Yes, it could be just like any off grid hybrid inverter controls its DC coupled solar panels which would be faster than the protocols inherent in UL1741SA.The thought would be that this would be an added method - hypothetically,
micro inverters or Optimizers, I think, for Solar Edge.
While we know they have announced the product and are starting to include it in new contracts, it may not be available that soon for planned installs as they roll it out (and presumably look to deplete inventory of their non-Tesla inverters.) That said, it does not hurt to ask. The Tesla inverter would probably be nice to have long-term as it will presumably be a more integrated product, though there is probably a higher risk of issues in the short-term, as with any new product.So I am scheduled to have a 9.18 kW system with 2 powerwalls installed on jan25 with a SE inverter. My roof is pretty much all sun, so not too worried about optimizers (right?). Should I ask my PM to switch me over to the tesla one?
I can imagine reflection from the sails, high clouds and the wind cooliing the panels would all contribute to that phenomena.

I’ve had two solaredge inverters fail in 3 years. Not impressed. I’m super happy to Tesla is making an inverter and I expect the engineering to be much better.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've heard a single report of a Powerwall failing. I'm sure it's happened, but it's not very common, is it?
Yes, I understand I won't be technically off grid. Actually, here in the middle of Sedona, Arizona, I'm not sure if the local utility allows it.Just to be clear, you keep mentioning "running off grid" but you will not be contacting your electrical utility and telling them to "come get your meter" if you have solar and tesla powerwalls. Essentially, its a grid tied system.
Its design is such that it will allow you to use your solar when the grid is off (if there is a power outage etc), but it is not an "off the grid" type solution. Also, if you have enough solar and batteries through (any weather and sun situation) in the winter, you will likely have a huge amount of over production in the summer. This only really becomes an issue depending on how your utility handles net metering.
In any case, you are likely aware of all this, but just wanted to make sure. As a point of reference, on my own system, I have a "negative grid draw" from about March 1 to about November 15, on a MONTHLY basis, however there are definitely days in there where that is not the case, because of weather. Also, from Nov 15 to Feb 28 my solar does not cover my home usage. Yearly, I end up close to "zero" but I dont consider myself to be "off the electrical grid".
I do enjoy looking at the daily negative numbers for most of the year, minimizing my dependance on my electrical utility, but its not "off the grid"
There was a rash of problems with the pump in early Powerwalls. However, I've never heard of an inverter problem on a Powerwall.Come to think of it, I don't think I've heard a single report of a Powerwall failing. I'm sure it's happened, but it's not very common, is it?

I wanted the screenWere these the older models with the display screens? Understand from what I read on here there were problems with it and likely resulted in the newer designed Wave model without the screen.
I thought @BrettS had a problem with his when it was first installed... saying this from memory though. I seem to remember tesla trying to give him a remanufactured one when he had not even paid for the new install as of that time. Other than him, I dont remember reading about powerwalls failing... and I could be mis remembering that full scenario.

The Powerblaster is just a Neurio. That functionality is available from a lot of products and is available as an option from Solaredge and Enphase. No magic there.it sounds like this inverter will also fill the role of the Powerblaster:
