I am currently waiting an install of a single powerwall. I have a small condo in phoenix. In the last 300 days my demand peaked over 5kw 6 times so it seems to be a good fit for a pw2. I have a couple of questions that ive seen conflicting answers to and a few i can't find answers for. If anyone knows thanks in advance.
1. I have a 3ton central ac. It uses about 2600 watts to run. Can a single powerwall start that ac? I saw a post that is im assuming going to be moved here about someone with 2 3 ton acs and two powerwalls and he couldnt start them even one at a time. Until tou becomes a reality (i have no solar just terrible on peak rates so i can break even in 8.5 years assuming install is under 1k) i plan to flip the breaker at 3 until 8pm. No good answer from tesla. Without ac which is 75% of my use its a non-starter.
2. Will i be allowed to just do whole house even though my panel is 22kw rated? Ive seen evadence both ways.
3. Inverter is rated at 5kw and 8 peak for 10 seconds. What about 6000 watts how long ?
4. No one may know this yet but with tou can i peak shave 5000 watts from demand and then excess need comes from the grid?
Thanks
