotely and need it on to test it. I build a python script that polls the data every 5 seconds and sends to influxdb and then displaying it in grafana. Maybe we should make something together if something nice doesnt already exist.
I share the concern and called Tesla and text the Tesla installers to have something in writing. They told me to not trust the readings and leave it alone as they are troubleshooting it with the engineering team remotely. I explained that my smart meter was reading energy going back on the grid and they told me to not worry about it and leave it alone until they tell me otherwise.
Check your conversations, I just sent you a message with the info.
The only thing I have seen is that the regular PW2 spec sheet has been updated to show motor start capability of 106LRA per Powerwall. Not sure which models this applies to.
In the upper right of your picture is a rj45 connector, just to the left of the 4 communication terminal blocks. Connect your ethernet cable to that. The gw2 defaults to DHCP and will ask for an ip addr from your home lan/router. The gw2 will still stay also connected via wifi, and cellular. So you will see 2 router DHCP client entries for this device. I havent yet found a way to disable the wifi client or the "teg-xxxx" AP it broadcasts. BTW, I never saw any indication in my install of the Powerwall having a LAN or WLAN network connection. I have powerwall+ models, 3012170. Another ip connection might show if you have Neo (a little black box Tesla also calls gateway, which is zigbee bridge to the PV inverter ). Gw2 is a power panel, has a shutoff from grid in it, power flow sensors (house use grid, solar output, Powerwall flow) , and a computer to send all the data to Tesla (which is in turn then where the mobile app talks to, not via your loacl devices) . As far as I can tell GW2 is the central place Tesla uses to control powerwall, backup modes, etc. Power wall can be told to force pv array to turn off by increasing its output frequency to about 65 or 66 hz. The inverters inside the Powerwalls' can largely be disregarded except for this issue. A different Inverter device entirely is responsible for converting dc from your pv array. Tesla couple every thing via ac.
Can you elaborate on the "associated inverter" pls? Did they install the new telsa inverter instead of e. G. SolarEdge or Delta? Maybe post a picture. And what is the model number of the PW, e. G. The "TPN" rather than the top label showing 2.1, etc.
Sure can. The first picture (4568) is the full setup in my garage with 36" spacing as per NYS requirements. The next picture (4593) is of the separate Powerwall 2.1. The next 2 pictures are both labels on the Powerwall 2.5 under the inverter (4595 & 4594) - no label on the stacked inverter.
I have a 12.24 kW system with 2 Powerwall+ units
