Hi,
My apologies as I may not have all the technical details correct but I just completed a Solar Roof (8kw) +2 PW install here in the Bay Area.
We have a M3 and a Gen2 Wall Charger. When we plug the charger into our M3, the load pulling from the grid is about 10-11kw and is causing our main breaker to trip (we are being taken off the grid). Tesla is still troubleshooting this but their current working theory is that the load balancing in the Gen2 charger is insufficient and I need to upgrade to a Gen3 charger which according to them offers more sophisticated load balancing to support our system. Alternatively, I could shift the charger off the solar/backup setup but that would seem to limit our options in case of emergency needs.
Beyond the cost, moving to the Gen 3 is problematic as we use the full length of the Gen 2 charger (Gen 3 is six feet shorter), I'm just confused why we're having such an issue with the Gen2 charger in our setup?
I'm confused and would greatly appreciate any guidance or insight this community could offer.
Thanks!
