Hey All,

My current setup is Tesla Panels 7.14kw and 2 Powerwall 2. I have a detached garage that has some solar panels on it now that I use to power the garage. There is a a 30A 120V line running to it as well.

I wanted to tie the 600W solar panel into the home using a grid tie inverter to help off set the house consumption more.
I usually us around 9000-1200watts/hr if I can trim off a few watt per hour during the day that would be great.

I didn't want back feed the grid if there was a back out but with my current setup I think my backup gateway solves that issue by turning off my connection to the grid automatically when it detect no from grid so that I can safely continue to power my house VIA the powerwall and the grid tie inverter?

Has anyone else did something like this? It seem to be a waste to have 600 watts not really doing anything on garage
