My Tesla solar was installed one week back. 8.2 Kw panels with one Powerwall+. It is turned on and is in "Self Consumption Only" mode. Permit from our power company (PG&E) will take a few more weeks. It is generating power but the app shows very strange things. wondering if this can indicate problems with sensors, wiring, or some how due to "Self Consumption" mode. It does not make sense at all.
Listing a few of these strange things here:
Listing a few of these strange things here:
- Power generation fluctuates a lot during the day (from 1.5 kw to 7 kw) even though there are no clouds or shade.
- Shows panels generating multiple kw of power during middle of the night!
- Though AC is not connected to powerwall, it is supposed to be powered by solar. But it is not. Whenever AC is on, it is drawing from the Grid (verified on PG&E meter).
- It often shows 0 kw for home, even though multiple things are on.
- I can list lot more weird things like this . Phone calls to sub-contractor & Tesla agent haven't helped.
- First: Shows fluctuating generation. 2Kw during midnight :->.
- Second: Shows zero consumption from the house
- Third: Show very high consumption at home (13Kw) and high generation at 9am with completely cloudy sky.
