Hi, I got my system installed last week with one powerwall. I'm experiencing the following errors during monitoring through powerflow screen in the Tesla app:
1. When producing solar, the solar production power reading decreases immediately when an appliance is turned on. It goas back to the previous production value when it is turned back off.
2. The home load power value increases as the solar production value increases without any changes to the actual home load. I might know that my actual home load is around 0.5 kW but the home load value will increase gradually as solar production increases up to max reading around 2 kW. Right now solar production reads 4.8 kW and home load reads 1.8 kW. I know my actual home load is about 0.5 kW as it read this morning prior to the sun coming out. (see attached screen capture labeled as 2)
3. At peak production, I get a power reading of 5.2 - 5.3 kW when the max I get from the enlighten app is 3.8 kW, which make sense since I have 13 panels with IQ7+ (max 295W). Panels are 390W each.
4. The Solar Energy counter in the Energy Usage app screen have always read 0 kWh but there's a graph with power values that seems to be a mirror image of the energy to grid graph.
When I connect to the gateway I see the exclamation points at both solar and home with the messages: "Solar meter may be configured incorrectly". I get a similar one for the home load.
I've read about CT placement and orientation but I'm not sure how it would relate what I'm seeing.
I'll appreciate your feedback.
Thanks!
