I did the same.That is definitely more of a guideline than a rule. I turned my on immediately and ran it for 3 weeks before my provider showed up. No one said anything to me.
This is what the Tesla Home Gateway protects against.Be careful with the advice above. If there are service people working on the lines there could also be a safety issue if you're exporting to the grid
i don't think the home gateway or any system I know of would know not to export to grid due to work being done upstream ... if grid is available and there is excess pv it will exportThis is what the Tesla Home Gateway protects against.
I don’t think I can export to the grid yet because I don’t have the net meter in place. The Tesla guy told me first they gonna have inspection from town then electric company will come and put the net meter.Be careful with the advice above.

This is most likely the 2nd case then - you /can/ export, but the meter will see it as if you were consuming it, so you get charged for what should be a credit.I don’t think I can export to the grid yet because I don’t have the net meter in place.

Thanks I don’t have a power wall just solar panelsdo you have power wall(s) ?
if so as stated above you can turn off main service breaker (to grid) and "island" you system . zero chance of exporting if you are a zero risk person like me
if you like to live dangerous . . you can just switch it all on and export / claim ignorance if anyone calls you out on it i personally would not do this even though chance of issues very low but i think the risk vs reward not good .. but to each their own
with just solar unless there is a setting in the tesla to prevent export to grid (i'm not familiar with non pW tesla systems) it would be difficult to not export .. you would have to run the pv (panels) only when your household consumption is higher than you pv production (not very practical) and you cannot shut off main grid breaker since your pv would not function thenThanks I don’t have a power wall just solar panels
I had mine running for months, exporting, before I got PTO. Of course, no credit for what I sent to the gridwith just solar unless there is a setting in the tesla to prevent export to grid (i'm not familiar with non pW tesla systems) it would be difficult to not export .. you would have to run the pv (panels) only when your household consumption is higher than you pv production (not very practical) and you cannot shut off main grid breaker since your pv would not function then
Hi
Tesla solar system 12.6 kw installed today. The run the test everything is good. It will take 30-45 days for electric company to come and switch net meter. Can I just turn on the switch outside or will that be issue
It is definitely a rule and a contractual agreement in most Net Energy Metering agreements. That being said, apparently my breaker was turned on for months between install date and PTO. No one said anything to me either. I did try to charge my Tesla as much as possible when the sun was shining.That is definitely more of a guideline than a rule. I turned my on immediately and ran it for 3 weeks before my provider showed up. No one said anything to me.
With Tesla Inverters I understand there to be a mode that does not export PV power. It simply uses CT to measure the home load and only inverts enough AC power to satisfy that demand. If all appliances in the home are off and the demand is 0 then the inverter will effectively export nothing.with just solar unless there is a setting in the tesla to prevent export to grid (i'm not familiar with non pW tesla systems) it would be difficult to not export .. you would have to run the pv (panels) only when your household consumption is higher than you pv production (not very practical) and you cannot shut off main grid breaker since your pv would not function then
