Discussion: "Powerwall +"
- Thread starter willow_hiller

That info is incorrect, they told me teh same thing at first. I have a 12.24kw system with 2 Powerwall+.
My software was upgraded last Friday to 21.20.2. I even noticed the “Go Off Grid” button that people talk about when logging directly into the gateway. However, this morning, I noticed that my software has been downgraded back to 20.49.0. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes, others are also being downgraded myself included. There is another thread with reports:

Gateway updated to 21.20.2
I don’t see the grid_code_overrides property when I try /api/site_info locally, on both 21.20.2 and 21.20.3 now. Granted I don’t have PTO yet but I’ve worked with Tesla support over the phone to get my system operational so I could charge my Powerwalls. "max_system_energy_kWh" : 27...

I had a site visit today by Tesla. The rep told me that my current plan (which I can't see on the web yet) specifies 2 PW2 and 2 PW+. He suggested to request for 4 PW+ when the official plan is released to me before signing the contract. I'd imagine that 2 PW2 and 2 PW+ will have bigger 'pairing' problem.
I got my Full Plan Set from Tesla today. It specifies 2 PW+ and 2 PW2.1 (3012170-05-B). After some google searches, it seems like it's the normal 4 PW configuration. The Tesla 4 PW picture shows 4 big boxes and 2 small boxes. I'm guessing the one-big/one-small box is called PW+, and the single big box is called PW2.1.

Actually, if you look at the labels you'll see the PW & Inverter combo referred to as a PW 2.5 and a PW+, depending on which label you read.
Did those of you in CA, especially if in PG&E territory, get the meter-socket Backup Switch as part of the PW+ installation?
Great question, from working with PG&E it might be approved in about 18 months lol.
We will find out more today as Tesla is putting on a Webinar regarding the Backup Switch.
Unfortunately no, it's for Certified Installers only.
They didn't mention PG&E approval, so I assume they do not approve this yet.
They did provide compliance packages so that installers could reach out to the utilities themselves, and see if we can help get approval.
The general design is really great, but the devil will be in the details. For instance, when the generation meter adapter (GMA) came out PGE basically made it so restrictive that it will be rarely used.
I suspect this Backup Switch will be the same case, unfortunately. This is another product that takes away a revenue stream from PGE, service upgrades and swaps will be required less often if the backup switch is approved.

Have you gotten this resolved?
I just had my install (same system as you) and they could not commission properly. Being told new firmware will be released 7/26 to resolve my issue.
My system appears to be working, still waiting on PTO, after getting updated to 21.20.3. I was briefly on 21.20.4-RC1-WR1 and that seemed to fixed the pairing issue and then they downgraded my firmware to 21.20.3 that I'm on today.

Thanks. I wonder how long it will take them to do that for me. Do you have a backup gateway2 also?
right now my app shows powerwall 3x

I put in a 12.24 Kw and 2 Powerwall+ system in june and still waiting for PTO. I realized that only one Powerwall was lit, so i put in a call to tesla and they came out. After 4 hrs of troubleshooting they said the inverter on the Powerwall that was not lit needs to be replaced. They mentioned it will be a few weeks to get in the inverter.

Interesting,
I have same system and both inverters are not working currently. Tesla claims it will be a firmware update to fix the issue. Trouble is the Powerwalls are discharging about 5% each day and are now down to 10%. I hope they get it sorted out as they are doing the final inspection Monday.
