Powerwall settings to stabilize output?

[Odobo]

So we are in the middle of this heatwave in SF bay area and I am in a outage. Good news is the Powerwall is keeping our lights and AC on, but something is up in these couple days that I keep seeing the whole house light blink for a sec and it cause my AC and router to reboot.

Looking at the app I see a series of 1 min or less outage, so I assumed the grid was unstable that cause what I am seeing. But I also set my Powerwall to either power from 3pm to 12am or in self power mode, yet the grid is still causing the house lost power for a sec....

Any one knows why this is happening? And got a solution for it?

Does it maybe correspond to your AC trying to turn on?

No, AC was already on when it happened. In fact AC stays on for a while until the ecobee reset then shut it off.

I was expecting to see that someone using their solar to mine the winning numbers.

OP, tesla gateway (and by extension powerwalls etc) have "ride through "settings that they have to have by design, for syncing to the grid. You might have an overtaxed transformer or something in your neighborhood, causing little brown outs. I am certainly not a pro, but I dont think there is any way to fix that on your end other than throwing your main breaker and running off your own microgrid if you can.

Basically, it sounds like your local grid cant handle the current stress being put on it, and because of the way all of our equipment is, if power doesnt cut cleanly, you can see stuff like this. Thats my opinion on what is happening though, and as I said, I am not an expert in this subject.

Powerwalls are not guaranteed to take over fast enough to keep computers and other sensitive electronics running through the switchover, especially if the solar panels aren't carrying all the load. I still keep my electronics on UPSes for that reason.
