Update: Rain intensity eased and solar producing now. PWs are charging from array, although not much. Is there anything we can do to get them to charge from the grid?
Hi, newbie here. Just got power from PG&E after a 4+ day outage. We had depleted our Powerwalls and had shut them down and disconnected the array and the batteries (basically that entire system) before hooking up a portable generator to the house. My husband is an electrician so he does know his disconnects. Anyway, we brought everything back up online and connected it to WiFi (that was fun) and we noticed slowly the segments around us are losing power again. We need to charge the Powerwalls, but they’re grid restricted and Stormwatch is on standby despite being under multiple hazards. Our array is producing nothing currently, which is weird but it’s pouring and the storm drain looks like a raging river. We haven’t passed inspection yet - the vendor keeps scheduling the inspector to come out and tells no one of the appointment and doesn’t schedule any technicians, so it’s going to be awhile before that happens. Anything we can do? The PWs are at 7%
